Bitcoin vs Property Have We Been Investing in the Wrong Thing

Property has been a core wealth-building strategy in the UK for decades, familiar, tangible and widely trusted.

But over the same period, Bitcoin has gone from an obscure experiment to a globally traded asset attracting institutional attention. Its volatility makes headlines, but so do its long-term returns.

In this episode, we sit down with James Dewar, Partner at Bridge2Bitcoin and founder of Berkshire Bitcoiners, to start at the beginning: what Bitcoin is, why it exists, and why investors are paying attention.

This conversation focuses on fundamentals and context, especially for property investors who want to understand how Bitcoin compares as an asset class.

In this episode we cover:

What Bitcoin is in plain English

Why it has become more widely adopted

The risks investors should understand

How returns compare with property and gold

Who is buying Bitcoin today

Whether beginners are already too late

Part Two will be out tomorrow were we discuss moves into strategy, market cycles and how investors think about risk.
