Owning Bitcoin today feels a lot like owning land 100 years ago. In 1925 the average acre of US farmland was worth about $54. Today it's about $4,500. They stopped making new land a long time ago, and the people who held it got paid for their patience. But what's interesting is who actually kept it. The 1920s were brutal for land. Prices fell from $69 an acre in 1920 to $49 by 1930. In Minnesota, land that sold for $109 an acre ended up around $35. The farmers who lost everything were mostly the ones who had borrowed heavily during the boom. The ones without debt could just wait it out. Sound familiar? Then there's the second test, which is passing it on. When Henrietta King died in 1925, the King Ranch estate owed $859,000 in estate taxes and was about $3 million in debt by 1929. The family didn't sell the land. They leased the oil rights in 1933, paid off the debt, and kept the ranch together as one company. It's still 825,000 acres today. The Waggoner family ran their ranch for nearly a century. Then the heirs fought in court for 25 years and the whole thing was sold in 2016. The buyer was Stan Kroenke. Last December he bought almost a million more acres from the Singleton heirs, and now he's the biggest private landowner in America with 2.7 million acres. That's the pattern. Land rarely gets taken. It gets sold by the next generation, usually because of debt, taxes, or a family that never agreed on why they were holding it. Bitcoin is the same game on a shorter clock. A fixed supply, painful drawdowns, and coins that slowly move from people who need to sell to people who don't. If you want your family to still own your Bitcoin in 50 years, think like King Ranch. Don't borrow against it in a way that forces a sale. Have a plan for taxes and inheritance. And make sure your kids understand why you're holding it, or one day they'll be the Singleton heirs.
