Under the gold standard, the value of a house declined over time due to depreciation. In those conditions, it was uncommon to see home loans with terms longer than 5 years. This prevented people from being underwater for the most part.

If you're the one renting, you still end up with nothing in this scenario, plus having to pay the fee. If it's a mortgage, the house gets sold off and you get whatever is left after the bank gets paid.

One thing that used to be common and is more fair is owner financing. You buy the house and pay the previous owner as if it were a mortgage. It's not very common now because most people need to get the full price for the house to pay off their mortgage.

To me, this just seems like a way to take advantage of people. What if you pay you house payment every month for years, then get laid off. You can't make the payment and get evicted. If you had taken a mortgate, you could sell the house and recover your equity. If you're doing rent-to-own, you're out on the street with nothing. Companies that do this with appliances actually try to get people to default because they can go rent the appliance to someone else. It's a little like a bait-and-switch.

You didn't specify the term (length) of the mortgage or the interest. This is important because it effects amortization rates. For example, if you take out that ammount for 30 years at 6% (common in the U.S. right now) you will make over $215k in payments (excluding taxes and insurance), but only have $50k in equity. If you sell your house, you end up with the same $50k as the bitcoin holder. Whether you come out ahead on the deal will depend on the rent paid by the hodlr, as well as local taxes and insurance.
The real error here is assuming Bitcoin will only 5x in 10 years. Hitting $250k by the end of next year is my base case for BItcoin. There are a number of positive headwinds that could push it much higher. In 10 years, I will be verry supprised if it's less than $1,000,000. Of course, I also be supprised if your house was still worth $300k.
(I did everythin in dollars becausse there is no Euro symbol on my keyboard)
Here's a mortgage calculator you can play with:

Agree.
I'd also like to point out that this applies more broadly. Having the goverment perpetrate 'charity' by force reduces the individual's ability to be charitable. It also tricks people into thinking they are being charitable by voting for the right people or simply paying their taxes. It effectively replaces charity with sloth. I'd call it evil, but I think mostly its just a missunderstanding.

You're missing the point (along with everyone replying to you.) It doesn't matter if it was the CIA, the NSA or just some rando. The whole point of Bitcoin is that you can verify that it works the way it claims to work. Arguing about who created it is pointless.

Anyone who understood Bitcoin back then was doing whatever it took to get their hands on it. People had hundreds of GPUs mining in their garages. There was a guy running a drop ship company at cost just to convert USD to BTC. It's also why there were so many rug pulls and hacks. MyBitcoin.com was a full-blown web wallet that spent years developing a product and gaining trust, only to suddenly dissapear with the BTC. Crazy times.

Inefficiency is a feature of the world we live in, not capitalism. Capatilism is a result of dealing with this limitation. We have limited time and resources and need to allocate them in the most efficient way possible. The best solution so far is to do this on a distributed basis using money and prices, aka a free market.
P.S. Capitalism is a term invented by communists to imply that we worship or are ruled by capital

Welcome to the wonderful world of public key cryptography. Your Nostr account is made of a mathematically related pair of very big numbers called a public key and a private key. You public key is publicly available and peole can use it to verify that messages and posts you send actually came from you. They can also use it to send you private messages. Your private key is used to sign messages and read private messages. Your private key is similar to a username/password. It effectively is your account. It can be used with any Nostr app to access your account, but make sure the app is trustworthy. Keep your private key secret and back it up.

You seem to have some very unrealistic expectations on what people should be paying for content. For comparison, consider the current mainstream model of advertising supported media. Advertising is sold through a variety of schemes these days. The most useful for this comparison is called CPM. CPM is 'cost per mille,' or cost per *thousand* impressions. It ranges anywhere from $0.24 - $10 depending on the media, target audience, advertising market, etc. A CPM of $5 is a pretty good (if somewhat arbitrary) starting point. At $5 CPM, a media publisher will get around $0.005 ( half of a cent) per impression. Most media will have several adds, so if we assume 4 adds per publication, that gives us a value of around $0.02 per viewer. Everyone won't zap, and I don't know the numbers, but we'll assume 20% until someone who tracks it corrects us. This means that you should ask for zaps of $0.10 (around 380 sats) to replace an add revenue of $4 CPM.
TL;DR - you can really only expect a value of a couple of cents per viewer. You will need a following of 10-100k to make a living creating high quality content.

Depends on how much you're trying to protect and from what. If you have a significant amount of btc, I would set up at least a 2 of 3 multi-sig. This protects against the lost or theft of a single key. The best thing to do is make a list of things you want to protect against (loss, theft, natural disaster, inheritance etc.) and then ask what is needed in each situation.
