# Allocate Capital to Hard Assets

## Action

**Sweep business profits and savings into scarce, hard assets like Bitcoin and real estate.**

## Outcome

Protection of purchasing power against monetary inflation and capture of the debasement premium.

## Rationale

To protect purchasing power from inevitable fiat currency debasement ([[concept-debasement-trade]], [[claim-fiat-continuous-printing]]), investors must move capital out of cash and into scarce, hard assets like prime real estate and Bitcoin.

This action is the Step-2 operationalization of [[framework-wealth-creation-preservation]] — once Step 1 (active wealth creation) has produced profits, those profits must be **swept**, not stored as cash.

## How To Execute

1. **Default destination = Bitcoin and prime real estate.**
2. Apply [[action-evaluate-opportunity-cost]] before any deviation.
3. Use [[action-borrow-against-assets]] to extract liquidity later without selling.

## Implicit Assumptions

- Money supply expansion (M2) continues at ~8%+ annual rate (consistent with [[claim-true-inflation-rate]]).
- Bitcoin and prime real estate retain their scarcity properties.
- Holder has the behavioral discipline to ride out volatility ([[contrarian-volatility-is-good]]).
