🏠 Paying off your mortgage is a huge mistake IMO 🏠
Saylor agrees 🧵👇
If you already own a home or plan to buy one, not having a mortgage is leaving massive money on the table.
A mortgage is the every-man’s way to perform a Pierre Rochard-style speculative attack on the fiat system.
You put downward pressure on the USD by shorting the dollar and upward pressure on bitcoin by buying it with the proceeds.
You are siphoning value out of the fiat world and into the bitcoin world.
You are hastening the dollar’s demise while pumping bitcoin’s rise.
You end up with two assets instead of one, funded by steadily debasing debt that you’ve sold to a fiat maxi who then sells it to the Fed.
You’ve now got two things working for you:
A house you get to live in
+
A stack of sovereign BTC funded by fiat debt that gets weaker every year
Paying off the mortgage kills that setup.
You’re left with one asset (the house) and less exposure to the asymmetric upside of bitcoin.
Of course, you need to be smart about using any kind of leverage.
But a mortgage is a tool that can help you get wealthier while sticking it to the fiat system.

A mortgage is your lever.
Bitcoin is your place to stand.
I write about bitcoin, financial independence, and using the system’s flaws against itself.
