You’re not totally wrong…owning property in the U.S. isn’t absolute freedom. You do pay taxes, and yeah, things like eminent domain exist. But calling it a “perpetual lease” is kind of a stretch. With a house, you hold the title, you can sell it, rent it out, and borrow against it. That’s real ownership.
Sure, the government can step in, but they can’t just take your home without due process and compensation (5th Amendment). And civil asset forfeiture doesn’t even apply to personal homes in most cases.
Just like income is taxed but still yours, property is taxed but still yours. Bitcoin gives you financial sovereignty. Owning a home gives you stability and control over your space. Both matter.
