I wouldn’t want to be paying someone else’s mortgage and losing out on the equity, but everyone is different

If bitcoin goes where I think it’s going, you come out way ahead with my strategy
We have way more in bitcoin than we do our home, but we were wasting so many more buying opportunities when we were renting (it was about 2x our mortgage)
Still worth thinking about selling cause you could smash buy with the proceeds. If your stack is big enough, you can use this strategy with pretty low risk to cover your rent.
Our house is pretty much paid for already and we got full solar so we don’t need to pay ridiculous electricity costs. We even overfitted our array so we sell excess power back to the grid and hash with the rest. We couldn’t do that when renting. When you’re renting, you always need permission. Can’t grow your own food, can’t paint the walls the color you want, etc. Renting might be a good strategy for some, but not at all in our case. Money that comes in, doesn’t go towards rent. It’s all BTC.
I certainly wouldn't want to rely on borrowing money for a house/flat and then saving more money because of that. For example, a new water heater costs a lot, and if it breaks in my rental, the owner has to pay for it; if it breaks in my own home, I pay for it.
I'd rather buy Bitcoin and try to build something with the rest while living in a rental, unlike my ancestors who went into debt to buy a house/apartment because it was 'more profitable' than renting. Yea for them maybe, but also they got locked in to that place, I can move everywhere i can, if I need.
I guess it depends on the situation.
