Did you know you can't move an investment property from Victoria to Perth if Perth is performing better than Vic?
And did you know you can't move your property from Perth to NSW if Perth isn't performing?
That's the fundamental issue with brick and mortar investment properties.
1. You are stuck in that location.
2. The capital is not liquid.
3. The holding costs are 2-5% per year.
4. Agents eat at your pie.
5. Tenants screw your home and you have to pay for it.
6. It's a honey pot for taxes.
Bitcoin travels across space and time with no friction.
It can not be turned off and is built on rules and maths that no one controls.
Remember your 12 words and take your wealth anywhere, anytime.
Australian money expanded by 74% from 2020 to 2024.
Australian property is up 14.4% from 2020 to 2024.
Even if Australian real estate properties grew by 50% this year, they would only break even in terms of monetary expansion for the 4 year period.
I don't think the market understands the magnitude of MicroStrategy's Bitcoin playbook since August 2020.
From the year 2000 to 2019, their largest net profit year was 2015, when they generated $105 million. However, there were far more challenging years than profitable ones.
Their average net income from 2000 to 2019 was $32 million, and that only accounts for the positive years. If we factor in the negative years, the business was essentially a zombie company—everything that came in revenue-wise went out expense-wise.
Post-2000, after the accounting scandal and restatement, MicroStrategy likely faced years of financial recovery and stabilization.
In 2019, their market value was $1.4 billion.
COVID was a stake in the heart that pushed
@saylor
to the corner of a dark place.
"Kill the business or take a risk."
Saylor found Bitcoin through pain and survival.
Bitcoin was birthed on the back of the GFC, pain, and for some unfortunate people, survival.
MicroStrategy's first Bitcoin purchase was on the 11th of August 2020 for $250 million at an average price of $21,454 per Bitcoin.
Fast forward to 2025:
👉MicroStrategy is the largest business holder of Bitcoin, with today’s purchase taking them to 461,000 Bitcoin.
👉Their Bitcoin holdings are worth over $48 billion.
👉Their unrealized net profit from their Bitcoin holdings is $19 billion.
👉Their market value is now $95 billion—67x larger or up 6,700% from what it was in August 2020.
👉And for every 1% price move to the upside on Bitcoin, they generate 5.6 years of net income.
👉Their Bitcoin unrealized profits alone have generated 586 years of net income for the business.
Australian money expanded by 74% from 2020 to 2024.
Australian property is up 14.4% from 2020 to 2024.
Even if Australian real estate properties grew by 50% this year, they would only break even in terms of monetary expansion for the same period. 
Imagine you lived in a country where:
🤌 14.4% of your income went to a hidden tax called inflation sincxe 2020.
🤌 The government taxed a further 30% off your income
🤌 Had to pay 10% GST on everything you buy
🤌 Plus a bunch of other taxes like stamp duty and levies, over 80 types to be clear.
Taxes are collected so they don't have to print "as much" money.
So after your income of $100,000, you are left with about 50% to survive, not to mention spend over half of that on living expenses.
That country is called Australia.
Thankfully, Bitcoin is up 180% since Jan 2024 and was the ONLY asset that beat inflation over the last 4 years, plus generated wealth for it's loyal holders.
The secret formula is simple, yet will require your time and patience Australia:

DM us if you ever need help. Australian Bitcoin adoption is the focus and a positive experience is incredibly important.
Lets compare the terms:
Top chart is the Australian M2 money supply during Trump and Bidens campaign.
What we do know is the first two years of both terms were rapid printing.
Why? Because new visions, new bills, new initiatives they'd like to fund.
What we also know is the first two years of Covid expanded ALL of the existing Australian money by 74%...
74% of 200 odd years of Australia was printed in just 2 years.
What's different this time?
Trump is talking about Cryptocurrencies (even though he shitcoins) , the landscape for Bitcoin is positive.
In his first term, he shit canned Bitcoin and it moved 5,789% in that 2 years.
The most interesting part is the Bitcoin halving supply / demand takes effect generally 120 - 200 days AFTER the halving date as miners recallobrate mining costs etc and it just so happens the Bitcoin mining lag aligns with NEW presidential inaugurations.
What else is different?
1⃣ ETFs are now in the scene worth $ billions
2⃣ Microstrategy is now in the scene holding 450,000 BTC
3⃣ Over 50 corporate companies now hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets and growing.
4⃣ Nation states like El Salvador, Bhutan, US, China, Ukraine holding Bitcoin or exploring the reserves.
5⃣ Market cap above $2 trillion now opens huge liqudity rails for corporations and institutions. What do I mean by this?
5 years ago, an institution couldn't move $2 billion of bitcoin without moving the price dramatically.
Today, $2 billion can be moved for under $10 bucks on the time chain with small fluctations in price.
The more Bitcoin grows, the stronger the capital.
This is the new Bitcoin era. Buckle up 
In 16 years your kids will ask you why you didn't buy any Bitcoin.
"Mum n Dad, you had the chance to buy real estate in the 1980s, why didn't you?" I asked this question throughout my teenage years.
Mum n Dads response was so lame and simple "We didn't know property would go up as it did".
Your answer will need to be extremely thoughtout because the picture below happened in just 4 years.
In the next 16 years, we witness a further four Bitcoin halvings where newly minted Bitcoin supply would have fallen by more than 93.75% compared to todays reward.
Today, 3.125 Bitcoin enters the market every 10 minutes or 164,250 Bitcoin per annum.
16 years from today, this number reduces to 0.1953 Bitcoin per 10 minutes, or just 10,265 Bitcoin per annum.
Imagine knowing you had a chance to buy a beach front property in Bondi, in 2008.
Don't say you didn't know. The proof has been in the Bitcoin for years.
Australian M1 money supply has broken it's all time high inflating at alarming rates post Covid, decaying most of Australian's wealth.
There was only one asset class that beat the rate of inflation over these years.
The Reserve Bank of Australia commenced operations on the 14th of January 1960.
From 1960 to 1975, Australia held approximately $8.269 billion AUD in money reserves (M1) as it broke away from the British pound in 1966.
Australians embarked on a new currency journey with their native Australian Dollar.
From 1975 to 1990, the Australian money supply had increased to $43.51bil, or 419.74%, an average of $2.3 billion, or 7.7% per annum, reflects the consequence of adopting an unbacked currency. This flexibility allows for significant adjustments.
From 1990 to 2016, Australia printed $700 billion dollars, marking a 1,644% increase over 26 years, or an average inflation rate of 7.17% annually.
(To real estate owners: your property may have increased over time, but only at the rate of inflation. Here is the evidence. If property doubles in value every 10 years, so does the money supply).
From 2016 to 2024, the entire M1 supply doubled to $1.67 trillion. It took 40 years to reach $700 billion, but only 5 years to double it and then some, increasing by 2.3 times.
74% of all NEW Australian money was printed since March 2020.
Bitcoin has been the only asset class to not only beat, but perform at multples of this obsurd money value diltuions. From 2016 to 2025, Bitcoin's price is up 14,613%, or an average gain 74.12% every year.
The previous post on real estate has plenty responding "yea what about the leverage of real estate?"
Here is my real use case. I owned an investment property in Footscray from 2016 to 2024.
My deposit was $150,000, and purchase $690,000.
Stamp duty = $32,000, so owned us $722,000.
Sold in 2024 for $830,000. (Agent commission was $14,000. These slugs are the only ones making money in real estate for doing fuck all. House sold before they touched it.)
In those years, the maintenance, the agent fees, interest, rental loss, commission to agent etc even after the rental income, we walked away with $30,000 profit.
$150k levered to gain $30,000 or 20% in 8 years.
Factor inflation and we lost money.
In 2016, 10x less capital with 0 leverage of $15,000 buys you 6.25 Bitcoin today worth almost $1mil.
The full deposit buys you 93 Bitcoin, today worth $14 million or 14 Australian properties with 0 debt.
The case is over for the property ponzi scheme.
Your numbers on a calculator are one thing. I live and breathed as a landlord for 8 years. Wasn't paid rent. Tents fucked the home. Tax and rates every year.

Very interesting Australia. Who's accountable ?
NBN Australia
Initial Budget: $29 billion
Final Cost: $51 billion
Nuclear Submarine Program (AUKUS)
Initial Estimate: $50 billion (for the now-canceled French submarine deal)
Revised Estimate: Up to $368 billion by 2055 for the nuclear-powered submarines under AUKUS
Snowy Hydro 2.0
Initial Budget: $2 billion
Revised Cost: Over $12 billion
WestConnex (Sydney Motorway Project)
Initial Estimate: $10 billion
Final Cost: Approximately $17 billion
Queensland's Cross River Rail
Initial Budget: $5.4 billion
Revised Estimate: Over $13 billion
NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)
Initial Estimate: $8 billion per year at maturity (as per early projections)
Current Cost: Projected to reach $61 billion per year by 2027, with some estimates suggesting costs could exceed $125 billion annually by 2034
$125 billion is 7.18% of ALL AUSTRALIAN M1 MONEY SUPPLY since the birth of modern Australia over 150 years.
Average Australian home values officially up 102% (doubled price) from 2012 to 2024 as of Q3.
12 years to double.
🚨Earth to propery holders🌎 Alert!
The M3 (includes all cash and mortgages) money supply in Australia is up 108.7% in the same period.
You are infact poorer by 5.98%.
And what's worse is you paid holding costs, management fees, leasing fees, rental loss, insurances, and compulsory safety checks every single year if it's an investment property.
Bitcoin is up 60,000% in the same period.
If you had just $2,000 in Bitcoin for the same period, you would have $1.2mil aud or a fully furnished house in Australia with change.
Because when it clicks, it clicks.
Once studying Bitcoin, the future can't be unseen.
No Bitcoiners have un-Bitcoin. Adoption can only go up.
The only way a person would un-Bitcoin, is possibly due to a bad experience in loss, forgotten wallet, hack, misplace seed phrase. All of these issues are preventable.
Here are some people that can help you:

@lungdoge
@_k3tan
Find a Bitcoin community near you. They are in every Australian state.
🚨ALERT: Just incase you asked your financial planner how to invest and they pointed you to investment property in Australia.
Print money = Housing Inflation
Minus the costs:
Stamp Duty
Council Rates
Land Tax
Maintenance
Agent Fees
Leasing Fees
Safety Electric and Gas testing
Loss of rent
Home / Rental Insurance
Mortgage fees
Mortgage interest
Financial planner commission
News flash, your going backwards.
Bitcoin or stay poor
Australia, how behind are we?
We are a top energy commodity producer.
Top 2 in the world for Coal
Top 3 in the world for Natural Gas
Top 3 in the work for Uranium
Top 3 in the world for Hydrogen
One of the hottest deserts for solar
With just 1% of all our energy produced from the top 5 projects of each category above, we would produce 12.7% of the global hashrate...
JUST 1% OF OUR PRODUCTION FROM 20 PROJECTS ACROSS COAL, NAT GAS, URANIUM, HYDROGEN WOULD PRODUCE 12.7%!!!
125 taxes in Australia
The only tax that affects Bitcoin is Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
There is no CGT on the Australian dollar.
The right policies should be written to exempt CGT on Bitcoin.
Unlike the "Australian Dream" of investment properties, these investments have multiple taxes including stamp duty, land tax, council rates.
In Victoria, new tax policies have seen investment properties become the worst assets to hold due to a new Covid relief plan where the state government would increase the tax by almost 300% if you own a second property, and even higher if you hold a block of land with no dwelling for more than 2 years.
Opt out of this bullshit. They will continue to attack assets in Australia to pay down the horribly run and over budget projects / initiatives.
