Ok sure, but you still need a place to live. So either rent or buy on cheap fiat credit.

Rent goes up, fiat credit inflates away.

BTW rent includes the cost of ownership plus a margin.

In order to get the credit and buy the house you also need to deposit a substantial sum of money upfront. At least that’s the case in most countries. Say $100k to get the loan. If you rent you could put this money into #Bitcoin. If you buy, this money is stuck in your house. Which one will be the better investment overtime? In fiat terms I would say rent. In #Bitcoin terms it is obviously also rent. This will particularly be the case over the next 10-20 years with the rise of #Bitcoin and decline of Real Estate as an investment vehicle.

This is true. As an investment Bitcoin will always outperform on the long run.

However, a 100K advance in Belgium gets you a 1M house... So the numbers definitly vary depending on region. I believe the average house in Belgium is about 350K so a 35K advance here would be enough for what is average here.
