The "What is Money?" Show

Leon Wankum joins Robert Breedlove to make the case that real estate and Bitcoin are complementary assets, and that Bitcoin is the one variable that never changes, in a monetary system where everything else does.

They cover why commercial real estate was the best performing asset class for fifty years and why that generational run is now reversing, how German tax law lets him sell property tax free after ten years and Bitcoin after one, why his peers get triggered by him and why that is a signal, the Tesla lesson for German real estate, and his call that Bitcoin will be the first quadrillion dollar asset while houses return to being a place to live.

Willem Middelkoop joins Robert Breedlove in Amsterdam to make the case for hard assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin, and to weigh which one works best as money. He predicted the 2008 crisis and has spent the decades since positioning for the monetary reset he believes is now underway.

They cover why central banking is a pyramid scheme built on gold, why central banks will likely buy Bitcoin quietly, whether gold will become worthless if it can be made in a lab, why gold and Bitcoin are complements rather than competitors, how to position your portfolio for every situation, and why the exit door through Bitcoin is shrinking.

Andrew Sanchez tells a story that runs from childhood dysfunction and ADHD medication to chronic pain, addiction, homelessness, and his journey from anti capitalist to anarcho capitalist.

He shares how radical honesty and a judge's mercy opened the door to mental health court, how a four leaf clover landed at his feet the day his record was cleared, and how typing what is money into YouTube led him to the show and to Bitcoin. They also cover the cobra effect, Rene Girard and mimetic desire, the difference between logic and reason, a priori versus a posteriori reasoning, and why he who has a why can bear any how.

I recently joined Lonnie Gordon Ogulnick on The OG Money Podcast, and we covered quite a bit of ground, from what's happening with Bitcoin to my personal experiences with peptides, testosterone, and health optimization.
We explored the importance of long-term thinking in Bitcoin, and why I choose to hold it directly rather than chase leveraged exposure or attempt to time the market. I opened up about my journey with peptides and testosterone, what compelled me to experiment, and what I've learned firsthand. We closed on personal responsibility, the discipline of training, nutrition, and recovery, and how risk is woven into every meaningful decision.
