bitcoin is better

many people that get a house via a mortgage can put money in for decades but never actually own the property until the final payment. this means many things
1. if they miss a few payments they lose the house and dont get anything back
2. the interest added means a $200k house is not $200k  but requires handing over more than 200k, and a hope that inflation surpass the interest added
3. other costs get added like home insurance, and other protections. aswell as maintenance costs..

think about it. having a house for 20 years you end up having to replace boilers, update/modernise the kitchen, re-slate the roof. on going lawn maintenance. and also the outside paint/decorating to hide natures ware and tear on the property

bitcoin doesnt have these hidden extra's. once you buy a bit of a coin that bit is yours. no on-going costs.
so any fiat inflation or asset deflation gives your asset(coin) instant profit
