In 2020 I did the first of two cash-out refis on my house below 3.5% to increase my bitcoin (I did it again in 2022). Then I used some of that bitcoin to purchase my land. When I sold my house, I split the remaining equity into my down payment on the new house and into bitcoin.

I can also at any time, pay off the mortgage on my new house. But I'm betting bitcoin continues to eat the dollar faster than the interest on the loan, socI have no incentive to do so.

I've been able to level up my life dramtically since 2017. I don't recommend strategies because everyone has different conditions, and as a GenXer, I was in a position to take advantage of the end of the fiat system.

The point is that bitcoin is an incredible asset that has allowed me to do things that would have been completely out of reach simply because it's awesome and my risk tolerance is very high.
