Why Bitcoin Is Much Better Than Real Estate

Join my private Bitcoin forum and get the course:

In this video, I discuss why I believe that Bitcoin is a much better investment than real estate.

Unlike real estate, Bitcoin is:

-- Portable
-- Seizure-resistant
-- Without ongoing property taxes, insurance, or maintenance costs

In short, Bitcoin does not leak "economic energy," while real estate certainly does.

In addition, the Bitcoin network enforces your property rights when you own Bitcoin.

When you own real estate, you need to trust your government, police, judicial system, and military to respect and protect your property rights.

When a regime turns sour, Bitcoin provides a way for people to exit and opt out by moving to a more friendly jurisdiction.

Owning Bitcoin is like having a bank account in cyberspace that no one can censor, confiscate, or devalue.

Michael Saylor talks about this; Bitcoin is little to no maintenance, real estate is the worse, everything breaks all the time, taxes, regulations, limitation, tenants who won't pay, screw that, I choose Bitcoin!!

[AndrewKangas]

Nice video.

The argument would be stronger if you accounted for the ease of leveraging real estate. Hardly any real estate investor uses $1m cash to buy a $1m house. They use much less cash and then the bank loans the rest. Then they put in renters to service the debt.

Banks don't loan for BTC at the rates they do for real estate.

This should be included if you're going to compare the two assets.

Great explanation. Another important factor why real estate is worse than bitcoin as an investment tool. When investors buy up real estate, it becomes more and more inaccessible to ordinary people as a basic need - a shelter, both physically (few people can afford real estate in the city center: ex. Manhattan) and financially (bubbles, mortgages-growing debt burden). Investing in bitcoin makes all the owners of the bitcoin network richer and the growth in the price of bitcoin does not affect the cost of basic human needs (food, water, energy, shelter ..).

GREAT TO SEE YOU MATHEW, GOOD MORNING 🌄

[BlueOwl.]

Perfect time thank you. Currently considering getting rental property

[gaeldesmontagnesnoires]

Feels like i'll be renting my entire life ..

[novqrmt]

I’ve had 2 rental properties for years now. I’m seriously thinking about liquidating all of it and buying BTC instead.

[Meek_Marvin_]

Congratulations Matt
Nice to see you again

[Harrybowles]

I sold my house and bought bitcoin. This makes me feel a little better

[BTCforce]

Love Pacific Heights!!! is the reason I own REITS vs actual rental property

[directx]

I wish more people would listen to you and stop hoarding houses so prices would come down a bit

[Tee-qp]

Agree with what you said Matt but one advantage of real estate over Bitcoin is the positive cash flow in form of rent or dividend yield from holding REIT. This is compensated by the fact that BTC has better capital appreciation and no management and counter party risks so I'm still a Bitcoiner

[RyanVoelkel]

Yep there’s no doubt about it!
Bitcoin > Real Estate. I’ve got a portfolio of real estate that I’ll be selling in the next year or two when interest rates come back down and real estate market is got again. Proceeds going into Bitcoin

[drewwood]

I sweep the cash flow from my 40 units into bitcoin. During the recent dip real estate produced more bitcoin for me and my family while maintaining an income for bills which bitcoin cannot do unless you sell it.

When I speak to my property investing friends they dont actually understand the basic premise of why they are investing in property as opposed to other assets. They dont think about property as hard to inflate vs fiat, stocks, Gold. They just do that because thats how they see rich people got rich previously so they do that. So when I try to explain scarcity to them they dont quite see the reason why that is useful.

Hey how good is Foundation Passport hardware wallet?
It's btc only

[ranchocucamongaglassvideos]

Great advice! I, too, got out of real estate and am glad I did.

[Pravin_Yeshua_BTC]

I would not ever want to rent out my home. I will always choose to sell it when moving & funnel that money in bitcoin.

Could you do a video on the Jade? I have it, but I’m having a hard time viewing my balance when I don’t have the Jade plugged in”.. I was told to create a 2nd wallet view only” but that one just sits under the first on main screen with 0 bitcoin. I suppose it’s under the seed phrase of the first one because it didn’t prompt me to write down any new words.
Send help 🙃

Great video! Does anything change with your thesis if you rent your property and tenants pay rent in Bitcoin?
