50 year mortgage is insane and retarded. ALSO fiat economy and banking which make it into a potentially good deal are also retarded. Two wrongs don't make a right and usury is a SIN.

Most people think a 50-year mortgage is insane. But when you actually run the numbers, the math tells a very different story. Liquidity + compounding beats faster payoff—and the gap is bigger than you think. Full breakdown here 👇 https://firebtc.substack.com/p/trumps-50-year-mortgage-play

It may be insane and retarded for it to exist, but that doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from it. And apparently a 50 year mortgage is sinful usury, but a 30 year isn’t? So where’s the line then?
30 year is too. The line is at fiat banking and artificial debt contracts. Lending money needs to have real risk associated with it so we can price capital correctly. That's one of the main problems Bitcoin is trying to solve. Nobody is actually lending the money, the contracts are fake, the money is fake, and the interest rates are fake. That's where I draw the line.
