Is Privatized Financing the Future of Infrastructure?

When most people think of the word “infrastructure” they picture a road full of potholes or a massive highway overpass construction site. Moral of the story, it usually carries a negative connotation. What people don't realize, the way we finance and plan out infrastructure projects is outdated and complicated. But there are some new schools of thoughts that we dive into throughout this episode.What is infrastructure?Very few people discuss infrastructure in their own free time, it's usually because they got stuck in bad traffic or a road they usually take was closed. Infrastructure gets a bad rap and gets brought up by the masses every election year when a new proposition needs to be passed to fund a new road. What we don't realize is that infrastructure is all around us, it's our healthcare system, the first responders, the education system and even the government programs that benefit the area.How current projects are funded.The fast majority of projects are government funded, this is done through massive bonds and taxes. This leads to a massive amount of funding that COULD be available to be used in infrastructure projects. But there appears to be a gap in spending which leads to massive corrections in the form of huge proposals every few years to “catch up”.What is Privatized Funding?Leveraging private investment into massive projects provides a great opportunity for not only the investors but also the government. Speed for both parties is very important, quickly raising funds from private investors allows the government to quickly start the project. Speed also benefits the private investors as they are able to recoup their investments and realize their gains quickly.How does crypto and smart contracts play into this?You are just going to have to listen and find out for yourself. KEYWORDS SUMMARYinfrastructure, people, road, government, crypto, privatized, pay, smart contracts, funding, money, texas, fractional ownership, energy, case, set, build, idea, bit, construction, winterizeWant to be featured in an episode?
