616: Making Money in The Metaverse and The Future Of Digital Real Estate w/Ryan Pineda

If you’ve heard of digital real estate , there’s a good chance you’ve watched one of Ryan Pineda ’s videos. Ryan is a leading figure in the world of real estate investing not only in the Las Vegas, Nevada area but throughout the interwebs. He got started flipping homes and eventually scaled his business up to 100 flips per year ! Since then he’s branched off into multiple different real estate-related business ventures, but his newest one may be the most revolutionary. During the lockdowns of 2020, Ryan began to research blockchain , cryptocurrency , and decentralized finance . He saw the way that the world was moving and realized it would only be a short amount of time until real estate transactions were regularly done on the blockchain. This dip into DeFi piqued his interest, so he began researching, investing, and putting more of his time into virtual and digital real estate research. Ryan makes a strong case as to why most real estate services will move over to a blockchain model , and those that don’t will be left in the dust. Most of what Ryan preaches isn’t just speculation—it’s happening right now in the real world. If you want to get ahead of the curve, or just finally understand what an NFT is , Ryan is the guy to listen to.
