How the comparison works

Dollars and Bitcoin measure the same cost differently.

The calculation divides monthly rent by the Bitcoin price today, then applies the listed rent-inflation and Bitcoin-growth assumptions to estimate the same monthly cost later.

What can change

Assumptions are inputs, not predictions.

Actual rent depends on location, lease timing, and housing supply. Bitcoin prices are also volatile, so these editable assumptions illustrate possibilities rather than predict outcomes.
