@westcoast.wizard: Pay off your car: you still pay every year to register it. Pay off your home: you still pay property taxes every year. The debt can disappear. The obligation doesn’t. That’s one reason I buy Bitcoin and XRP. My homes and cars have ongoing costs simply to own and maintain them. Bitcoin doesn’t have property tax, registration, or a required monthly payment just to continue holding it. That doesn’t make crypto risk-free. Price volatility, custody, and security are real risks. But it raises a bigger question: If you have to keep paying someone forever to keep an asset, what does “owning it” really mean? I’m not against homes or cars. I own them. I’m simply thinking differently about ownership. Don’t just ask what it costs to buy an asset. Ask what it costs to own it forever.#ripples #xrpcommunity #fyp #usa🇺🇸 #patriots
