Bitcoin could make housing affordable again

In many parts of the world, housing has become extremely expensive. Not just because of supply constraints, but because homes have been turned into a place to store wealth. When money loses purchasing power, people look for alternatives. Real estate became one of the main ones. That brought in demand that has nothing to do with actually living in the homes. So prices are no longer just about shelter. They reflect global capital looking for a safe place. Bitcoin changes that dynamic. It offers a scarce, liquid, low-maintenance store of value that doesn’t require owning physical property. If even part of the monetary demand moves from housing into Bitcoin, that removes pressure from the housing market. Less investment demand means prices can move closer to what people can actually afford based on use. Houses return to their original purpose. A place to live, not a financial strategy. Curious what people here think about this shift. submitted by /u/Myntad_com [link] [comments]
