So let me ask a question. When you buy a home with all your life savings, does it become yours? What makes it differ from the soviets? I mean, obviously they recorded your rights to the building on paper, and now they record it in digital databases. But is it REALLY that different? You don't truly own either. It's all the government's promise to let you access it and keep away whomever should not access it, until they don't.

The only thing you truly own is bitcoin. The rest are promises.

Communism is stricter regarding land regulations, as all land is controlled by the state. This contrasts with capitalism, where individuals can fully own land.
In my country, which adopts many capitalist principles, when you purchase land, it becomes entirely yours. You can build on it, cultivate it, or use it however you like, provided you fulfill obligations such as paying taxes and complying with spatial planning regulations. This is why many people here have long invested in large tracts of land, particularly in city centers, since urban land values tend to rise over time and can provide substantial returns in the future.

While it's true that Bitcoin gives you complete control over your assets, and no one can take them away from you, but it's also your responsibility to protect them to prevent theft or loss due to your own negligence.
