Would you rather buy a house to live in or rent an apartment to invest in bitcoin Since bitcoin is experiencing bear what decision will you take make use of the season or let it pass.
I will buy a house to live in since its also an investment, not only for myself but for my family as well. The value of real estate tend to increase so its not a bad decision to commit. On the other side its true that Bitcoin is currently declining and a good time to accumulate however its best to use a capital that you can afford to lose since the future of Bitcoin is uncertain (though we are optimistic it will reach another ATH). But then, investing in Bitcoin can wait so buying a house should be the priority.

There is not a straightforward answer to your question as it depends on what it will happen in the future and your specific circumstances, for example if you already have a family and you have children as well then I will say that buying the house is a must as having a place to call your own when you already have a family is a necessity, however if you are single then you could do something like this and endure some years of uncomfortable living in exchange for getting some bitcoin, multiply its fiat value many times over and then buy what you want with it.

It depends on the situation. If the situation is such that it is very urgent to buy my apartment and I have no fiat currency other than bitcoin then their will be no alternative way for me rather than using BTC. And if it is not urgent then I will not buy an apartment or use Fiat currency to buy an apartment. And I will try to hold BTC as much as possible
Buying a house is for me. A tangible asset that can be occupied right when you need a warm bed. If you wanted a flow of money you can use for investing, you can register your house to airbnb to earn from it.
Thats a good option for anyone who thinks the bear will extend another year. But if you think bear will be over soon, hold your money yet and prepare for the ride of your life. Buy BTC!

i will choose the 2nd option, rented an apartment and used the rest of my savings to buy bitcoins. buying a house is not an urgent need so I can postpone it. it's better to rent for a while, but can buy bitcoins at cheap prices. I skip the initial release of bitcoin, then I also skip the crypto winter 2018, so this time I'm not going to miss it.

I would buy a house. You may not. It does not change anything.Buying a house means having a real estate property at hand if you never had one. Your own house is your own, a rented house is never going to be your own. And if you are someone who loves decorating and designing your own house to make it look real, bitcoin should be kept aside, because end of the day your happiness is what matters, not your money.

The previous statement and this are not linked, even if you might think as. Bitcoin price undergoes bull and bear cycles. That does not mean you will sell your house or go into a rented house, that is an absurd thing to think about. When the prices is bearish, you will buy and then stop at a point when you run out of fiat at hand.
If it's a residential building then a rented apartment will do just fine while you invest in Bitcoin but for commercial buildings liked building with the mind of having some to let out then building is preferred for me. Land and houses appreciates too and at this point bitcoin has gotten to a tight price range where by one still has to think carefully before deciding how much to invest. Either way is good but crypto is best invested with an amount you can afford to lose

This question is difficult to select one. and any of them is good but it matters the one that is important for you at moments. If you rent apartment and buy bitcoins and the bitcoin fall is same thing with some body who paid for apartment and the rent get expired, as cryptocurrency person i will like to use the money to buy house and divide it and for rented apartment of local house and invest for bitcoins for one year. Because i know that with short time it will give me profit to start another project
I will prioritize the place where I can leave comfortably, so basically it is a house and a lot. Lot continuously appreciates in value so there is no worry that it will be worthless someday. It is wise to invest in highly volatile items if we have extra money that won't affect our daily financial needs.

Although bitcoin investment is very promising but we must always be realistic, there is always an opportunity to drop like what happened a few days ago when the bitcoin price dropped from $ 40 to $ 30k, when you have money then immediately buying a house is better and safer and certainly will not make we regret if the negative trend persists for a long time.

Since I have a family, I will choose to own a house to protect my family, otherwise if I am single I will choose to rent a boarding house which is cheaper than an apartment and invest.sacrificing a family to not own a home and choosing to invest is a tough choice although the investment is promising, it all depends on how much money you have and if the amount is big you can take both 50/50. Buy a simple house, the rest is an investment.
Meeting the basic needs of life must be the main thing. When we have money, don't think about profits from business, investment or whatever it's called to meet those needs, but fulfill what we need first. If we prioritize investing, it's not wise in my opinion. It's better to be late to invest than to ignore these basic needs.

To rent a house/apartment for a living is waste of money. The priority should be always own a place for yourself or to live with parents and relatives without paying for the place. Once you acquire your house, you can start investing in bitcoin every month in low amounts of money, so you can enjoy the cheap prices, even though you won't be able to buy large sums of satoshis.But on long run you will be saving a wage or so every month, since you won't be renting, while increasing the value of your patrimony, because the house you may buy will become more valuable along the years. Moreover, we don't know how long it will take until bitcoin enters a new bull run, so you shouldn't put all your hopes, life savings and tickets on this particular event.

This really all depends on where you live and how financially sound you are. In some places it’s actually more cost effective to rent versus owning. Of course there are plenty of places too where it makes more sense to buy. I don’t think you should necessarily mortgage you future on owning bitcoin versus buying a house maybe try and split the difference. Tough call need mode info on the person who’s considering doing this.

Bitcoin may be the best asset nowadays but the fact that losing is still inevitable, then that won't secure your future either. So i'd rather buy a house first because that decision alone comes with future security, and that you will not lose anything from buying a house, instead you can also make it as an investment if you plan to sell it in the future or convert it into a rented apartment. Bitcoin investment can wait, and its surely my second priority.

Homeowners To See Higher Property Taxes
Average property taxes paid rose 4% in 2020, according to data from real estate information firm ATTOM Data Solutions. Housing experts expect them to jump even higher in 2021 as many communities that lost revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic are scrambling to raise new funding. Rising home prices may allow them to cash in going forward.
Metropolitan areas in Alaska, Colorado, Washington, Georgia, and California saw some of the highest price shocks. In Anchorage, AK, for example, average property taxes rose by $987.65, or 26.2%, in one year, according to ATTOM.
“It’s going to bite deep into both homeowners’ and landlords’ pocketbooks, as reassessments kick in and send property tax bills soaring,” says Brian Davis of Spark Rental, a firm that makes software for landlords.
Property taxes are expected to increase by about 6.5% in 2021, according to realAppeal, a company that helps homeowners appeal property tax bills. This larger financial burden will have the hardest impact on homeowners who lost their jobs during the pandemic, elderly residents living on a fixed income, and those struggling to get by in the face of rising inflation. Even tenants will pay the price, as at least a portion of those tax increases are expected to be passed down to them in the form of higher rents.

I think its better to be on the home owner side of property tax hikes, rather than on the renter side. Inflation could cause home values to appreciate, with the property value gains trickling down to home owners. While renters could take a triple whammy of tax hikes, inflation and landlord middle men increasing their rents significantly higher.
It could be accurate to say both home owners and renters could suffer as property taxes are raised higher.
Those hikes in conjunction with higher fossil fuel and food prices with inflation are going to leave many unhappy with their finances.
If we are looking for guaranteed comfort and security, i think buying a house first for your growing family would come as the first priority. Once you are done with that, then its the best time to invest and take some risks. Although each of us have different priorities in life, but make sure that whatever you chose, you will always be responsible of its outcome. Life is not just all about making money, but its also how you will live your life meaningful and valuable.
This is %100 true. I mean I believe that if you invest that money into crypto then you "may" become richer, and I get that but that doesn't mean that you should do this. We should end up with a house first and guarantee our life first. After you did that, instead of paying rent, just end up putting that money into crypto, or even if you can't and pay a mortgage, that's fine because you will have something that will gain value. Depending on where you live, with inflation, you will end up with a house that will be worth maybe x2 or even more by the time you paid off your debt. This is why it's such an important thing to get a house when you can, crypto would only be an alternative to it when you already have one.
I also believe that's a smarter way to look at this situation. Because buying your own house, will also in time increase its value. Though it may not be the same with crypto profits. But you have the assurance that when you wake up, you still have a home to stay with. But when it comes to crypto investments, you have no assurance where the market will be heading to. What if it crashed when you badly need the money, so you will end up at a loss and no roof. But once you secure you have a home, you can do basically what you want afterwards. In short, secure you have a roof first.

For me, it will be calmer to buy and improve my home, and only after I have some kind of financial cushion will I invest. I cannot trust that I cannot guarantee the safety of my family, since we are raising children, and we cannot risk their lives.
But I agree with Lucius that for very young people, it is possible to take risks, live in a rented apartment, and invest in bitcoin. But again, you must be prepared that at some point, it may happen that you will have nothing to pay for housing. Therefore, evaluate all risks.
