I can't live in BTC even if I can live on BTC.

Someone is confusing a home with a financial investment. Get your base set up, a place you can raise your family and your children can run around. Travel all you want but you know you have somewhere you can always return when shit gets crazy. No one said you had to sell it or use it to make you money. Owning multiple homes you never see I think is fucking stupid but build out that family compound.
I'm lucky and was left land with a house, it needed serious repairs (roof, band joists rotten, drywall) but it has helped me save and have no worries about a mortgage.
I say left ( I bought it from my aunt for $100) fuck you taxes.
There are so many neglected farms available. Turnkeys are the shitcoin. Build or repair. Value comes from effort.
I won't buy any land that's been farmed in the last 100 years or so. Poison everywhere. 😖
There’s a significant difference in family farms vs commercial farms.
You think family farms in the 50s-70s were not using tons (literally) of DDT and other really awful stuff?
Healthy land is readily obvious.
Just pointing out the path I took and have enjoyed. Not here to convince.
It's a good path, for sure, but I cannot agree with the readily obvious part. Not a half a mile from here, a couple effectively lost their life's savings when they bought a farm that they later found out is stupidly high in PFAS, and consequently, can't graze cattle like they planned.
You'd never notice from just looking at it.
