A $7 billion real estate platform just announced it's accepting Bitcoin for property purchases. This marks another milestone for crypto entering mainstream commerce—major corporations now actively integrating cryptocurrency payments into their business operations. The move signals growing confidence in Bitcoin's role beyond speculation, positioning it as a viable settlement method for high-value transactions. Whether this becomes the norm or remains niche will shape how seriously traditional industries view digital assets going forward.

Wait, really? Real estate is starting to accept Bitcoin? You can now pay for a house with BTC, mainstream adoption is really here. By the way, was the last deal completed? Did anyone actually pay the house price with crypto? No, if this becomes the standard, how will the house prices be calculated... who decides the conversion rate? Finally, it's no longer synonymous with "harvesting leek" (exploiting beginners).

Wow, finally a big company is taking it seriously. You can now use crypto to buy a house—this is truly different. But then again, how many people actually use crypto to pay the down payment? Most are probably just hype... With a platform worth over 7 billion entering the scene, it's a sign of a complete overhaul. Whether mainstream or not, the key is that this gives crypto a new identity—no longer just a tool for speculation.

Large institutions accepting BTC for buying houses, this time it's really different Wait, is it really just a marketing gimmick? Another step towards mainstream adoption, it feels almost there If houses can be paid for with BTC, are stablecoins still far behind? This is exactly what I've been saying all along, institutions are the ultimate driving force

Seven billion-dollar volumes accepting BTC settlement, and the computing network is about to become active again. This data is worth paying attention to. --- The idea of settlement methods for high-value transactions is somewhat idealistic; the key is the actual transaction conversion rate. --- What’s truly interesting is the underlying technical cost—whether the settlement efficiency can support large transactions like real estate. --- The prerequisite for mainstream adoption still requires sufficient liquidity depth; otherwise, it’s just a gimmick. --- From an ROI perspective, the emergence of such application scenarios is indeed changing miners’ earning expectations. --- It’s still too early to call this industry normal, but signals are indeed accumulating. It depends on whether there are followers in the future. --- I reserve my opinion on the statement that the settlement method is feasible; volatility still needs a solution. --- The key data to look at is how much BTC transfer volume this platform handles monthly, not the promotional effect. --- The actual layout opportunities do exist, but one must beware of marketing hype.
