There are definitely big opportunities available for people to make use of undervalued real estate like this.
This idea is not directly related to yours, but there are some parallels.
I recently went to an event hosted by Candlelight Concerts, and was struck by how smart their business model is.
They rent beautiful old churches all over the world (which see very little demand outside of sunday mornings), then they get a string quartet or a pianist to show up for an hour and play famous songs in a lights-off venue full of candles.
People love the ambiance, they love taking pics of all the candles for Instagram, and it’s a unique experience they’re willing to pay for.
But the best part is their business model.
The old churches they host these events at are the most beautiful buildings in a city, they have nobody to compete against on venue rental fees (events are in the evenings when most churches are empty), there are tons of talented underpaid musicians in every city, and with some cheap candles they can easily turn that into a fun experience for anyone.
I haven’t thought through the ways this could apply to Bitcoin, but Bitcoiners have always likened the idea of Bitcoin to a sort of religion.
Maybe under-used churches could be a starting point for establishing more Bitcoin meetups.
That is a great idea. I'm interested in renovation of old dilapidated structures with "good bones." I've seen former churches in old neighborhoods transformed into beautiful residential units. Of course, not exactly what you're talking about. The bottom line: There's lots of underused, decaying assets in the US that can be be useful again through bitcoin.
