The Property Market in the Greater Depression of 2020 #realestate #market

In March, CNBC sadly suggested that readers not buy gold. This was exactly the opposite of what the Loft Blog suggested to its readers because gold has always been the protective hedge of choice for investors during times of volatility. The Loft Blog was right. Since CNBC wrongly told everyone to hold off buying, gold has shot up from $1,600 to $1,900 per ounce. Even America’s strongest anti-gold investor Warren Buffett jumped onboard last month, buying gold stocks and selling banking and travel industry stocks. #gold

While CNBC was incorrectly warning the masses away from gold, the Loft Blog was repeatedly educating the public on the profitability of gold during crashy economic times. From our December 23, 2018 depression forecast to our April 13, 2020 post, we reminded of the prudence of physical gold.

Nationwide real estate has increased in froth over the past 6 months, as radical Fed policy and dumb money inflates property values artificially, creating bubbly pressures. Major U.S. cities were already deflating before the virus panic of 2020. Today, U.S. suburbs are being pumped up to overpriced pressure. Robin Hood newbies and easy credit create powerfully dangerous forces that will end up benefitting the few investors who know how to take advantage of stock market short positions (Hint: use a stock broker who is experienced in profitable stock market shorts). #bitcoin

Blockchain cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have proven the best return on investment over the last ten years. Even with this historic success, most still yawn or scratch their heads. This is evidence that Bitcoin is still just getting started, with $100,000 Bitcoin not too far off in the future. While Bitcoin brings its own challenges with volatility and tech glitches, the digital coin tends to have massively profitable run-ups, and provides the same kind of inflation hedge as physical gold (protection from radical Fed policy), but without gold’s transportation, storage and security expenses. Bitcoin provides the most powerful and efficient security against government capital controls and confiscation, making it among the best ways to transport large sums internationally. Because blockchain also performs many powerful functions that assist property transactions with authentication, verification and tokenization, the L.A. Loft Blog has teamed up with Entar to help real estate with our own bitcoin-based Entar Coin blockchain coin, with 50 Entar Coins free for a limited time to Loft Blog readers.

The Problems with Perma-Bulls and Perma-Bears

It’s difficult to find good market information, and harder to find good market calls and forecasts. That’s because most journalists don’t understand economics very well, and most market forecasters don’t understand market cycles. They’re stuck on being positive all the time (disastrous in bad times), while a few are stuck on being negative all the time, losing most of the time because most markets usually move up. That’s why the the Loft Blog provides well-measured forecasts that are the most accurate and actionable, always taking market cycles and changing economic pressures into consideration.

The Mystery of Cycles and the Seven Year Itch

Most people forget that the economy goes into a serious recession about once every 6-10 years. Our brains only remember important things for about 6 years. Perhaps that’s why so many report the “7 year itch.” They’ve forgotten the reasons why they went into the relationship to begin with. #outbreak

Predicted Pandemic

The Loft Blog accurately predicted the declining urban Los Angeles real estate market more than two years ago. Then, a year ago, we even predicted a “contagious disease that is transmitted by nasal droplets and respiratory secretions”. The prediction was accomplished not through the occult, but by research. That same kind of research allows accurate real estate market forecasts. Now, we are informing that the suburban single-family real estate market is next to decline in price as numerous corporate bankruptcies and capitulation eventually kick in. We recognize that most people don’t have the “cycle” gene. Most find it difficult to know when the winds are changing, and how to visualize the results. The Loft Blog is happy to step in and help with that. We get it right by studying all global financial markets over decades, accounting for cycles and trends, while keeping a focused daily eye, ear and hand on the local Downtown and Greater Los Angeles real estate market.

As the rich rapidly get richer while the poor get poorer, the L.A. loft market is bifurcating into winners and losers. Attractive expensive properties retain their value, while dismal depressed properties fall. As more urban real estate owners realize that they are losing equity, it’s time for astute investors to begin stealing some amazing lofts, fixing them up and making a big profit. More and more precarious loft owners who can not withstand more years of falling equity consider bailing out at a loss.

It’s our pleasure to answer reader questions. Below is additional information about some timely blockchain and cryptocurrency topics:

DeFi Yield Farming – Crypto Investors Claim to be Raking In 100%+ Annualized Yields, according to Forbes. This new blockchain derivative attracts investors into the world of crypto finance. It’s about borrowing blockchain capital or otherwise leveraging DeFi protocols and products to generate high rates of return. In some cases, more than 100% annualized yields have been achieved when factoring in “cashback” bonuses and incentives.  Twitter is among the most popular places to advertise, promote and educate about these new blockchain investment methods such as $COMP on @Instadapp.  One Twitter user, DeFi Dad, offers a $250 per month return on $10,000 investment.  These promises represent among the riskiest of investments, if you can call them that. The higher the offered ROI, combined with the fewest details and disclosures provided, the greater the risk of potential fraud and loss of investment capital.  For example:  If a Facebook user offers a bitcoin investment with a 200% return in one week, the investor/victim should suspect a ponzi scheme or other scam.

Stablecoin – Cryptocurrencies designed to minimize volatility of the price of the stablecoin, relative to some “stable” asset or basket of assets. A stablecoin can be pegged to a cryptocurrency, fiat money, or to exchange-traded commodities. Tether is the most popular stable coin, and is pegged to the dollar.  Stablecoins may offer the same or greater risk than other cryptocurrencies, but stable coins go down in value, while other coins usually have large upswings in value. Stablecoins also tend to be manipulated by a controlling company, and may lack outside auditing. When a stablecoin destabilizes, it may drop in value precipitously.

Ethereum – The second largest cryptocurrency platform by market capitalization, behind Bitcoin. It is a decentralized open source blockchain featuring smart contract functionality. Ether is the cryptocurrency generated by Ethereum miners as a reward for computations performed to secure the blockchain. Ethereum powers thousands of applications.

Entar Coin – The L.A. Loft Blog recently announced the launch of Entar Coin, designed to tokenize and fractionalize real estate, and even to provide rewards for L.A. Loft Blog readers and thousands of other uses. Get 100 free Entar Coins while supplies last:
