Comments like that make me think you've either not watched any Mad Max movies, or haven't been in Detroit recently.

Eventually all the criminals in Detroit will be pacified or flee for "fuck civil rights, gun control!" jurisdictions. Then the newer Detroit residents will laugh their asses off at your lack of foresight.

I'll be depressed until the day 1 btc can buy you one house
It can! Have a look in Detroit.
This technically isn't true. Even if you were to buy the house as an asset for $500 (~1 BTC) you would first have to pay a lot more then that in order to make the house habitable. You would also have the increased tax payments to the state and local tax authority that you would likely need to pay if you were to move from out of state and have the same income. Not to mention the likely medical bills from the increased chances of getting mugged and the replacement costs of your assets that would have a much greater chance of getting stolen.

Considering you can actually defend yourself in Detroit, I don't think being a mugging victim (as opposed to an attempted mugging victim) is that big of a threat.
It is generally not a good idea to try to defend yourself against a mugger that has any kind of a weapon. If someone is willing to pull a gun or a knife on you then they might as well be willing to use it against you. If you give them what you want then the worst that will generally happen is they will get whatever valuables you have on your person at the time.

“Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was ‘used’ by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies,” the CDC study, entitled “Priorities For Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violence,” states.

Guns are valuable, so rather than be murdered or maimed after complying, I would prefer to give my gun to them, bullets first.
I would still want to avoid this kind of situation in the first place. If you can avoid living in a neighborhood that has a lower crime rate (this isn't saying much when comparing to detroit) the chances of you being in this situation are much lower (even if your chances of injury are lower if you "use" your gun on an assailant, the chances are still far from zero).

I don't know if anyone would be interested in helping with my project Bits 4 Bricks?  It aims to increase the amount of housing stock available for bitcoin and increase the circulation of bitcoin in the housing and building trade.

Buying a house with Bitcoin would be rather difficult since a wide range of the mortgage companies are not willing to partake in it due to the fluctuating trends of Bitcoin.

if you could really buy one, there will be the tax problem you know, for a such huge thing like that you can't escape IRS

There are several users that would rent their holidays home for btc but the ones who are willing to sell it are very rare.

Well on that topic if we saw more people using services like Air BNB and accepting Bitcoin that would also be nice
Not really buying a house with bitcoin but being able to find a place to rent or stay a few days with someone who accepts Bitcoin would be another step towards bitcoin adoption.
