Real estate is the largest asset class globally, exceeding $400 trillion in value, significantly surpassing the stock market and global GDP. Houses have shifted from mere shelter to valuable inflation-hedging assets. Despite low rental yields, landlords continue to invest due to real estate's reliability as collateral for bank lending. Mortgages have democratized credit, allowing liquidity without ownership loss. In contrast, Bitcoin emerges as a superior form of collateral due to its global recognition, instant transferability, programmability, and security through cryptography, presenting an attractive alternative to traditional real estate collateral.
With nearly $400 trillion in global value, real estate is the world's largest asset class, over three times the size of the global stock market and nearly four times global GDP.
Real estate has evolved from shelter to inflation-hedging assets that carry a significant monetary premium.
In normal market conditions, banks are always happy to lend against real estate, which is why nearly anyone can get a mortgage.
As collateral, Bitcoin outperforms real estate on nearly every metric: it's always available, globally recognized, instantly transferable, programmable, and secured by cryptography rather than legal systems.
