Once bitcoin surpasses real estate as the preferred store of value, architecture will shift to prioritize function over speculation.

Bitcoin-backed financial products make it possible to learn through insight, instead of the system having to collapse and people having to learn through suffering.

The legacy financial infrastructure is not compatible with Bitcoin. As a result, legacy financial products will increasingly integrate and be exposed to bitcoin, not to reinvent the system, but to gradually harden existing structures (see $STRK & $STRF). Over time, this process will lead to Bitcoin establishing itself as the monetary singularity, setting a new global monetary standard. In my next newsletter, I’ll explore this in detail. Out next week! https://leonwankum.substack.com/

Empiricism is ultimately meaningless, because the future doesn't exist; it is a concept.

The time of corporate Bitcoin adoption is here. Strategy has provided the playbook. Companies like Metaplanet have heeded this call, and thousands will follow. In my upcoming newsletter, I will explore in detail what this means for Bitcoin, and its monetary function. Out next week! https://leonwankum.substack.com/

This was my first time speaking to a real estate crowd. 1,000+ RE investors open to learning about Bitcoin. I was stunned at how openly BTC and its benefits for real estate development and management were embraced. Clearly, the tide is shifting. ✨🛸 https://youtu.be/PA7_8wRr74I

The negative transformation in architecture, often rightly critiqued by Bitcoiners, wasn’t driven solely by fiat money. Both modern architecture and fiat currency are 20th‑century phenomena born of the same push for standardization, industrialization, and modernism In the late 19th century, architecture, art, and design were deeply rooted in historical styles and maximalism. As the industrial revolution took hold, counter-movements emerged. Adolf Loos was a radical early‑20th‑century Viennese architect who challenged norms by stripping away all ornamentation he deemed unnecessary. He argued that modernity required a break from the past. He influenced a generation of architects. Among them was the Swiss architect Le Corbusier, who would become one of the most influential figures in modern architecture. Simultaneously, the Bauhaus school emerged in Germany in 1919, under the leadership of Walter Gropius, with notable figures such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer. Their emphasis on simple, functional forms made a lasting impact on global design, laying the groundwork for what we now consider modern, minimalist architecture. But not all minimalism is equal. Early Bauhaus designers were arguably aesthetic innovators, but most things created since are not so elegantly designed. Today, the world has been filled with careless, knock-off minimalism, it feels cheap rather than stylish, boring instead of sleek. We have also moved far away from the round shapes and attention to detail we find in nature. It is no wonder that people leave the city on weekends to reconnect with nature, where the calming effect of green soothes the human nervous system. We have drifted far from nature. Traditional building materials like clay and wood, along with warm color schemes on both the interiors and exteriors of buildings, as well as the inclusion of gardens and dedicated spaces for the community, children, family life, and work, have largely been relegated to the background. Coupled with rising costs driven by inflation, the deterioration of housing quality has become a hallmark of modernism. The pendulum of fashion always swings one way, then another, and each generation reacts to what came before. So what is the future of architecture and design? In much the same way that the Bauhaus movement standardized design, Bitcoin allows us to go back to a more individual design. Bitcoin’s fixed supply naturally encourages a low time‑preference mindset, with the potential to revive the intergenerational outlook vital for thoughtful design, architecture & urban development. Under a Bitcoin standard, developers and residents alike would be motivated to invest in high‑quality, durable infrastructure and public spaces that benefit not just today’s generation, but those to come. As Bitcoin continues to mature and integrate into our financial fabric, it may well catalyze a design and architecture revolution. Where the principles of tradition, modern architecture and sound money converge to create more affordable quality housing.

This was my first time speaking to a real estate crowd. 1,000+ real estate investors learning about Bitcoin. I was absolutely amazed at how openly Bitcoin and its benefits for real estate development and management were embraced. A testimonial to the work of nostr:nprofile1qyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuum9d45hxmmv9ejx2a30qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsqgqdcynsnp39cxwc0f38n5xy0mu5r6h2mrv06yuuaw9dma605gk6gvev6x0l and Nick Karadza at Rock Star Real Estate. Thank you for the invitation and the warm welcome.

I finally published “The Strategy Playbook: Lessons for Real Estate Entrepreneurs”. Although much has been written on this topic, I felt it was important to explore the strategy in greater detail. As a real estate entrepreneur, I find this case particularly interesting because it serves as a blueprint for how real estate businesses can leverage their balance sheets to accumulate bitcoin in a similar way. The insights I gained will be integrated as a chapter in my book ‘Digital Real Estate’, and I welcome any feedback. https://leonwankum.substack.com/p/the-strategy-playbook-lessons

Keynesians are evil people. The world will eventually learn what a crime against humanity the disregard for monetary sovereignty was.

What Bitcoin has to offer to humanity is unprecedented: instead of society collapsing under inflation, bitcoin will be monetized through monetary debasement, serving as a cushion to elevate humanity to a new level of economic and social consciousness.
