On the last point about investing with "these prices" ... remember bitcoins are divisable into many decimal places. So you can "invest" $20 if that's all you've got, and you get an equitable amount (per current

People price gouging during disasters is "offering a good or service for money", and it is unethical (and illegal). I propose that long-term gains from a single tenant, without an exchange of value (equity) is unethical. If you ow
