Leon Wankum Says Bitcoin Could Absorb Real Estate’s Monetary Value

Real estate operator and author Leon Wankum says Bitcoin (BTC) could absorb monetary value now embedded in property prices, shifting some demand for wealth storage from buildings to a digital asset. Wankum estimates the global property market is worth $300 trillion to $500 trillion. He contends that monetary demand, rather than the practical use of buildings, accounts for 80% to 90% of that value. He calls this extra monetary demand a monetary premium. His base case puts Bitcoin’s value at $1 quadrillion.
