Think VERY deeply before you take out a loan, attempt to leverage, or put any of your #bitcoin at risk.

Currently, it’s better to leverage a house to buy bitcoin, than to leverage bitcoin to buy a house.
IMO it's best to avoid leverage in order to maximize freedom.
Agreed. But in which are you more free?
1. Paid off $200k house with 0.1 Bitcoin.
2. $200k house with $100k mortgage and 1.1 Bitcoin.
That house is a geographical anchor and tax target either way.
We can both agree that the paid off house AND the 1.1 Bitcoin is best, but the tied up equity in the house is the only way for many to be able to pay down owning a whole coin over time without the price running away from them.
Zero houses and more Bitcoin.
I feel you, sounds like you have your situation figured out. Many like having a house, many more already have a house, and many of those don’t have bitcoin. That’s the target audience here.
The American Dream has become the American Trap.
Debasement of the US Dollar caused Property to act as a substitute for hard money, fueled by easy money backed by the US tax payer (especially since the GFC bail out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac).
Opt out of their debt slavery.
I agree with the current condition that you're pointing out. But, bitcoin allows owning both. The opt-out isn't avoiding owning a home and land. The opt-out is owning the sizeable amount of bitcoin alongside it. If everyone starts to do this, the real estate market will revert to its fundamentals; which are the desire for a secure place for your family tied to the cost of the sticks and shingles.
Now, admittedly Bitcoin won't get rid of all rentals, but it will get rid of the landlords that weren't in it to run a service business and were just trying to preserve their prosperity. They never wanted rentals to begin with. This is the sucking sound that will grow louder as bitcoin draws equity from real estate markets.
It won't necessarily crash the RE market. It will likely just slow it's growth and let prices settle into a real value, uninflated by desperate devaluation avoidance. Some markets will settle into price slips, even sizeable ones, depending on how inflated they are currently. But many markets will just stop inflating as quickly, like in the midwest.
Another interesting consideration, when I guide real estate portfolios or funds to refactor their holdings like I've been talking about, their best exit is to a family that can own and live in the home. This is so much better than selling it to another investor. This will bring down considerably the homeowners to renters ratios in communities across the country. This will take a decade or more to reach scale. But it's starting now. And investors are awakening to it.
