💡 This morning I came across an article saying that Hungarian housing prices have risen by more than 20% in a single year. That alone is shocking — but the real jaw-dropper was the figure at the end.

📈 If we take 2001 as 100, by 2026 Hungarian real estate prices will have increased 7.5×. Coincidence? Not really.

💸 Let’s look at it from the money side.
In 2001, there were roughly 6,000 billion HUF in the economy.
Today? 45,000 billion HUF.
That’s almost an 8× increase.

🧮 This is real inflation.
Not what the statistics show, but what the growth of the money supply causes. On an annual basis, that’s roughly 8.5–9%.

🏠 This is why real estate seems like a “good investment.”
Not because it’s magical, but because:
• it’s hard to produce
• it has real utility
• when rented out, it can add another 3–4% yield

That’s how you get around 12% nominal returns in forints — calculated in a currency that’s constantly being inflated.

📉 And here’s the key point:
It’s not that real estate became expensive.
👉 The forint simply became worth less and less.

🪙 This is where Bitcoin comes into the picture.
A monetary system that cannot be inflated, because:
• there will never be more of it
• it’s global
• it isn’t controlled by a state or a bank

🌍 It’s not coming someday — it’s already here.
Used by individuals, companies, even countries.
The only question is: when do you start understanding it?

📍 We’ll be talking about this today at the Bitcoin Meetup.
