For me it is not about what is better between real estate and bitcoin because it is about if we are being profitable in the certain investment that we are currently doing, why keep debating on what's better if you can make investment in both bitcoin and real estate? Both of them are one of the best financial instruments in order to achieve financial freedom. I have bitcoins but I doesn't have enough buying power for me to purchase real estate and for me it is really good to have piece of land because its value it keep increasing over the period of time. When it comes to volatility, the bitcoin for sure is more volatile so it is the reason why I first make investment to it than in real estate.
Real state is by far to slow to reach financial freedom in most cases. You need quite a significant seed, maturation times are in the range of several years and a downturn may catch you at any time with too much leverage eating up the profits of many years of hard work and investment. Bitcoin is more easy going, but is also only for people who understand that the ride is not going to be smooth and that there will be lots of volatility which in real state also exists, but is not as evident.
