About this episode
Real estate is the preferred investment asset for speculators in Australia and in many parts of the world. But is the juice worth the squeeze?
From my perspective, absolutely not. The risk-reward is simply not there relative to Bitcoin.
In this episode I outline 13 reasons why I think it's worth considering selling your investment property and buying bitcoin instead.
As always, you do you. I don't care what you do with your own money and NOTHING I say should be construed as financial advice. But I don't say anything I don't believe and implement myself.
Will I perhaps buy a villa in Spain or a winery in South Australia...maybe. But those aren't investments, they're what I would call lifestyle assets. Very different.
I can however say this, I'll never own an investment property in my life. Here's why.
