In my mind when comparing bitcoin, gold, and real estate I separate state blood sucking from legit cost of ownership. Land is usually going to require maintenance unless it is undeveloped or wild land. Gold requires security as does bitcoin but bitcoin security is far cheaper and less trust is required. Its the superior asset. And on top of that you can take it anywhere and transfer it globally with no third party. On top of that you can use it as currency. Its quite amazing. I think even if it just killed fiat and all central banks had to peg to it we'd have a huge win for mankind. But it won't stop there.
