Bitcoin an opportunity like land

[Ambatman]

This might not be applicable everywhere but in my Country Nigeria i can attest to it.

Land price is ever growing and its supply is gradually reducing(limited supply) which has helped pushed the price more,unlike some fixed assets which depreciates in value with time.

Lands in the time of old was barely of any value. Something man just met and didn't know how valuable it is. In the past, couple of decades ago the prices of land were cheap due to its abundant supply in my country but now to buy a land is not something one can just wake up and do. Its very expensive especially in developed areas and even the rural areas increased the prices because demands is getting higher than supply. A land that could be bought for #5000($3.8 ) is been sold in millions of naira (>$2000).

This phase of growth to me could be likened to Bitcoin, while Land is in the physical realm Bitcoin occupies the digital. During Bitcoin inception its price was zero,many didn't consider its value but as times goes on the world started seeing its importance and many smart individual are holding already. It reminds of grandparents who kept their lands for years and later sold to school their kids abroad or improve the status of their family.

Now the price of land is so high that it would be difficult to get some acres by an average family but not Bitcoin. Since its divisible one can buy as little as a dollar and enjoy the privilege of fore fathers in getting their land at a relatively low cost.

Land was an opportunity for the past century and still till date, Bitcoin is one of ours. We were fortunate to be around the era where it can be bought by anyone. So try to take advantage of it.

Land owners who didn't enjoy their investment paved a great foundation for their children.
Bitcoin supply is limited like land and would continue to grow in price as inflation continues to affect the world.

In my country, especially in products gotten from lands like agricultural products, the law of gravity doesn't apply. As it rises yearly, the increase continues.

Buy now and don't start waiting for huge dip before entering. Trust me you would miss out.
There are people that sold their lands around 5 years ago and are regretting not keeping till date.
In the case of having a land, i believe leasing is better.

Its better for your regret to be not buying more than for it been not buying at all.

How's the price of land in your country?
Have you ever thought been in the time where land was cheap and bought alot?
Are you boarding the train(cheap) of Bitcoin holders or you want to wait for private jets?

Both are good investment, if you have both then you're lucky.

It is true that land as a property is such a good investment, however, the tax you're going to pay per month or per year is also a pain in the ass if you don't put anything in your land, like raising livestock on it or plants fruits and vegetables to generate more profits. Here in my country, land that are near the roads pitch much higher prices than those who are in a very high places like in farms near the forest.

While Bitcoin, if you bought some and hold for long term, it is all about waiting game until you hit the price where you're contented about selling it, no hassle at all. Though each of them has their own advantages, so either of them is a good investment in short.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Talking about you having money and making an investment in it, buying of lands are the traditional old ways of making an investment being risky and yet profitable, you can choose to buy land and someone take it from you or government, you will need your personal information before acquiring land, but with bitcoin, you can be more profitable if invested and you will be under nobody before choosing what to do with your asset, if land could be profitable with investment, then know this that bitcoin is more profitable on that, it's an asset and a digital currency decentralized.

[Despairo]

No need to ask, I believe many people in every country face this problem too because population and manufacture are rising, it make land become scarce. What I don't like to invest in land is, there are many gangsters in my country that cooperate with police, notary, and banks. So let's say I bought land and have the proof of ownership, there's a possibility someone can claim my land using other proof of ownership.

In Bitcoin, you're safe. As long as you bought the real coin aka BTC (not BSV, BCH etc) on chain (not BSC, MATIC etc) and you hold it in non custodial wallet, you don't have to worry.

Bitcoin is a bit like land yes. Very valuable and supply capped. Though the supply cap on Bitcoin is of course total, and therefore much more limited than the cap on land as humans can do small amounts of adding land, and also climate change will open up new livable areas (while taking away some currently living areas).


And with how expensive real estate is these days, Bitcoin is a great alterantive. In fact I'd say people should be saving for real estate / land by using Bitcoin. Real estate is so expensive a lot of people will only be able to afford it if instead of trying to save up to buy some land/house in cash they can save in Bitcoin for a market cycle or two and be able to afford a house they never otherwise would be able to.


I know any house/land I buy will be coming straight from Bitcoin. Otherwise I would not be buying anything more than a cheap piece of land.

It depends on your priorities. Whether you prioritize the stability of land or the potential growth of Bitcoin, it boils down to what aligns best with your financial goals and preferences. Having both is better.  Land provides a tangible asset with historical appreciation, while Bitcoin adds a digital dimension with its potential for significant growth.

I am from India and being in a country that has the biggest population in the world I can relate to your topic. What I do not understand is your comparison of land with Bitcoin the reason being land is physical and Bitcoin is virtual. Buying land has more obligations than buying Bitcoin as you would need to go through multiple paperwork. The next issue is that the land is governed by the government ruling that land whereas Bitcoin is decentralized. Comparing Bitcoin with land based on its price does not fit as Bitcoin has many more positive aspects than a piece of land. While I agree that both the price of land and Bitcoin are unstoppable, understand this Bitcoin is responsible for everyone being aware of an ecosystem that is decentralized while land is a centralized entity and its price is controlled by the government.

[DeathAngel]

Great thread, I have seen people say that acquiring Bitcoin now at current prices is like being real estate in New York 250 years ago. I think it was Michael Saylor who explained it in great detail regarding the comparison. Buying Bitcoin now is something that could create generational wealth for you & your family.

[kentrolla]

Yes we can relate both the real estate and Bitcoin as both have limited supply and value of both increases with time. But we need to understand few major differences like lands are physical which can be used as per our wish to create revenue through it like renting out or having collaboration with builders to build apartment all these while we hold the land to our name but when it comes to Bitcoin we have stuffs like staking wherein we will still have our Bitcoin and still earn extra profits through staking. These are the two of the most reliable and profitable source of investment. This stands true for most of the countries not only to Nigeria.

The ROI around bitcoin is by far greater than that of a land. A land can appreciate depending some factors like locations which most at times Take years to develop, yes bitcoin can also take years before a massive ROI is possible but bitcoin also has the ability to overturn that in a space of year. Let’s look at last year bitcoin rise it did an almost 3x from $16k to $46k, landed properties cannot do this. But also bitcoin with this volatility is also what makes it a risky investment because you can simply go in and decide to take your money out immediately it might have dumped then. Now here comes the advantage of less volatile assets like land you can simply get it sold off at just anytime and the worst case scenario is not getting any profit on it except maybe a natural disaster rocked that place. So I am seriously with the opinion that while we at taking advantage of bitcoin ROI ability we should be diversifying it to other assets like land to help make one’s portfolio better

Both are good investments in the long term. But you need to DYOR in order not to make a bad investment. Btc leads in terms of ROI, but having a land as investment isn't bad atoll. You just have to make the right call.

[kryptqnick]

In my country, there's no housing crisis because the population has been decreasing for a few decades, so expecting even a house or a flat to rise in price (above inflation rate) isn't very realistic, let alone just a piece of land that doesn't have anything on it. Okay, looking at some data, it does seem that there's some growth in price (10% over a year, it seems), but the land market is very new in my country (it has existed for less than 2 years), and there's no completely reliable and trustworthy data.
Another thing is that my country's at war with another country, so the land you buy might get occupied by a foreign power or might be destroyed by military equipment and weapons. That also makes Bitcoin a lot more attractive, as it is digital.

[famososMuertos]

The  things; assets, goods, art, etc.  With which you could compare the opportunity to have bitcoin is extensive and is usually "limited" to the social and knowledge environment.

In these parts there is the phrase "land is not for sale", it is a safe form of long-term investment.

BTW,  in a more universal comparison the actions of Coca-Cola at the beginning of the last century made millionaires of many famous, for example Ty Coob to name someone linked to sports, or Moe Howard, who did not earn much money in his iconic role in the famous series "Three Stooges."

His story is emblematic, His income from that role was minimal, but he invested in Coca-Cola shares, and it gave him money to have a better life.

Two stories of opportunities, then, the thing here is that no matter what you want to compare it to, bitcoin is the opportunity available to everyone.

[Shishir99]

Land, Gold, and Bitcoin, all of them are good investments. I never bought land because I never felt like I should buy more land. I already got a portion of land from my father and my house is on it. I never felt I should buy more land. To be honest, I never had that much money in my hand so I could buy another portion of land for the future. I have some Bitcoin and Gold as well. Gold is not for sell nor the Bitcoin. I will sell them at some point. But, Not until I need some urgent cash. I am getting some satoshi every week from the signature campaign for now and I am saving it somewhere for the future.

I think the OP is just trying to evaluate on the important of the assets giving you major profits in the future and nothing more. It's true that land and Bitcoin are two different things entirely as one is digital and the other is physical but that's not the point of the thread, am from Nigeria too and I can relate well to what the OP is saying, land purchase has been a major game changer for citizens here in my country as it's yield huge profits because the land actually grow in value overtime just similar to the way Bitcoin has gotten so much value since from the time of its creation.

Myself I can testify to this because I also involved myself in the opportunity of getting a piece of land in an area not too developed some years back having the faith on it bringing me good returns in the future like the way most Bitcoin enthusiast HODLs their coins and I was not wrong also and if not for the fact that I build on that land the price tag on it was 5x the original amount I used in acquiring that piece of land.

[Zanab247]

If you invest huge amount of money on land you will go to earn something meaningful in 5 years time, if the place you buy the land is a developed place because many buyers prefer place that is already open for them to purchase the land so that they can start building or resell it to make profits.

I never invest in land , but I have invested in BTC many times and, what I got in return make me to always put more money whenever the market price dump which is the best opportunity to buy BTC and hodl for future purpose and, what you will make if you hodl the BTC like 5 years, I don't think you can make such profits from land in 5 years no matter how expensive land is in your area.

[btc78]

I would say it is expensive also because of my current economical status I do think that both bitcoin and land or real estate are good investments however I find bitcoin much more accessible and doable for now as someone who can not yet afford to buy a land but soon maybe even with the help of bitcoin I might be able to buy some land

[RioBlemz]

Good Input. I like the fact that you made mentioned of the incremental value of Land as well as BTC. One thing you got right is to encourage people to own BTC stating that it would be a life changing decision in the long run. In my own analysis I don't think it would be appropriate to put Land and BTC in the same stream as pertain investment.

Land is a fixed asset and BTC is not. The fact is the price of BTC fluctuates and it is volatile whereas land has a fixed price this demands on so many functioning factors and the region in question.

To own a landed property is a decision that marks your territorial advantage. BTC will do well in the nearest future and beyond.

I don't know if there is any comparison between land and Bitcoin because there are a lot of differences. In an actual sense, the supply of land doesn't reduce over time as you said because even if land is sold from one person to another, the land still stays in the supply but it might just vanish from the market for a while until the new owner decides to sell it again. So the supply of land keeps fluctuating which isn't the case with Bitcoin because Bitcoin has a fixed and limited supply.

Another big difference is the investment size. One doesn't have a choice to invest as low as they want when it comes to land or real estate, but even today, you have the choice to invest as low as you want in Bitcoin because the minimum you can buy is $10 in most exchanges which means that it gives you flexibility when it comes to investment size.

Both opportunities are full of advantages but the benefits of lands depends on location. As you mentioned that land near to roads have more prices than near to forest but more expensive you buy more profitable you will be because the price of land near to road are getting expensive very fast.

Bitcoin is also good source for investment because one can buy bitcoin by using little by little money if he is unable to buy a whole bitcoin but in a case of land one cannot use little sum to buy it but whole portion of land should must be buy at once.

Profit can be easily achieved from both sources but it up to a person that from which source he can easily get profit and also it depends on market situations but bitcoin is more unstable whereas land is stable in price and also is increasing continuously without showing any decrease.
