Bitcoin Magazine has published a video feature built around Leon Wankum’s view that Bitcoin is starting to challenge real estate’s $300 trillion monetary premium.
Wankum, the author of Digital Real Estate, which was published by Bitcoin Magazine Books, argues that property has long been the default place to store wealth. He says that period is over. In the program description, he ties the buildup of monetary premium in real estate to fiat debasement since 1971 and says Bitcoin, as absolutely scarce money, is now pulling that premium away from the property market.

According to the published summary, Wankum also explains why the shift would affect both residential and commercial real estate.
