Buying a house is called investment, buying Bitcoin is called gambling. '' This picture may make many people uncomfortable. Assuming there are two people in 2011 with the same starting capital and monthly budget: A chooses to buy a house B chooses to rent a house and continues to invest the difference between the first installment and the monthly savings in Bitcoin 15 years later: Buying a house: net worth approximately $460428 Rental+Bitcoin: Approximately $292800000 The difference is not two or ten times. But more than 600 times. The most ironic thing is—— When you borrow $200000 from the bank to buy a house, people say you are "mature, responsible, and know how to accumulate assets". But when you use your own money to buy one: Assets with a total limit of 21 million pieces, which cannot be freely issued and are globally circulated, Many people tell you: This is gambling Of course, this image has a super important premise: It started investing 100% in Bitcoin in 2011 and has withstood all post crash backtesting levels of -70% and -80% along the way. So it cannot prove that it will repeat itself in the next 15 years. But what it really wants to tell you is not: Don't buy a house But rather: Don't automatically assume that an asset is low-risk just because it is defined as' traditional 'by society; Don't assume that an asset has no long-term value just because it fluctuates greatly. One of the biggest risks in the past 15 years, Maybe it's not that Bitcoin fluctuates too much. But you have never held it. ₿
