Summary

This week Bitcoin and property are going head-to-head Following on from last week’s episode, Rob & Rob are back to talk more about property vs Bitcoin, and where Bitcoin could potentially form part of your investment portfolio. Like any investment option there are pros and cons to everything. For example, Bitcoin and gold are defences against inflation whereas property is an attacker. So, is property still the safest investment or is it under threat to Bitcoin? Tune in to find out.   In the news This week’s news story comes from the Evening Standard and the headline reads, ‘UK’s ‘eye-popping’ pace of recovery stokes staff shortages and inflation fears’. This is from a survey that’s showing the strongest growth in business activity for 24 years! So basically, now that some lockdown restrictions have been lifted, more people have been going out spending. And, with the increase in demand but a shortage of staff, the hospitality industry fears a rise in inflation with talks of an £8 pint (at least in London) could be on its way.   Hub Extra For this week’s Hub Extra, our resource for you this week is simply YouTube to carry on your Bitcoin learning. It’s a great place to learn more about the topics we’ve touched on over the past couple of episodes so if you simply search for ‘getting started with Bitcoin’ that’s a good place to start. However, if you’re wanting something a little more advanced, take a look at BitBoy Crypto, CoinsKid or Altcoin Daily.   Let’s get social We’d love to hear what you think of this week’s Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a topic you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Property Podcast. The gloves are off. Property, the

0:07.2

longest established asset that we all know and love. Is it under threat? Is there a new

0:12.2

kid on the investment block in Bitcoin? This week they go head to head. And you might

0:17.2

be surprised at the conclusion that we get to.

Welcome to the Property Podcast where every Thursday property investors come to be informed

0:29.9

and inspired. Today we're picking up where we left off last week and talking about Bitcoin

0:34.0

in relation to property and where Bitcoin could form a part of some people's portfolios

0:39.7

and make sure you stick around to the end because in HubExster we've got loads more learning

resources for you as well. So this week's new story comes from the

0:47.6

evening standard and the headline reads UK's eye popping pace of recovery stoke staff shortages

0:53.6

and inflation fears. Rob what's the story behind the headline?

0:57.4

Well this is from a survey that is showing the strongest growth in business activity for

1:02.0

24 years. Basically lockdowns have been relaxing. People have gone out and been spending.

1:07.0

And what business owners are reporting is that because of this extra demand and because

of staff shortages this is stoking up inflationary pressure. In other words prices

talking here especially about hospitality but probably more broadly as well will be going

1:20.1

up across the board and Rob the most chilling line in this story is the £8 point at least

1:26.0

in London is on its way. I is very very scary. I mean I've paid over £6

1:31.0

to the day and then a very average pub so gosh that's very worrying indeed but not surprising

1:38.8

none of this is surprising and actually Rob I can see is in a not too distant future doing a

podcast around inflation because all this activity should ultimately result in wage inflation
