Weimar 2.0: Why Your $500k Home Will Soon Be Worth 39 Ounces of Silver
The Fiat Death Spiral Has Already Eroded 60% of Your Home’s Real Value in Gold. Here’s How to Escape Before the Reset.
For generations, we’ve been sold a myth: Your home is your most valuable investment. This idea fuels bidding wars, justifies backbreaking mortgages, and drives families to stretch their finances to the breaking point. But what if this “investment” is nothing more than a fiat-induced hallucination? What if today’s astronomical housing prices are a direct product of currency debasement—destined to implode when the global monetary system resets?
The evidence is overwhelming. The real estate market isn’t driven by scarcity or intrinsic value. It’s a bloated asset bubble inflated by cheap money—and its collapse will make housing affordable again.
The Fiat-Real Estate Feedback Loop: How Cheap Money Distorts Everything
When central banks create trillions of dollars ex nihilo, that new money doesn’t enter the economy evenly. It floods financial assets first—stocks, bonds, and real estate—before trickling down to consumer goods. This is the Cantillon Effect: Those closest to the money spigot (banks, investors, corporations) get richer, while everyone else pays higher prices for assets.
Here’s how it distorts housing:
Artificially Low Rates: After the 2008 crisis, the Federal Reserve slashed rates to near-zero and printed $9 trillion. Mortgages became “cheap,” divorcing prices from incomes.
Speculative Mania: Investors bought properties not for shelter, but as “inflation hedges.” By 2025, 30% of U.S. homes were owned by institutional investors.
Supply Misdirection: Builders focused on luxury units (higher margins), ignoring affordable housing. The result? A glut of empty condos alongside record homelessness.
Homes are depreciating assets when priced in real money.
The proof:
In 2000, a Sydney home cost around 558 oz of gold. By 2025, it’s closer to 254 oz—a 55% drop in real value. Fiat masked this collapse as “appreciation.”
Weimar, 1923: At the peak of hyperinflation, a luxury Berlin apartment sold for just 39 silver coins—less than the price of a cow. In worthless paper Marks, it was a 99% crash. But in real money? That same property still cost 288 gold marks (0,358 grams of Gold), just like before the crisis.
