Yes actually. This is exactly what people going through hyperinflation do... They collect bricks so they can build a house later

Yeah, but they can't sell individual bricks that they used to build the house with, to access the purchasing power stuck in the value of the property.
They do in impoverished countries. That's what I'm telling you.
Are you telling me that they have a house worth, let's say $10,000, which is made up of of 1,000 bricks and they can just remove one brick from the house's wall and sell it for $10?
No I'm telling you they live in a shack and buy bricks with their weekly pay to save money because of hyperinflation of paper. Then one day they may have enough bricks to actually build a house but if they need food, at least they have bricks they can trade instead. They can't save the fiat. They can save the bricks.
That I understand. Saving individual bricks and selling them, when needed is one thing. My initial point was about selling bricks that make up the walls of the real estate.
