I’ve been hesitant to share this news for privacy reasons, but I think it’s worth sharing…

I bought a house!

Before my fellow bitcoiners give me the talk about monetary premiums, real estate not being a good investment, and the market on the precipice of collapse, hear me out.

1. I didn’t and won’t sell any bitcoin for my expenses. I’ve only been selling stocks so far as needed. It actually feels good to pull away from Blackrock-related funds and decrease my fiat investments.

2. I will be able to reap short-term and long-term tax benefits of house ownership.

3. This is not an investment. This is my home! I can finally buy a big freezer for half a cow and lots of ice cream haha. I can create a garden, build a sauna, or buy a big safe. I can start making a space my own.

4. It’s in a nice area and I got it for a deal IMO. This reduces risk of losing equity of the market does decide to crash. It’s also near family which is important to me.

All that being said, I’m excited! Even if it doesn’t work out, it will be a learning experience and plenty of fun along the way.
