Although it is generally considered safe, there are historical risks associated with real estate as an investment, as demonstrated by the economic crisis of 2007-2009.

• The "Great Recession" or "Great Financial Crisis" (GFC) lasted from December 2007 to June 2009, an economic downturn that was the longest since World War II.
  
  
• The financial effects of the Great Recession were similarly outsized: Home prices fell approximately 30 percent, on average, from their mid-2006 peak to mid-2009, while the S&P 500 index fell 57 percent from its October 2007 peak to its trough in March 2009.
  
  
• The net worth of US households and nonprofit organizations fell from a peak of approximately $69 trillion in 2007 to a trough of $55 trillion in 2009, or a loss of 14 trillion ($14,000,000,000,000) in net worth. For a typical U.S. household, making $50,000 per year, to earn enough to pay off a $1 trillion debt would take 20 million years.

"Bitcoin is a bank in cyberspace, run by incorruptible software, offering a global, affordable, simple and secure savings account to billions of people that don’t have the option or desire to run their own hedge fund."

— Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman and Co-founder of Strategy₿ (formerly MicroStrategy).
