How the comparison works

Dollars and Bitcoin measure the same cost differently.

The calculation divides the home price by the Bitcoin price for each point in time. It then applies the listed home-price inflation and Bitcoin-growth assumptions over the selected horizon.

What can change

Assumptions are inputs, not predictions.

Housing prices vary by location and market conditions, while Bitcoin prices can move sharply. Change the price, horizon, and growth assumptions to explore a range that fits your question.
