 Wow, that actually makes sense 
 I am sorry if it sounds awkward but what is Bitcoin? Explain it to me like I am a 5 years old. 
 It’s a digital money that can be spent and stored by anyone without the need for a third party bank, corporation, or government. 
 It’s money you can email. 
 You spend time to work and create value.
You want to exchange your value with a tool many would accept.
You create this tool and call it money.
Money when used to store its value during time should be hard, not infinite or controlled by some entity or central power, like FIAT is (dollar, euro, etc).
Bitcoin is many things. 
Is a protocol, is digital property, is money, is saving.
It is a tool which you can use to save your time not being worried that a central entity could change its rule, can't prevent you to be part of it, can't censor your transactions, can't take your time. 
 so it is like a real estate? 
 No, you pay taxes on real estate.
Real estate property derives from the state and is enforced by it. 
Real estate property after time needs to be refurbished.
You can't sell just a part of real estate.
You can't send real estate through space or take it with you, and store it in your mind eventually (memorizing seed phrase).
