    Creating Wealth Real Estate Investing with Jason Hartman
    2395: The Scam of Inflation & The Great Alchemy: Debt, AI, and the Future of Wealth

    Creating Wealth Real Estate Investing with Jason Hartman

    Jason announced his relinquishment of the title "richest homeless man in the world" after nearly two years of nomadic living, during which he traveled the world twice. He discussed the State of the Union speech's focus on housing affordability and the government's approach to supporting existing homeowners without lowering property prices. Jason explored the impact of tariffs on the economy, suggesting that they encourage efficiency and competition among businesses, particularly with China. He emphasized the importance of a balanced playing field in international trade and expressed support for reasonable government oversight. He ended with an invitation to attend Empowered Investor Live in Orange County, California, in May, and a reminder about the monthly masterclasses held on the second Wednesday of each month. Jason expounds on the financial advantages of real estate investing, specifically focusing on how long-term mortgages act as a hedge against inflation and taxes. By utilizing leverage, investors can achieve a "negative" real interest rate because the value of the debt they owe decreases as the purchasing power of the dollar drops. He argues that the United States offers a unique environment for this strategy due to subsidized 30-year fixed-rate loans and high market transparency compared to international options. Additionally, the discussion addresses modern concerns like artificial intelligence, suggesting that technology will ultimately drive economic abundance and increased housing demand rather than market collapse. Finally, Jason highlights a significant supply shortage, predicting that even minor drops in interest rates will trigger a massive influx of buyers, further pushing up property values. #RealEstateInvesting #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #Mortgages #AI #WealthBuilding #TaxBenefits #Leverage #AssetProtection #HousingMarket #InterestRates #FinancialFreedom #MarketTrends #HousingInventory #USRealEstate #EconomicAbundance #PassiveIncome #CPI #LockInEffect #PropertyInvesting #Macroeconomics Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 0:00 World's richest homeless person 4:03 Trump's state of the union address and tariffs 12:33 Join us EmpoweredInvestorLive.com/ 14:18 Join us for FREE Masterclass every second Wednesday of each month  JasonHartman.com/Wednesday   Jason's Masterclass Presentation 14:39 The real cost to RENT money 16:42 IIDD 18:59 1984 21:16 Q & A   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

    In this video, we're talking about some of the latest developments in the Logan Paul v. Coffeezilla defamation lawsuit (related very closely to the CryptoZoo class action lawsuit against Logan Paul and the others who created the CryptoZoo NFT). Coffeezilla is requesting to move the case from federal court in San Antonio, TX to Austin, TX so it can be litigated more closely with the CryptoZoo class action case. On the way, he revealed some Logan Paul texts that appear to confirm Logan Paul's true motives in suing Coffeezilla. Playlist on the controversy: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbQVtXJ42xmgK-q-z8tbezUbVTHPMGmXc CONTEXT: After Coffeezilla exposed Sam Bankman-Fried and the collapse of FTX, he turned his sights on Logan Paul's crypto NFT project, Cryptozoo.

    JPMorgan called crypto a scam for years. Now the same bank is at the center of a $5 billion lawsuit over alleged debanking. President Donald Trump is suing JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon, claiming the bank shut down his accounts after January 6. In recent court filings, JPMorgan acknowledged that the accounts were closed — reigniting the national debate around “debanking” and financial access. Tonight on On The Chain, we break down: • What JPMorgan admitted in court • The details of Trump's $5B lawsuit • What “debanking” really means • Why centralized banking power is back in focus • What this means for XRP and the broader crypto market For years, crypto advocates — especially the XRP community — have warned about centralized financial control. If access to banking can be removed at will, what does that mean for everyone else? Is this just a lawsuit… or the beginning of a larger financial power shift? Let's break it down.
