Governments will do whatever they can to ensure that nominal values of homes don't go down
They will provide tax benefits to real estate investors, give new home buyers discounts, and make it easier to get into debt to buy a home
All of this is an attempt to make it look like the housing market in their country is appreciating
Why?
Because they know that everyone's money is broken and savers need a place to keep their wealth
When the home prices in a country appreciate, wealth makes its way into the country
But when housing prices constantly go up, the majority of citizens are hurt
Newer generations can't buy homes
Wealth becomes more concentrated with a small group over time
More people experience homelessness
Some people own 30+ homes, while others can barely even afford the rent on one
Today 1 house costs more than 6 bitcoin
Within 30 years, 1 bitcoin will buy 6 houses
Blackrock's Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, now holds 270,976 BTC, up 1,663 from the last trading day.
900 BTC are issued per day. Around April 20, this will drop to 450.
Blackrock clients bought 2x the amount of BTC that was produced.

I can't force you to study Bitcoin
But I hope that my 10-15 posts EVERY DAY made you curious
I can't just tell you to trust me because I don't think you should
I want you to do the research
But I don't think most people will
If you're interested in learning, start with The Bitcoin Standard from
@saifedean
You will probably end up with MORE questions than you have right now after you read it, but you will start putting the pieces together!
We will see more people holding smaller amounts of Bitcoin as time goes on
Bitcoin becomes more widely distributed with time
Today's no-coiners will eventually hold Bitcoin - they will buy from people who previously held
The price they buy is completely up to them, but EVERYONE will eventually hold Bitcoin
The people who hold Bitcoin today know that there's no benefit in just having more purchasing power over time
You need to exchange your purchasing power for goods and services
I don't think this will happen with real estate because the market is designed to ensure current holders never sell (eg. you get tax benefits for renting out a property, but you pay taxes when you sell if you earned a profit)
You can hoard real estate forever, collect cash, and pay for your lifestyle with other people's money
This is what the system was designed to do
Until it doesn't work anymore...
You see
Real estate ONLY WORKS as an asset in a system where the money is constantly being debased
Homes were only an investment vehicle until a better form of money came into existence - Bitcoin
The old system (fiat currencies) is built to ensure there's a wealth gap
The new system (Bitcoin) breaks the old system
In the old system, we are taught to use real estate to exploit the needs of anyone who needs a place to live by turning something we NEED into a financial tool
In the new system?
We use something that is purely designed to store, account for, and exchange value, as money
Bitcoin will disrupt every financial market in the world
Most people don't see it because they're measuring the value of assets with the money from the old system
Real estate values will only go up when priced in US Dollars because USD is always losing value
On a Bitcoin standard, real estate values will fall by 50-80%+ every 15-20 years, likely forever, because Bitcoin can't be debased, but more houses can be built
Saving in Bitcoin could be the best financial decision you make
Why?
Because most people are still ignoring it
STUDY BITCOIN
The sooner you do this, the sooner you understand all the things I'm constantly talking about
The goal is to buy Bitcoin before everyone in the world is working to earn it
People don't understand absolute scarcity
There will NEVER be more than 21M Bitcoin
No war can change that
No chart pattern can reflect that
We don't know how expensive 1 Bitcoin will be in 30 years
No model or law can predict the future
Stacking more is the only way to go
If you can buy 1 Bitcoin today and you wait
The same amount of money will buy 0.1 Bitcoin
Then 0.01 Bitcoin
Then 0.001
The purchasing power of EVERY fiat currency is dropping at least 30% per year in terms of Bitcoin
This loss will escalate as every government-issued currency spirals out of control
Central banks can raise rates temporarily to slow down this loss in purchasing power
But they can't keep it up for 5, 10, or 20 years
Just buy Bitcoin and wait!
Out of 8 billion humans
Only 20,999,999 can own 1 whole Bitcoin
This is 0.2625% of the global population
But when you consider that there are companies and some individuals who own thousands of coins
And you consider that 3-5M coins are likely lost forever
And that so many people own fractions of Bitcoin
It means EVEN FEWER people can own 1 Bitcoin
I'd guess that less than 2 million people can own a whole coin simultaneously 🤯🤯
I spent a very long time and A LOT of money learning how to make the financial system work for me:
- University degree in accounting and finance
- CFA designation
- 10 years of experience in the financial industry
And yet
Someone who consistently bought Bitcoin outperformed any asset I learned about and invested in 😂😂😂😂😂
It took a LOT of work to get over my ego
I had to admit I was wrong about stocks and real estate
Learning about the financial industry was a sunk cost
I will never get that time and money back
But it led me to Bitcoin, so I'm grateful!
"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."

This applies to currencies (like Dollars, Yuan, Pounds, Euros, Rupees, etc). Keeping your cash safe in a bank account keeps you from losing money BUT that's not what currencies are for.
When you keep your currencies safe, they slowly lose buying power (this represents what you can exchange them for, like food, energy, shelter, etc) until they're worth nothing.
Currencies are only designed to be a medium of exchange, NOT a store of value.
Get rid of them as soon as possible to buy scarce things (my preference is Bitcoin).
