Bitcoin and Housing: A Path to Affordability II

Landlords can capitalize on bitcoin's price appreciation, which acts as an inflation hedge, rather than solely relying on increasing rents to offset higher construction and maintenance costs due to monetary inflation. This ultimately benefits consumers, who have been particularly burdened by rising housing costs.

A phenomenon of the fiat system is the use of real estate as a speculative investment vehicle, to hedge against monetary inflation. This has many negative consequences for society. Most noticeably, it drives up the cost of living significantly. By integrating bitcoin into their financial strategy, real estate developers can maintain affordability for tenants while also benefiting from bitcoin's potential to hedge against inflation.

This approach reduces reliance on increasing rental income, helping to stabilize rent prices and ultimately benefiting tenants. This is another example of how Bitcoin can help improve everyone's standard of living. #realestate #housing

Totally agree! It's great to see how Bitcoin can help keep rents down while keeping things affordable for everyone. Looking forward to more positive changes in housing! πŸ™ŒπŸ’° #Bitcoin #AffordableHousing

I suspect landlords will still need to increase rents to offset costs for the business case to make sense. But what might contribute even more to prices stabilizing back to utility costs is millennials/gen-z stacking bitcoin and renting instead of buying.

Absolutely.

That will (hopefully) drive down RE prices long term. + For those who hold Bitcoin, things become cheaper over time …

Yeah, I don’t expect nominal prices to go down. Though prices adjusted for inflation might stabilize. And yes, rents priced in bitcoin become cheaper.
