🚨 Bitcoin’s Real Estate Takeover 🚨 Flood or Fortress?!? | Hashpower Academy

Video Transcript:

is Bitcoin going to flood into real estate in a financialized context of mortgages and collateral or are real estate investors and real estate investment trusts going to flood into Bitcoin selling everything and dumping the market or is it going to be a combination of the two a chaotic storm on the horizon with the debt money system of yesterday and the Bitcoin hard deflationary digital energy money of tomorrow This is going to be the topic of today’s video But first let’s reintroduce myself Hello there Welcome to the Hash Power Academy My name is Jake Scandlin I’m the lead educator here at the academy And this is a place for you to learn anything and everything about Bitcoin but also its underlying network of technologies and commodities We teach from a fundamentals first perspective delving into everything to do with energy Then compute Bitcoin mining which produces all the Bitcoin blocks of the blockchain which issues and distributes that full supply of 21 million fixed units of Bitcoin So the first place to start with this is I’m going to just show you the uh the average house price versus the average salary And I’ve used the UK as an example And as you can clearly see that year over year since uh 1970s particularly that’s an interesting uh moment in time to understand that our debt money well it was disconnected from gold so to speak and uh since that point the average ratio between the average salary per year versus the average house price went from four years to 5 years to 6 years to seven years you can get where I’m going with this to eight years Now what does that mean it means it takes more time for young people for example they have a housing crisis to afford property And those with the property they did well They escaped inflation The expansion of the money supply very much correlates with house prices And with a debt money system that has heavily financialized real estate and mortgages essentially are well if you have a 5% deposit on a house which is the 100% you’re 20x leveraged The price of the house can drop 5% and then you’re in trouble And uh that sort of uh that sort of situation happened in a particular moment of time such as 2008 where uh the bankers uh may have uh ruined a few things and uh the citizens paid for it That sounds great And uh basically these are all the issues of the debt money system But what we also want to understand is what a hard deflationary energybased currency of tomorrow will contribute to this For example the debt money system creates a circumstance where asset prices have to go up because as mentioned if uh the prices drop then people essentially default on their mortgages and that is a very serious societal problem And so the easy solution is to paper over the issues Now when it comes to this sort of asset inflation well where does it end um because you’ve got this tipping point of wealthy people with lots of properties in in an investment portfolio context where one house is a necessity You want to live somewhere Everyone does want to live somewhere And on the other side of that you’ve got young people and the concern of regulators Why are all these young people taking risk high risk with things like Bitcoin well it’s because they see the very same assets that their parents and grandparents purchased Oh I got my house in my 20ies with a couple of pay packets It’s like uh yeah we need to what save for an entire decade And by the time we’ve saved for a decade um the cost of the house is now 15 years for a deposit Uh yeah that’s the problem And so what we need to do is wipe the slate slate clean and understand some of the tipping points with a form of hard deflationary energy money that is entering uh well just about every part of the financial world and every part of the energy sector Bitcoin is on and off every electrical grid across the planet expanding energy and compute in a fixed supply of 21 million units So continual increase in purchasing power And so if we give this a real estate context let’s say right now that it’s about four four bitcoin for one property where do you think the tipping point will be where do you think that that that mindset of okay I’ve got all these properties and on a bitcoin unit of account they are continually declining That the value of a house um in a quantity of bitcoin continually decreases For example there are people that they had hundreds or thousands of Bitcoin early early on and still made in dollar terms millions of dollars for it And so they sold some they sold hundred or a thousand Bitcoin to buy a house And years later they may have sold it but uh they didn’t get 100 or,000 Bitcoin back They got like four And uh it makes you think oh well uh I should have just kept all my thousands of Bitcoin But I think over time we’re going to have this continual rollover of people uh in society investing on spending their Bitcoin on their necessities versus their wants Why own a portfolio of five homes um when you live in one and four others are essentially land banking and that’s what the fiat money system has created in society is um people trying to escape inflation by holding assets assets that other people may want to use as a necessity versus an investment And if uh you own a bunch of multif family homes um there’s an ethical concern there that there’s other people that want that ownership psychology of owning their own place And if there’s an artificial scarcity of properties all being owned by a select few that can create societal problems I’m not saying it’s necessarily bad because if you have the capital to buy it it’s yours That’s that’s our that’s our ownership structure in society And they say possession is 9/10en of the law So I believe that the key tipping point is when the average house price is under one bitcoin I just think uh there’s there’s people that have a quantity psychology that say “Oh Bitcoin’s too expensive I can’t buy a whole one.” You can buy fractional It goes down to eight decimals of of the quantity that you can purchase But I believe that tipping point that when one bitcoin is uh the average house price is less than one bitcoin I think that’s going to open the eyes of a lot of investors And does that create some form of selling event not today not tomorrow but progressively over time where house prices continually drop because there is this flood of other markets and other investments being sold to go into Bitcoin And so if we give this the examples of today right now I think in pounds it’s about 200 to 300,000 uh per house average house price And in dollars that’s like 400 to 500k 500k So yeah if Bitcoin reaches these sorts of levels in dollar terms and we see that tipping point of the average house price at a particular moment in time crossing below the average uh stat statistics published by the government shall we say that the average house price is now less than one whole bitcoin that has to that has to um make someone’s eyes open and it would be a serious tipping event But the other side of that is if there’s other people with mortgages that are leveraged you know if your whatever whatever your debt is versus the value of the house if the value of the houses continually drop to their utility value which is essentially what’s probably going to happen if there’s this flood towards Bitcoin is the debt money system collapses prices back down to their utility value And the utility value of a house is not the current price of the houses at the moment And so that’s a concern So how do we address that concern while still having a debt money system well this is where it gets interesting because right now there’s all different people trying to financialize Bitcoin in the context of real estate So not just uh this flood of money coming from real estate and selling houses into Bitcoin but how Bitcoin could be part of people’s mortgages So that your collateral position is essentially whatever your debt is Whatever your debt is let’s just do a negative there You’ve got maybe this potential Let’s I don’t know what the debt will be Let’s just say 80% you’ve paid off some of it And the value of your house starts at the value of your house starts at um let’s just do a little picture The value of your house starts at the 100% in reference to the 80% you’ve paid off Um but what if house prices drop 20% you’re in serious problems Yes you’re continually paying this off with interest but what if what if a small chunk of Bitcoin was added that’s the that’s the interesting thing because we’re we’re we’re comparing this tipping event where the the the price of Bitcoin in dollar terms because we have to do a dollar-based unit of account with this If the dollar price of Bitcoin is shooting up because there is this flood of money coming uh out of real estate into Bitcoin and demonetizing these sorts of assets one of the healthiest things for individuals to protect themselves uh from the risk of the the collapse of the debt money system in the context of uh investors flooding out of an asset class If you are in that asset class with some form of debt associated to those assets then Bitcoin might just be that hedge essentially against the the the decline of asset of house prices So if house prices dropped uh I’m just going to draw it all out now If house prices dropped but the Bitcoin and your collateral increased it’s essentially a hedge against uh the deflationary uh environment that you’re in that you’ve got this hard hard asset and that that just might help Um real estate isn’t exactly my specialty but I’d love people to dive into the comments with these sorts of perspectives But yeah having having collateral that is a portfolio essentially of different things that just might make the difference Um but what’s the pristine collateral it’s Bitcoin It has its volatility in dollar terms as well So any form of debt that you would have you’d be measuring the dollar value of the Bitcoin which is volatile in space but preserves value over time But I think I think mortgages with Bitcoin are probably one of the best things that could be done and potentially it lowers interest rates as well as it represents itself um in a lower you’re adding collateral versus your debt So you should effectively have um lower risk premiums But we will see I think I’m going to stop it there But yeah I’m very interested to see multiple different assets um drop below one whole Bitcoin Assets of all different size and scale Uh there’s also the one of the market cap of when it outpaces gold and all the other top 10 um assets uh in ranking Yeah Thank you for listening Hope you enjoy Uh go into the comments if there’s anything I’ve missed or not said correctly Please correct me because we’re all trying to learn here So yeah thank you for listening Hope you enjoy Goodbye
