Best Real Estate Investing Advice Ever With Joe Fairless

Pascal Wagner interviews Shawn Owen, CEO of Salt Lending, to unpack how crypto holders can responsibly leverage Bitcoin for liquidity without taking on unnecessary risk. Shawn shares his journey from traditional real estate investing through the 2008 financial crisis and into early Bitcoin adoption, explaining why lending against crypto mirrors familiar tools like HELOCs more than speculative margin trading. The conversation explores how Bitcoin-backed loans work, what happens during sharp drawdowns, and how Salt structures products to protect both borrowers and lenders. They also discuss why institutional adoption, regulation, and long-term credit infrastructure are critical to Bitcoin’s role as a serious financial asset.
