Assuming a Bitcoin CAGR of 100% and static house prices, it would take approximately 11 years for someone earning the federal minimum wage and saving 1% of their income in Bitcoin to afford the average U.S. house ($503,800). However, with a more realistic Bitcoin CAGR of 50%, or accounting for house price inflation and taxes, this timeline extends to 13–16 years. Bitcoin’s volatility and economic factors make this a speculative estimate, but it highlights the potential for significant growth in savings through Bitcoin compared to traditional methods.
