After 70 months of payments, you've got a paid-off car that you bought for $40k, that ended up costing you $55k (thanks to interest and insurance), that's now only worth $16k (thanks to depreciation).

But stacking $500 worth of #Bitcoin monthly is considered risky. HFSP

If people could just math

If you can't afford a car off the cuff, financing works. There's nothing wrong with this.

A car is a net asset, even though it depreciates in book value.

A car gets you to work, to the shops, out of the rain, saves you time and does cost money to run but it's a net benefit than sitting on a bus or waiting for public transport.

Same for a horse.

🤷🏾‍♂️

In my personal hierarchy cars are the worst way to waste money after gambling and before recreational drugs 😂

Doing it on borrowed money is out of scale.

I love this real world scenario!

Buying a car with fiat that depreciates in value over time vs stacking bitcoin monthly that maintains/increases in value over time.
