Don’t agree with this view. Your house is never really yours, it’s government’s property

Facts
Legally, your house is yours as long as you pay taxes and follow the law. The government can’t just take it without due process or fair compensation (5th Amendment). So while they can regulate it, you still own it and have rights to it.
Are you listening to yourself?
They can in fact take it away without due process with eminent domain and civil asset forfeiture, but that’s relatively tare.
‘Owning’ a home is really a perpetual lease.
If you have to keep paying yo keep it it’s not really yours. You own your shoes, your car, your bitcoin, but you don’t really own your property in the US.

You’re not totally wrong…owning property in the U.S. isn’t absolute freedom. You do pay taxes, and yeah, things like eminent domain exist. But calling it a “perpetual lease” is kind of a stretch. With a house, you hold the title, you can sell it, rent it out, and borrow against it. That’s real ownership.
Sure, the government can step in, but they can’t just take your home without due process and compensation (5th Amendment). And civil asset forfeiture doesn’t even apply to personal homes in most cases.
Just like income is taxed but still yours, property is taxed but still yours. Bitcoin gives you financial sovereignty. Owning a home gives you stability and control over your space. Both matter.
Ok, perpetual lease with added perks
It makes sense at the right time and when you have a certain amount of wealth. It’s a hard sell if you’re young and building wealth given current environment where we have high rates and bitcoin as the opportunity cost
