Many people still believe: “Buying a house is the safest investment.”
It sounds good — but in reality, this idea no longer works.


📊 Market Capitalization Breakdown

  • Real Estate: $654T
  • Bonds: $145T
  • Global Equities: $128T
  • Money Markets: $95T
  • Gold: $23T
  • Bitcoin: $2.3T

Real estate is 5x bigger than bonds and 7x bigger than global equities.
That’s not balance — that’s distortion. Most of the world’s capital is locked inside property. But ask yourself: is it truly worth that much?


⚠️ Why Real Estate Is Overvalued

  1. You’re not buying a house — you’re buying land.
    Houses deteriorate, require constant maintenance, and lose value over time. Land is what carries the “price.” If the land isn’t worth the inflated cost, you’re overpaying.
  2. Price detached from yield.
    Real estate has stopped functioning as a productive asset. Returns are weak compared to the capital tied up.
  3. A massively overheated market.
    $654T in capitalization does not reflect real value. It’s a bubble inflated by speculation, cheap credit, and blind faith that “property always goes up.”

âś… Other Markets Are Still Balanced

  • Equities rise in line with corporate profits and innovation.
  • Cryptocurrencies are gaining institutional traction — ETF inflows are hitting records.
  • Gold remains stable and balanced within the macro picture.

Stocks and crypto may feel “expensive” only compared to your paycheck or past prices. But compared to real estate, they are cheap and have massive upside potential.


đź”® A Smart Strategy for This Cycle

  • Today: Allocate into U.S. equities and crypto — the sectors with exponential growth ahead.
  • Tomorrow: Wait for the real estate crash. (It happened in 2008, it will happen again.)
  • After: Deploy profits into property at fair, post-crisis valuations.

The only rational reason to buy real estate now is if you’re offered a deal far below market price. Anything else is not investment — it’s illusion.


đź§  Think Like Capital, Not Like a Worker

  • Workers see a house as a “dream.”
  • Investors see the bubble and move capital where it multiplies.

Real estate doesn’t grow forever. It stagnates, and eventually it collapses.
Equities and crypto — that’s where future wealth is created.


🔥 The coming decade is full of opportunities.
The question isn’t if real estate will crash — the question is when.
And the real question is: will you be ready when it happens?

    This is a very sane synoptic analysis.

    A pleasure to read.
