#80 - Raoul Pal (English): From Goldman Sachs to Crypto Guru- Why Real Estate Is NOT an Asset, Bitcoin as a Life Raft, and Why You Have 5 Years to Unf*ck Your Future Before AI Changes Everything

1 hour 17 minutes

On episode 80 of ACCIÓN! Podcast, I have a special guest for you. Raoul Pal, CEO & Co-Founder of Real Vision, Global Macro Investor, and EXPAAM-Exponential Age Asset Management welcomes us to his home in the Cayman Islands.

📈 Discover how to transform your financial future with Raoul Pal, one of the most influential thinkers in the world of investments and cryptocurrencies. In this episode, we cover:

• 🌎 The broken financial system: How global debt and money printing are impacting your life

• 🏡 The truth about real estate: Why it may not be the best financial asset

• 💡 Cryptocurrencies and technology: The opportunities in Bitcoin, Ethereum & the digital future

• ⏳ 5 years to unf*ck your future: A plan to get ahead before the economy undergoes radical changes

• 🔥 Quality of life and experiences: Raoul’s best advice for living a fulfilled life

💡 Learn how to invest in global trends, escape the debt trap, and take control of your financial destiny.

Raoul will share with us a more personal side, the human behind the CEO, his genesis in finance, his parents' influence to adopt travel as a lifestyle, and his passion for music, rock, David Bowie, and art. Also, Raoul will break down the history of why we are struggling financially and why this all started after World War I- A debt cycle that we haven't been able to escape, and that's part of his macro thesis called "The Everything Code".

Finally, once Raoul lays out the problem (WE ARE F*CKED), he presents a solution, the crypto life raft. There are 2 secular trends that are based by years of data, charts, and Metcalfe's Law: We are becoming more digital by any minute that goes by. This started with the internet, then blockchain, now it's AI- soon to be ASI (Artificial Sentient Intelligence), and around the corner is Quantum Computing... Lots to digest. This is one for the books, I hope you enjoy it!
