Here's a question that keeps people up at night: would you rather lock your capital into a mortgage-free lake house or take that same funds and stack Bitcoin?
On the surface, owning property feels tangible—no counterparty risk, physical asset, the security of real estate. But then there's the Bitcoin argument. Fixed housing supply vs. fixed Bitcoin supply. One's illiquid and immobile; the other can move globally at the speed of the internet.
The lake house generates lifestyle value and potential appreciation over decades. Bitcoin? It's volatile, sure, but we've watched it reshape how billions think about store-of-value narratives. Your capital gets optionality, not just shelter.
Maybe the real question isn't which one wins—it's whether you're comfortable with the tradeoffs. Stability and roots? Or liquidity and exposure to what might reshape global finance.

Haha, don't worry about it. I'm going all-in on Bitcoin. The lakeside villa is reserved for the wealthy.

Data shows that the property appreciation cycle far exceeds the average fluctuation of Bitcoin, but miners are consuming too much, making the entire mechanism unreasonable. Although... let's wait and see the historical lows.

I’ve calculated this before; the annualized return on the house is basically stuck at 3-5%, while Bitcoin's volatility can double at any moment. From a capital efficiency perspective, they are not even in the same league... but the premise is that you can really sell at the high point (question mark).
