Prepare to challenge your understanding of the financial world as we journey together with our special guest, Lawrence Lepard. His expertise in gold and bitcoin performance in the face of a robust dollar will certainly stir your curiosity. Lawrence, a zealous bitcoin advocate, builds a compelling case for believing that bitcoin is a stronger and more effective form of money than gold. We dive into the implications of a strong dollar on gold and Bitcoin performance and discuss the potential disruption that inflation or deflation could cause.
Is it possible that the current stock market is an eerie reflection of the 1929 market? Lawrence presents an eye-opening perspective, warning of a potential market downturn that could cut values in half. We dissect the consequences of a fractional reserve system and the financialization of the economy. We also scrutinize the Federal Reserve’s ability to rescue the situation and question the reliability of the government’s inflation calculation.
Towards the end of our conversation, we explore a variety of subjects, including the 1987 market crash, technology stocks, the history of the banking system, and the potential for a sovereign debt crisis. Delving into the impact of the COVID-19 relief package on Treasury bonds and the government’s bankruptcy, we take a look at this from an investor’s perspective. This episode is set to revolutionize your understanding of the financial world, so buckle up.
