The article discusses how bitcoin is becoming a new touchstone for Generation Z to accrue generational wealth, similar to how previous generations relied on real estate. It highlights three ways in which bitcoin functions like digital real estate and why it may surpass traditional real estate as an investment over time. Firstly, bitcoin is a global, neutral reserve asset with no counterparty risk, making it a safe value storage with high demand. Additionally, both bitcoin and real estate have long-term value potential due to their scarcity and enduring popularity. Secondly, the difficulty in finding desirable locations to build homes and businesses increases the demand and cost of real estate over time. Bitcoin, with its hard-coded supply cap, is also likely to experience price appreciation. Finally, although critics argue that bitcoin lacks real value and intrinsic yield, recent developments such as the launch of bitcoin ETFs and technological advancements have made it more productive and capable of generating cash flows. The article also highlights the accessibility and superior returns of bitcoin compared to real estate, which has led to its popularity among young people. As a result, bitcoin is seen as a potential formula for financial success in the digital age.
