Housing Is A Scam, and You’ve Been Played

Embracing Discomfort.

Let’s face it: buying a house isn’t the golden ticket it’s cracked up to be. Housing isn’t an invetment – it’s more like signing up to be a cash-hungry leech, sucking the life out of renters or bleeding yourself dry with maintenance costs, endless fees, and, oh yeah, the bank still owns most of it anyway.

Think about it – you’re obsessed with the idea of “owning” a home, but who really owns it? The bank. You’re paying them interest for the privilege of “owning” what’s essentially their asset until you finish paying it off, and even then, the government swoops in with taxes just to remind you who’s really boss. Meanwhile, Bitcoin just sits there, appreciating faster than any housing market could dream of and without the constant, soul-sucking upkeep.

The Greed Game

Here’s the dirty truth: the moment housing became an “investment,” it stopped being about shelter. It’s become a speculative asset, making people greedy as hell, jacking up prices, and turning essential human needs into money-making machines. You’re sitting there hoping your house appreciates so you can cash out, but in the meantime, you’re trapped in a system that’s rigged to make your costs rise faster than your returns.

Leaky roofs? Cracked pipes? No thanks. Bitcoin doesn’t demand you fix the gutters or replace the boiler…
