Real Estate’s Done, Landlords—Bitcoin’s the New King of Wealth

Real Estate’s Done, Landlords—Bitcoin’s the New King of Wealth

Posted on March 18, 2025 by me.

Hey BiggerPockets crew, ready to hate me more? Good—because I’m here to drop a Bitcoin-sized wrecking ball on your sacred cow: real estate investing. Residential real estate, that piggy bank you’ve been smashing to get rich? It’s toast. Bitcoin’s here to flip the script, and it’s time to wake up. Let’s unpack why hoarding homes is losing its shine—and why stacking sats might just be the moral, and smarter, play. Buckle up.

Real Estate Investing Wasn’t Always “A Thing”

Think buying up homes to rent or flip has been the golden ticket forever? Nope. It’s a modern hustle, turbocharged by cheap debt and inflation since the 1970s. Before that, homes were for living, not leveraged ATMs. Now, landlords act like feudal lords, but the game’s shifting. Bitcoin’s capped at 21 million coins—real money, not inflated paper. Real estate? Infinite supply when BlackRock’s buying.

Bitcoin: The Superior Play

Michael Saylor, the MicroStrategy genius who ditched real estate skepticism for Bitcoin billions, calls it “digital gold.” Why? No one’s printing more—21 million, that’s it. Rajat Soni, Bitcoin evangelist, screams “stack sats” because every BTC you buy holds value, not just for you, but for every Bitcoiner. Compare that to snagging your fifth rental property—pricing out families so you can milk rent checks. Bitcoin’s a network that lifts all boats; real estate’s a zero-sum game.

Inflation: The Landlord’s Dirty Secret

Why do you hoard homes? Inflation—that hidden tax from the Fed printing cash like it’s Monopoly money. Since 1913, they’ve diluted dollars, making your savings worthless unless you “invest” in something. Homes became the go-to because they sorta keep up. But here’s the kicker: rent, property taxes, and home insurance? They’ll climb forever. Food’s up 29%, oil 59% in 5 years—your tenants can’t pay if they’re broke. BlackRock’s waiting to scoop it all up when you’re priced out.

The Immorality of Hoarding Homes

Buying Bitcoin helps the ecosystem—every sat stacked strengthens the network. Buying excess homes? It screws people. Families can’t afford roofs because you’re “building wealth.” Bitcoin Ben rants on YouTube: fiat’s the scam, not BTC. British HODL on X says wake up—stop being the bad guy. Landlords drive prices sky-high, then cry when tenants can’t pay. Real estate’s not “investing”—it’s gatekeeping life’s basics.

The Endgame: BlackRock Wins, You Lose

Inflation’s relentless. Taxes, insurance, maintenance—your margins shrink while corpos like BlackRock buy entire neighborhoods. Residential real estate’s a treadmill to nowhere. Bitcoin? Volatile, sure, but its scarcity means it’s antifragile. Jack Mallers built Strike to make BTC spendable—real money, not a landlord’s IOU. Sell your extra homes for BTC? That’s your call—I’m not your advisor. But think about it.

Time to Troll Yourself Awake

You hate me already, BiggerPockets, so let’s lean in. Real estate’s a dinosaur—Bitcoin’s the meteor. Keep flipping McMansions while inflation and BlackRock eat your lunch, or stack sats and join the future. This isn’t financial advice—just a loud “check it out” from your least favorite forum troll. Drop your rage below—I’m ready.
