One should check in individual case, what is better. I guess, that because the mortgage is available for both someone who already has enough money to buy and the one who doesn't, it is in general less efficient for the first group of people. Banks have to exploit the second group of people somehow, so conditions should be worse in general. But everyone should check themselves, because it may vary from country to country and from person to person :)

You can buy a house, then take a loan against it and buy BTC with that money. Then you still have the BTC whatever happens with the house, the bank, and the country 😁

I did similar calculation years ago. The only concern was and still is (but in lesser degree) is about when this happens and if I see that future...

The first answer depends on the second question :)

I would listen to such a book, iff the audio version comes with good description of the charts or they can be downloaded separately and the narrator tells "please take a look at chart 10", so I can pause, find it quickly in PDF reader, take a look and continue listening.

BIP 34 explained:

Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 34 (BIP34), proposed by Gavin Andresen and Peter Wuille, aimed to address a fundamental issue with the Bitcoin protocol's block versioning system.

Before BIP34 was introduced, there was a concern that the original design of the Bitcoin block versioning system didn't allow an upgrade procedure that could be followed by the entire network. Specifically, blocks didn't have a way to signal the version of the rules they were following, which could lead to problems when a portion of the network upgraded to a new version of the rules while others hadn't. This could potentially lead to network forks and various issues with transaction validation.

BIP34 introduced a new mechanism that included the block height in the coinbase transaction, which is the first transaction in a block. This provided a way for the Bitcoin network to enforce that blocks have a certain version number once a certain block height is reached. This effectively acted as a version signaling mechanism, allowing all nodes on the network to know when a certain percentage of blocks had upgraded to a new version of the rules. Once a certain percentage (usually 95%) of recent blocks signal the new version, all nodes start enforcing the new rules.

In the process, BIP34 also solved another potential issue. Before this proposal, it was possible (though highly unlikely) that two miners could independently solve a block at the same time without knowing about the other's block. This could lead to duplicate coinbase transactions, which have the same transaction id (txid). By including the block height in the coinbase transaction, every block on the blockchain is guaranteed to have a unique coinbase transaction, thus eliminating the possibility of two coinbase transactions having the same txid.

In summary, BIP34 improved the Bitcoin protocol by providing a robust mechanism for rule version upgrades and ensuring that every coinbase transaction is unique.

If two miners solve the block at the same time, then the two blocks will have the same block height. Can you elaborate on the second paragraph, please?

Думаю, что важнее паттерны поведения между отцом и матерью, которые ребёнок видел в детстве. Именно они и асоциируются у него или у неё в голове с любовью. И дай бог, чтобы это были хорошие паттерны! Иначе человек будет кайфовать в токсичных отношениях и скучать в нормальных.

Sure. Forcing into a contract is not a good thing in any case. But in this case you might want to buy an insurance, because the car is very expensive and you don't want to pay a lot more of something happens.
