Question: Some people say buying Bitcoin is like buying real estate in New York in the 1800 (or whatever). But real estate you can make money off of renting….. am I missing something?

Sorry to ask a newb question but as the title explains….if you had real estate passed down to you from the 1800s in New York you would most likely be making a ton of rent money wish would be able to be used to buy more bitcoin.

Wouldn’t it be better to buy real estate now so you can rent out and use whatever extra last a mortgage to buy more bitcoin?

Or am I missing something fairly practical in the thought?

Thanks in advance.
