Most people aren’t great real estate investors. They just happened to live through one of the greatest monetary expansions in human history. When central banks keep interest rates near zero and flood the system with liquidity, asset prices rise not because of brilliance, but because cheap money had to go somewhere. Real estate, with its easy access to leverage and favorable tax treatment, became a beneficiary of this fiat-driven wave. But let’s be honest: 🏘️ Rents didn’t explode because landlords got smarter. 📈 Home prices didn’t surge because properties got better. 💰 Returns didn’t compound because of savvy strategy. They were all downstream of one thing: monetary policy. Meanwhile, wage growth? Flat. Productivity gains? Stagnant. Purchasing power? Eroding. So we’re left with a world in which those already exposed to monetary assets (stocks, real estate, collectibles) saw their wealth balloon… while everyone else fell behind. And now? With rates higher and the debt machine creaking under its own weight, the cracks are starting to show. Real estate isn't broken, but it isn’t a free lunch either. It’s a bet on a financial system staying loose and inflation staying “contained.” Bitcoin offers a different path. A system without arbitrary monetary expansion. A store of value not propped up by credit. A fixed supply asset without landlords, tenants, and maintenance costs. Future-proofing your money with Bitcoin allows you to protect and grow the purchasing power of your savings without having to turn everything into an investment.
