The Rise of Real Estate and the Birth of Modern Credit

Key Takeaways:

1. Real Estate Evolution: Real estate transitioned from basic shelter to a key financial asset, reflecting post-WWII economic changes.
2. Inflation's Role: As cash lost value, real estate became a popular store of wealth, fueling a surge in mortgage lending.
3. Scarcity in Credit Markets: Credit markets prefer scarce assets like real estate, precious metals, and now digital assets like Bitcoin.
4. Debt Risks: Overreliance on debt in asset pricing can create instability, similar to a fragile Jenga tower.
5. Bitcoin's Impact: Bitcoin introduces a decentralized, scarce store of value, reshaping credit markets and financial planning.
