Leon Wankum: The Real Estate Reckoning
“Bitcoin was built for chaos. Real estate was not.”
On this week’s podcast, I sat down with Leon Wankum.
Leon, a veteran real estate developer speaks about his journey from property and construction into Austrian economics and Bitcoin. He challenges the idea that real estate is a safe store of value, arguing that its monetary premium is misplaced in a digital economy.
In this conversation Leon contrasts the fragility of leveraged property markets with Bitcoin’s fixed supply, warning that utility-based pricing could upend the global financial system. From the demonetization of real estate to the rise of service-oriented housing and Bitcoin-based innovation, he envisions a future where property is valued for use, not speculation — and where Bitcoin strengthens resilience, reshapes development, and supports the growth of free cities.
Enjoy the conversation.
