What actually holds value when traditional currency systems crack? Molson raises this exact question—and honestly, it's one most people haven't seriously gamed out.

Think about it. Hollywood floods theaters with alien apocalypse films and robot uprising scenarios. Yet when it comes to fiat currency collapse? Crickets. The cultural imagination just doesn't go there, which means most folks haven't mentally rehearsed what happens when money stops working as advertised.

Yet history and economics tell us the scenario isn't fictional. Real estate has historically served as that bedrock asset—something tangible, productive, and geographically immovable that maintains purchasing power across different monetary regimes. You can't print more land. You can't dilute its utility.

But here's where crypto enthusiasts and traditional finance diverges hard. Does physical real estate truly insulate you? Or does it introduce new vulnerabilities—property taxes, regulatory seizure, illiquidity when you need speed?

The deeper question: in a world where monetary policy becomes increasingly unpredictable, what actually qualifies as "safe"? Real estate. Gold. Bitcoin. Productive assets. Each has different risk profiles depending on the failure scenario you're preparing for.

Which one actually protects your purchasing power? That depends on which fiat failure mechanism you're betting against.
