The Future is Off the (Block)Chain!

No, we aren’t still in the Crypto Dip-Toe series, and today’s topic is perhaps a good one for easing back out of the crypto world and onto other topics. In that series, we covered many facets of crypto and blockchain and why caution is warranted when interacting with those technologies and related investment opportunities. Still, I couldn’t agree more with Ms. Johnson’s general assessment. For years, I’ve been thinking about how cool it would be to have illiquid investments – commercial buildings, for example – sliced up into small pieces and owned by “the common folk.” In the blockchain world, that process is called “tokenization,” and maybe it will be a game changer.

But that future crypto “on-chain” solution is not what we’re talking about today. Because what I’ve learned lately is that the future is already here, and that future is…wait for it…securitization. And securitization is definitely off-the-chain! In the context of a classic Spaceballs scene, this realization gave me the feeling that THEN has become NOW, now.
