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
you nailed it man, in addition to that theres been a huge debt in real estate and inflation everywhere, its a bubble that is nearly to pop, just like in australia nowthey have real estate crisis and in some places where people strugling to meet their end paying high amount of mortgage, not a practical way to invest in.
