Thinking about @bchesky’s now deleted thread on RWAs and how there’s real market room for this idea.
What if we combined Opendoor’s effortless real estate experience with Robinhood’s clean and intuitive trading app to build a truly accessible REIT marketplace?
This would open the door for regular investors, the ones who don’t sit behind Bloomberg terminals or crypto dashboards, to easily buy fractional shares in diversified real estate portfolios, including hotel and apartment buildings. It could tie directly into the Airbnb model but sidesteps many of the legal and regulatory hurdles individual hosts face by operating at an institutional scale.
It solves the core problems: illiquid assets, high entry barriers, complicated fees, and the need for deep expertise. No more dealing with landlords, maintenance, or slow traditional processes.
A practical example is the rate spread - investors could earn solid yields well above savings accounts or basic dividends, while builders and operators get faster, cheaper capital to develop more projects. Everyone wins.
Retail investors benefit enormously with simple, liquid exposure to strong performing real estate without the usual headaches or gatekeeping.
This week at Goldman Sachs’ Digital Assets Conference in London, I discussed Bitcoin, Digital Credit, and the future of capital markets. Extraordinary venue. Exceptional audience.
@SawyerMerritt@Tesla Imagine all other models includes the Semi, Roadster and Cybercab at the very least.
A lot of growth not captured in this future outlook.
@Cyborg21@stephen_taylor@elonmusk Apologies for the confusion! I hope you’re doing well.
The video was incredibly touching. I watched it multiple times and shared it with my friends.
I hope the performance and UX of Neuralink becomes increasingly intuitive for you.
@OmarOuqfi@Tesla_AI@aelluswamy When I visited Montreal, it was ignoring those signs and dedicated lane markings all the time.. Happens in downtown Toronto too but much less frequently.
