Real Estate Just Got a Lot Cheaper. Happy 100K! 💯

Over two years ago, I wrote an article on bitcoin's potential as pristine collateral for lending. Today, BTC is widely accepted as such within the Bitcoin community and is increasingly recognized by TradFi. The journey ahead, especially the unfolding of bitcoin's role as collateral in loans, promises to be incredibly exciting.

Why Bitcoin Is Pristine Collateral For Lending

Bitcoin’s attributes will lead to its inevitable usage as collateral for lending, mainly due to its superiority over real estate’s properties.

U.S. real estate prices closely track the growth of the monetary supply (M2). As new currency units enter the market, people need to invest in order to protect their buying power. #RealEstate with its scarcity and attractive financing options, became the preferred investment. Banks create new money as credit for mortgages, channeling it into RE and inflating its nominal value. Its rise in nominal value largely mirrors the debasement of fiat currency, emphasizing #realestate‘s role as a store of value and its substantial monetary premium. Bitcoin, as a superior store of value, will absorb a significant portion of the monetary premium accumulated by real estate and serve as a more accessible store of value by default.

This was one of the most fun articles to write recently.

From my perspective, it no longer makes sense to initiate a real estate development project or start a company without first allocating capital to bitcoin, using it as a treasury asset and foundation for the business. Owning bitcoin allows any company, particularly in the debt-intensive #realestate industry, to build a novel capital base through the long-term appreciation of bitcoin’s purchasing power. This not only strengthens the company’s financial position but also improves its ability to obtain credit, as bitcoin serves as pristine collateral that can be leveraged to finance maintenance, further construction, or other development projects.

Many normies are asking me why bitcoin is preferable to an ETF. I wrote a piece on this last year, feel free to share it with your normie friends, it might help them too!

Owning bitcoin enables any company, especially in the debt-intensive #realestate industry, to build a novel capital base through the long-term appreciation of bitcoin's purchasing power. This not only strengthens the company’s financial position but also improves its ability to obtain credit, as bitcoin serves as pristine collateral that can be leveraged to finance maintenance, further construction, or other development projects.

The investment worlds of #realestate and Bitcoin will merge more and more. Until the speculation that today takes place in real estate largely migrates to bitcoin and real estate falls back to its utility value. Some ideas and products will be better than others, but the journey there will be incredibly exciting. 💫

GM 🌞 No matter how high we go, you don't have to sell your corn to spend fiat, just wait for the right multi-sig setup so you can borrow fiat against BTC. 😎

The integration of bitcoin as collateral into credit products will fundamentally change the global financial system and will be one of the driving forces behind the coming price increases. 🚀 I see significant benefits, particularly for real estate. Stay tuned for more detailed takes on this next week!

Once bitcoin is fully monetized and becomes the world’s reserve currency, its value would represent global productivity, acting as a global index of productivity. Bitcoin’s change in value would be related to the world's economic output, with its purchasing power adjusting to the economic climate. The price will rise with expected productivity gains and fall in line with expected losses, such as after natural disasters. This transformation will take a long time, possibly decades or even a century, to fully materialize. But it will happen!

In the 26th edition of my newsletter, I explore the history and mechanisms that enable Bitcoin and Nostr to act as catalysts for innovation and human progress. I would like to thank @UNCLE ROCKSTAR for the inspiring discussions and encouraging words. What began as a conversation before my trip to Nostrica led to months of introspection and ultimately this article. I would also like to thank @gsovereignty for his work with Nostrocket and our exchange of ideas that led to the publication of this piece! I look forward to exploring and understanding the possibilities of Nostr deeper as I continue my journey.

I'm currently in the process of writing the third and final chapter of my book "Digital Real Estate". In Chapter 3, I will examine how a hypothetical Bitcoin standard would change #lending practices: Under a Bitcoin standard, debt denominated in bitcoin would increase in value over time due to bitcoin's disinflationary nature and limited supply. This requires careful consideration of the amount of debt one is willing to incur. While a Keynesian would argue that such a system could harm short-term productivity by discouraging borrowing, this view overlooks a crucial long-term benefit: A Bitcoin standard encourages more responsible economic behavior by compelling individuals and businesses to carefully evaluate their financial decisions. This shift addresses a significant issue in the current fiat system, where individuals and institutions are often incentivized to take on excessive risk and accumulate unnecessary debt, while savers are penalized as the money supply increases and purchasing power of savings decreases. By fostering accountability and prudent decision-making, a Bitcoin standard can lead to a more stable and disciplined economic environment. #DigitalRealEstate
