🎙️ Welcome to Episode 18 of The Honest Money Show

In this episode, Anja is joined by Dale Warburton, host of the Why Bitcoin Show and author of No Tenants, No Troubles. Dale makes a compelling case for why Bitcoin may be a superior long-term investment compared to real estate, particularly in the context of Australia’s increasingly unaffordable and policy-driven property market.

Dale unpacks the core thesis of his book, which challenges conventional wisdom around property investment and highlights the hidden risks of tenants, leverage, maintenance, regulation, and government intervention. He explains why property is a protected asset class, how this protection distorts markets, and why these dynamics create structural challenges for both investors and everyday Australians.

The conversation explores Bitcoin’s unique characteristics: true ownership, liquidity, portability, and fixed supply, and contrasts them with the realities of property ownership. Dale also dives into the legal distinctions between Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry, explaining why many crypto assets function more like speculative ventures than sound money.

Anja and Dale discuss how narratives within crypto have evolved, why many investors are becoming disillusioned with altcoins, and how Bitcoin continues to stand apart as digital gold. Dale also introduces his upcoming Bitcoin Will Starter Kit, designed to help individuals think through inheritance, custody, and long-term security of their Bitcoin.

Whether you’re a property investor, a Bitcoiner, or someone questioning traditional investment paths, this episode offers a clear-eyed, practical discussion on money, ownership, and the future of wealth.
