If Bitcoin goes up very high should i buy a house?
Ive been thinking if it went into very high figures i could cash out 80-90% of bitcoin and buy a house outright with no mortgage. Is that even a good idea though? - basically 80% of networth in a house hmmm. On the other hand i dont want to have a mortgage and im fed up with renting due to landlords, letting agents and lack of control.
Technically, anything real-estate is a bad investment in my opinion.
You have a large chunk of your property as an immovable thing that's just sitting there. If ever you need to sell the house, the price would have to be lower than what you bought it for. If ever there's a disaster, you can't simply walk away with your house.
If I were me, I'd just rent a reasonably-priced flat. All responsibility regarding it would be shouldered by the landlord (repair, taxes, papers, etc.) If there was a disaster, you don't worry about your place because that's the landlord's job. You would simply just pay a monthly fee. Lesser stress, lesser financial burden.
What do you want? A house with nothing in it or a modestly-sized flat that's filled with stuff that matters?
