1. what is real vision (
@RealVision):
Real Vision describes itself as a “financial knowledge and education platform” that gives “members the knowledge, tools, and network for their financial journeys.”
It offers in‑depth video interviews, analysis, long‑form content around macroeconomics, markets, crypto, emerging assets.
Started with the founders intention to provide more than bite‑sized headlines: no agenda, no editorial bias, freedom to say what they really think.
2. history & founding:
Real Vision was founded in 2014 by
@RaoulGMI known as Raoul Pal and Grant Williams.
It’s based in New York (Chelsea, NYC) according to job listings, though the corporate brochure mentions Cayman Islands location for tax/structural reasons.
Over time it’s grown from video interviews into a broader media platform (podcasts, written content, crypto‑verticals).
3. what they offer / features:
• Video interviews & deep‑dives with influential investors, economists, strategists.
• Specialized verticals: e.g., crypto series (“Real Vision Crypto”).
• Membership/subscription model: access to premium content, archives, tools.
• The stated mission: Knowledge × Tools × Network = Success.
NB: Aimed at serious investors, not just casual market watchers.
4. why people like it / what the vibes are:
• It differentiates vs typical financial media sound‑bites: you get long form, thoughtful, less hype‑driven.
• Good for those wanting to go deeper: macro themes, future of money/crypto, structural shifts.
• Network effect: you see guests and commentators you might not easily access elsewhere.
5. what to watch out for / drawbacks:
• Price: subscription may be higher than casual finance content; you need to justify the depth.
• Volume & noise: deep content means you’ll spend more time than a 5‑minute clip; may not suit everyone.
NB: Not a substitute for doing your own research; content is high‑level, strategic, not always tactical.
6. what kinds of people it’s good for:
• Investors with medium to long‑term horizon interested in macro trends, crypto, alternative assets.
• Professionals who can benefit from deep‑dive interviews rather than headline news.
• Learners who want to elevate their understanding of markets and money beyond basic stock picking.
NB: NOT as ideal if you just want quick trade tips or day trading alerts, this is more structural, big‑picture.
7. how to make the most of it:
• Set aside time for the long‑form content (interviews tend to be 30‑60+ minutes).
• Use the archive: browse past themes (emerging markets, commodities, bitcoin) to build context.
• Cross‑check ideas with your own research: use
@RealVision for insight, not sole decision engine.
• Engage with the network: discussions, community, commentary can add value beyond videos
8. what’s new / recent directions:
• They have a growing crypto vertical, indicating the shift to include digital assets more formally.
• Expanding content formats: podcasts, interactive discussions, deeper niche topics.
• Global reach growing: catering to an international audience, not just US/UK finance.
Tldr: If I were to boil it down:
@RealVision is high‑end financial media, deeper than surface level, aimed at serious thinkers in markets, macro, crypto, and alternative assets. If you’re willing to invest time and pay for the subscription, you’ll likely get value; if you just want quick updates or trade tips, the fit may be less perfect.
