Anyone who understands #Bitcoin recognises how frail Real Estate is.

Months to sell a property, non-fungible so values are magicked up based on β€œcomparable sales in the area”, constant maintenance costs, pretty much the entire market is on leverage versus mostly outright owned Bitcoin, and that thin market doesn’t allow owners to get out - they just bleed and bleed and bleed when everyone bolts for the exit.

When RE bursts, it’s going to take years to recover. After the 1893 Bank Crash in Australia it took 70 years. And most won’t know it til they’re upside down trapped with negative equity in their mortgages all whilst unemployment is shooting up and Govs flail hopelessly trying to do something.

When Bitcoin goes parabolic and overheats it crashes for a year and then goes back up. Traded instantly 24x7, it’s the thickest pool of liquidity on earth already and we can all see what’s happening all the time, able to react.

The wealth effect in RE is illusory; they expected NGU for ever and can’t take a drawdown. Bitcoiners knew it would be volatile but see dips as accumulation opportunities and HODL because everything favours their lower time preference.

Brilliant explanation πŸ‘ they will see it, at some point.

It's a massive delusion and reality will come once facts come into play, such as lower birth rates, lower demand for housing etc..

It’s already played out in Japan - but that could never happen β€œhere”!

The Baby Boom is ending and they need to exit nearly all their financial assets, yet birth rates have returned to the mean. It will be a glorious fire sale. Hopefully GenZ can hold on tight and don't get tricked by The Boomers like GenX... Outsourcing their jobs, importing cheaper labour etc.. buy2let, stock market scam.. The Boomers milked it hard. The most selfish generation ever.
