Stop calculating house prices in fiat—it only makes you more anxious.
Switch to Bitcoin units, and the world suddenly looks alarmingly "cheap."
Today I dug into global housing prices for you all. If you’re holding BTC, how many coins would it take to buy a 200-square-meter (about 2,150 sq ft) luxury apartment in prime central locations around the world?
(Estimated at $BTC ≈ $80,000, based on top-tier luxury properties in core districts only)
Monaco: ~138 BTC (the global tax haven for the ultra-rich—truly prestigious)
Hong Kong (Central/Mid-Levels): ~70 BTC (once the ceiling; now just a few dozen coins)
New York (Manhattan): ~63 BTC (next door to Wall Street elites)
London (Mayfair): ~55 BTC (the entry ticket to an old-money empire)
Singapore: ~50 BTC (the first choice for Web3 founders holding meetings)
Paris: ~48 BTC (the price of a view of the Eiffel Tower)
Shanghai (Lujiazui/Bund): ~45 BTC (same view as Tomson Riviera)
Taipei (Xinyi/Daan): ~38 BTC (a front-row spot for Taipei 101 fireworks)
Tokyo (Minato): ~36 BTC (after the yen’s depreciation, Tokyo is extremely good value)
Dubai: ~23 BTC (a tax-free paradise packed with Web3 acquaintances)
Bangkok: ~13 BTC (living like a boss in a top-tier affluent district)
After looking at these numbers, I came to only two conclusions:
Fiat is inflating, but the world is massively discounting itself in BTC. Ten years ago, buying a house in Bangkok cost over 1,000 BTC; now it’s only a dozen or so. Do you think homes got more expensive? No—the fiat currency is shrinking, and hard money is taking everything.
Concrete vs seed phrase: 200 square meters of concrete can’t be moved, and it still comes with annual property taxes and management fees; dozens of BTC can sit in a cold wallet, and you can take them across borders without even setting off a metal detector.
If we really reach the peak of a bull market and BTC surges to $200,000 or $500,000... maybe just 10 BTC could sweep Manhattan and London.
Which city could your BTC stack fully pay for a home in right now?
