"What possible reason would printed housing become the norm?"
Read this thread and keep reading threads like this for some possible reasons.

"And why do you think it would be eternal and unchanging, are you printing it from Adamantium?"
I wouldn't think it and I'm not printing it. You're saying it. But I can think of chain of ownership data, for one thing, that might need physical updating over time. Also maybe data on structural changes. That is unless and until people might decide that dis-integrating then rebuilding a structure and keeping a cyber record is quicker and cheaper than a lot of time-consuming paper shuffling.
Is the current payment system so flawed that we need a "blockchain" payment system? Sure, it is unwise to buy illegal drugs and child pornography with traceable payments offered by checking accounts and credit cards. Why is blockchain currency needed to pay a utility bill or a mortgage?
This B.S. currency started as a way to buy products on the darknet. Why is it needed for regular commerce? It has FAILED as a currency due to its volatility even for illegal commerce. Why would a legitimate person use it? What benefit does a volatile currency offer the average man?
It's less about legality and more about independence. You realize of course that the US dollar, still the world's reserve currency, has zero value in itself as fiat money, right? It's what is behind it that gives it value - the US government. I have a 10 trillion dollar bill at home - from Zimbabwe - that was printed during their hyperinflation days. I bet that someone there would have preferred Bitcoin over their national money.
Right now, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile, because they don't have the same backing or trust behind them. The only way this will change is through adoption, which means more people using them, which means more people trusting them. It may or may not happen. Time will tell.
Where I see Bitcoin in the short term is being used for cross-border international payments. Right now it's expensive to do so, and Bitcoin has no "nation" that underwrites it. The blockchain technology still doesn't lend itself to a large volume of transactions.

It's been a long time since I've seen a reply with less coherence and actual meaning.
3-D printing has the potential to be useful in many fields. Housing construction has not so far proven to be one of them. Traditional methods are and will remain far easier and less expensive into the foreseeable future.

They plan to ruin our currencies so that we only have digital currencies so they can track our every purchase, and hence our every move, which is very bad.
These hundreds of "cryptocurrencies" aren't being used for anything at all. People are just speculating on nonsense.
