Beef tongue… YUM! The verdict is in: delicious. Amazing how one bite can time-travel you. Suddenly I’m in Pretoria, it’s a hot Christmas Day, and I’m mildly annoyed that I have to stop doing somersaults into the pool just to eat. Back then, lunch was cold cuts and mustard, Ma and Pa with their beers, the grownups laughing in the shade while the kids cannonballed and shrieked.
Beef tongue tastes like thick-cut roast beef — meaty, hearty, comforting — but not wild or gamey. If you’ve never had it, I suspect it’s not because it’s unworthy, but because smart chefs make sure they get it first.
Thanks to the incredible work at The Content Factory, I was included with real estate experts Jan Ryan, Broker Owner of RE/MAX Direct in San Diego County, CA, and Rebecca Hidalgo, CEO/Designated Broker at Integrity All Stars Realty in Chandler, AZ in The Spruce with this article, Real Estate Agents Agree: This One Home Feature Always Sells a Home Faster.
My quote:
Carla Gericke, Realtor at Porcupine Real Estate in New Hampshire, says natural light is of utmost importance to her clients, especially since winters in the area can feel long, dark, and dreary.
“When you walk into a sun-drenched kitchen or a living room with south-facing windows with a prospective buyer, you can practically watch their shoulders drop,” she says. “Light impacts mood, productivity, and even health, so homes that maximize daylight feel instantly more inviting and uplifting.”
Buyers are often looking for big windows, open layouts that don’t block the sun, and an orientation that captures morning and afternoon light.
So if you’ve been considering replacing your windows or removing that old, overgrown tree blocking the light from your home, now might be a good time to do it.
Did you know you can buy a house in the Free State for Bitcoin—right now? Did you know Porcupine Real Estate are the OGs of this revolution, quietly closing deals where digital meets earth? Picture it: your cold storage gains thawing into something warm and real–a deck overlooking maple trees mirrored in a bucolic lake, your keys both cryptographic and literal. Face it: HODLing hits different when it comes with a sunrise. And there is no safer spot to watch your life rise to new heights. Come join the evolution: Live free or die; live free and thrive!
Why futurists should invest in the Free State:
Tax-Free Gains Fuel Your Portfolio Pivot: Sell your BTC holdings without state capital gains tax in NH—unlike most states—and roll straight into real estate that appreciates steadily. Practically, early HODLers like those who’ve cashed out since 2017 have used this edge to buy properties; for instance, Porcupine Real Estate closed NH’s first all-Bitcoin home sale in 2018, turning digital gains into a $300K+ lakeside cabin that’s now worth double.

Proven Appreciation Outpaces Fiat Inflation: NH homes have surged 88% in value over the last five years in hotspots like Gilford, far outstripping national averages and hedging BTC’s volatility. Historically, post-2008 crash, NH rebounded faster than neighbors—median prices climbing from $237K in 2010 to $565K by mid-2025, with 65 consecutive months of growth—making it a HODLer’s safe harbor for wealth preservation.

Seamless Crypto-to-Deed Transactions: NH’s blockchain-savvy market lets you buy property directly with Bitcoin, no banks required. A practical win: In 2025, crypto-certified agents like those at NH Homes Searches facilitated multiple deals using BTC for Seacoast condos, yielding 8% rental returns while the state treasury stockpiles BTC reserves—positioning your property as a gateway to a crypto-powered economy.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Draws the Herd: As the first U.S. state to enact a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in May 2025, NH is magnetizing HODLers, boosting local demand and property values. Example: Post-law passage, investor inquiries spiked 40% for Manchester lofts—America’s hottest market 32 times since 2017—where early buyers saw 12.8% YoY price jumps, turning a $400K duplex into a $500K cash-flow machine.

Libertarian Community Amplifies Returns: Join 6,000+ Free State Project movers who’ve flipped NH into a freedom hub, using crypto for peer-to-peer property deals that build equity and networks. Historically, FSP pioneers like Mark Warden transacted the state’s inaugural BTC home sale, inspiring a wave where HODLers now rent to PorcFest attendees for 10%+ yields—your plot becomes both homestead and high-ROI node in the liberty grid.

Diversify Like a Boss: BTC + Bricks = Bulletproof: While BTC moons, NH real estate provides stable, tangible ballast—up 18.8% annually amid national uncertainty. Practical case: A New Hampshire father-son crypto recovery team, post-2022 bull run, invested recovered BTC into North Country farms; those assets appreciated 20% by 2025, generating passive income while BTC weathered dips, proving the ultimate HODLer’s diversification play.
