How Blockchain Will Reshape Real Estate, Mortgages, and Money Forever | Thomas Gaffney

In this episode, I sat down with Thomas Gaffney to unpack what’s really happening as blockchain and real-world asset tokenization quietly reshape real estate, finance, and ownership. We talked about how mortgages are moving on-chain, why transparency could prevent another 2008-style collapse, and how people may soon pay mortgages and car loans with crypto. We also explored Bitcoin as digital gold, fractional ownership of massive assets like apartment buildings, and why blockchain’s biggest impact will mostly happen behind the scenes. This conversation completely reframed how I see the future of money, real estate, and risk.
