Not another real estate investor talking about crypto'. I get it. I'm a real estate investor first and foremost - but it just so happens that my brother Marc Boiron is one of the greatest minds in the blockchain/cryptocurrency space. Since I've never been interested in crypto myself, I sat down with him and we discussed why someone investing in real estate would be interested in this. This is an excellent episode for anyone interested in learning about crypto without the hype or the sales pitch, and an excellent episode for anyone in the crypto space to share with their real estate or traditional investment friends as an introduction

 

Listen now to learn more about cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and what you need to know before you make decisions to invest in them!

Quotables

 

“Unless every government in every country can collectively do that at once, the Bitcoin network is going to continue to exist.”

 

“The original cryptocurrency really served two purposes – potentially money and potentially the stored value, but frankly, there’s so many cryptocurrencies and that’s not what they all do.”

 

“As much as it is, in my opinion, the area that actually gives us the brightest future when it comes to security and potential, it’s also the area that has the most scams you could possibly imagine right now.”
