Platforms like Streitwise offer long term Investment Vehicles with Real Estate with solid cash flows, but they don’t come without their risks. This wasn’t a paid or promotional interview, I just wanted to bring on Streitwise to discuss the platform and Commercial Real Estate in more detail.

Bitcoin. Sound Money or just another Risk asset? Globally there is likely a Monetary Regime change coming… What we change into is anyone’s guess, but Bitcoin could (who knows… keep that in mind) be a contender.
Rob is a rational thinker here, which I appreciate, so it’s nice to have a level head when thinking about this stuff. In this episode we cover all things bitcoin, including the current market update, positioning, crypto v. bitcoin and his investment thesis.
