Many people's lifelong savings ultimately turn into a pile of bricks. The crazy speculation in the real estate market is so straightforward—when prices soar, everyone wants to get in; but once it crashes, the wake-up call is that the money is gone, and the debt remains.

There's a fatal logical flaw here: if the house isn't sold, the paper appreciation is just an illusion. Without someone to take over, it's just a physical building, always a negative asset. Many people haven't realized this yet.

In contrast, assets like BTC with liquidity and global consensus have completely different risk exposure in market cycles. As fewer traditional asset buyers step in, assets with a solid consensus foundation become options for risk hedging. This is also why the US is discussing the possibility of BTC as a national strategic reserve.

Paper wealth is really quite illusory; houses have increased tenfold but still can't be sold A house is just a front to work for the bank BTC can at least be traded on exchanges at any time, what about houses? Will you regret it after the housing market crashes? Wake up, the last chives are the bagholders Real consensus vs. superficial prosperity, the choice is very clear

Honestly, the housing market is really a trap—whoever takes over the next will be the one to lose. BTC liquidity is really strong, unlike houses which are dead assets in your hands. The US is already stockpiling coins, and we're still buying houses? Paper wealth is meaningless; it only counts if you can exchange it for cash. The bagholders are almost gone; it's time to wake up.

ngl, the liquidity thesis here is... let's say it conveniently sidesteps some non-trivial path dependency issues. real estate's illiquidity problem is genuine tho, that part tracks. but framing btc as the sovereign hedge play feels like we're maybe conflating consensus with stability? historical precedent suggests otherwise, tbh...

Unsold houses are just paper tigers. That's so true; Bitcoin's liquidity is indeed different.

The house is unfinished, and I still have to pay the mortgage. This logic is really incredible.

Houses that can't be sold are just waste paper. No one really wants to understand this. Not all consensus can be realized; the true believers are the real deal. Bitcoin can't hedge against anything; it still depends on the cycle and market sentiment. Saving your entire life to build bricks—this meme is just too heartbreaking. Liquidity sounds good, but in reality, it's still gambling—just dressed up as something else. Foundation of consensus? Basically, it's just faith recharge—no difference. Real estate isn't a cryptocurrency; at least you can live in it. What about your coins? Both houses and coins are just a game of taking over; stop hyping them up.
