The Real Reason Governments Are Embracing Bitcoin
Last week, my neighbor's daughter moved back home. She’s 29, makes $75,000 a year, and has saved $40,000 for a down payment.
In 1995, that would have bought her a nice three-bedroom house in a good neighborhood.
Today, it barely covers the down payment on a two-bedroom condo an hour from downtown.
She’s not alone.
Across America, young adults are postponing marriage, delaying having children, and watching their life plans crumble against the wall of housing costs that have exploded 400% faster than wages.
But here’s what will shock you: The problem my neighbor’s daughter, and millions of other Americans, is facing isn’t a housing crisis. It’s a monetary crisis masquerading as a housing shortage.
And the solution isn’t building more houses. It’s something far more profitable for those who see it coming.
The $20 Trillion Theft You’re Living Through
Since the 2020 pandemic outbreak, governments around the world have printed nearly $10 trillion in new money. They told you it was to “save the economy.”
But here’s what they didn’t tell you: That money didn’t just disappear into thin air.
It went hunting for assets. And it found your housing market.
When you create $10 trillion out of thin air, that money has to go somewhere. It doesn't sit in checking accounts earning 1% interest while inflation rises an average of 4.4% per year.
It floods into anything that can preserve purchasing power better than rapidly devaluing currency: Stocks, bonds, real estate, art, collectibles.
But housing captured the most attention because it’s the one asset class that combines two powerful forces: It’s both a basic human need AND a store of value.
So when governments fired up their printing presses, your local housing market became the target of a global monetary tsunami.
