Think about how artificial a 50-year mortgage is. It's 5-7% for some amount that's at least 6-figures where the term is unknown due to possible repayment at any time. Would you take the other side of the trade? Would anyone? The term is too unpredictable, the amount too much and the interest rate not nearly enough for all the risk. Yet these happen all day long because they're not loans created from savings, but loans created from nothing. 50-year mortgages are an abomination. But so are all other mortgages that come from nothing.

You're correct. At a certain point, it becomes ridiculous and non-senisical for the loan issuer and the borrowers alike. However, if we continue down the road of ridiculousness, the loan could start to make sense for the borrower. That's why I keep saying I'd like a 200, 300, 500, or 1,000-year loan. Even though I would end up paying sooooooo much interest over the life of the loan, my monthly payment would drop drastically, and I'm confident the loan company, the US dollar, the US government, and possibly even the human race will cease to exist by the loan maturation date. #WINNING

"Yet these happen all day long because they're not loans created from savings, but loans created from nothing." It's easy to loan money when there's zero risk to the lender nostr:nevent1qqsfdjqgu4ms844pykunvg2fc9xm0wupzfvevqp9xuh5gdrycqvfepszypan77qrw5r5daz4gyazy8uqje0wed577vy096k3m2yuctyfzt5ksqcyqqqqqqg5hvdw4

It's about the quiet chaos beneath them... Imagine staking your life's dreams on a deal with no timeline, "sky-high stakes" and value made of smoke, everyday, millions gambling their futures in this invisible web, this isn't finance, silently it's rewriting of what REAL FREEDOM is."

I couldn't agree more!! 🤝 Was even thinking that even an 18 year old takes out one of these, they will be done when they are 68! Now we know that there is no one in their right mind giving an 18 year old a mortgage, however the long term play is for your kids to be able to inherit these debts so that they become multigenerational debts. Instead of receiving an inheritance, you will be stuck with debts! Almost similar to the days of slavery where if a slave had kids, they automatically became the property of Massa. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq7el0qph2p6x7325zw3zr7qfvhhvk600xz8jatga4zwv9jy396tgqythwumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsqgykeqyw2acr66sjtwfky9yuzndhhwq3ykvkqqjnwt6yx3jvqxyuscjtp032

The actual average duration of a home loan is 11.8 years, which is the length of time most people own a home before selling it and settling the loan. So would I take the 50 year mortgage? Yes, as a bank I would for the sake of cash flow. The term of the loan doesn't reduce my odds of getting my money back, plus the property is still the collateral.

this is absolutely correct, and yet these will get soaked up by the 'market' because they will be subsidized - directly through deficit spend and indirectly through regulatory incentive. such is the fiat ponzi

If you take a 50 year mortgage and use the extra funds to buy BITCOIN, wouldn’t you be doing same thing as Michael Saylor ? Just a question explain to me like a middle schooler.
