Lyn Alden warns that BIP 110 is unlikely to curb spam and instead mostly rearranges non-monetary data, raising the risk of a minority fork attempt that could split the Bitcoin chain.Lyn Alden is a leading macro analyst and Bitcoiner who examines how fiscal dominance now overrides traditional monetary policy tools.She breaks down why high debt-to-GDP ratios prevent rate hikes from taming inflation, how broad money supply still expands 5-8 percent annually, the limits of semiconductor and AI valuations, and the structure of a new Bitcoin-backed permanent capital vehicle for acquiring cash-flowing businesses.Timestamps:02:14 — BIP 110 Won't Stop Spam04:56 — Bitcoin Faces August Chain Split Risk12:12 — Bitcoin in Bottom Decile of Cycle15:37 — Nothing Stops This Fiscal Train18:04 — Why Volcker Can't Work Today22:02 — Higher Rates Won't Break the System24:44 — Net Issuance Matters, Not Gross Refi27:34 — Fed Balance Sheet Stays Flattish32:56 — Broad Money Grows Despite Flat Fed36:05 — US Money Supply Growth Hits 5-8%38:51 — Fiscal Dominance: Who Wins the Money?41:50 — Why Semiconductors Print Money45:13 — Software Stocks: Value Trap or Opportunity?47:31 — AI Is the New Dot-Com Bubble52:00 — Orange Juice: Bitcoin-Backed Business Buyer57:57 — Permanent Capital Vehicle, Not a Fund59:39 — Founders Keep Equity Upside After SaleLinks:  X: https://x.com/LynAldenContactWebsite: https://www.lynalden.com/0BIP 110 debate ("motte-and-bailey" critique): https://x.com/LynAldenContact/status/2078599151043162159 Stephan Livera links:Follow me on X: @stephanliveraSubscribe to the podcastSubscribe to Substack

Lyn Alden raised $40M to launch Orange Juice, a holding company that buys cash-flowing businesses and layers Bitcoin on top, not another pure-play treasury bet. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number.

Rather than build another pure-play Bitcoin treasury stock, Orange Juice buys cash-flowing, unglamorous businesses and layers a Bitcoin treasury on top at the parent-company level. Lyn Alden, cofounder of Orange Juice and a partner at Ego Death Capital, frames it as a countercyclical alternative to procyclical treasury companies, and she does not spare Strategy from criticism. She compares Orange Juice's structure to Berkshire Hathaway and argues Strategy let its dollar reserve fall too far, weighing in as Laura invokes Michael Saylor's 'sell a kidney' line and STRC's slide to near $85 against its $100 target. She also addresses BIP-110's inscription debate and Bitcoin's quantum computing threat, questioning whether the community's resistance to change is a strength or a liability.

Bitcoin sentiment is at the lowest level Lyn Alden says she has ever seen — just as Kevin Warsh's Fed appears to be preparing a new inflation narrative. In this episode, we break down the collision between Bitcoin, the Federal Reserve, inflation, AI, debt, liquidity, capital flows, and the broken dollar system. If nothing is coming to save Bitcoin, that may be exactly the point.SPONSORS

Has Bitcoin finally hit bottom? This week, one of the most trusted names in macro gives her honest read on where we are — and where we go from here. Lyn Alden returns to cut through the noise: why hard assets like Bitcoin and gold have been left behind, and why she says no rescue is coming — Bitcoin has to prove itself on its own. She also breaks down the volatility around Strategy's digital credit and the protocol fight dividing the Bitcoin community. We discuss: Whether Bitcoin has hit its floor — and the lowest sentiment Lyn's ever seen Why Bitcoin proxies and leveraged products can't replace real, self-custodied Bitcoin What actually happened with Strategy's $STRC — and how worried holders should be Her grounded take on the protocol wars, and why the "existential threat" talk is overblown Why the big money print everyone's waiting for still isn't coming Follow Lyn Alden on X (@LynAldenContact) and at lynalden.com —— Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  —— Speed is my go-to Bitcoin Lightning wallet!

Bitcoin sentiment is weak as price revisits the “58K gang” zone and breaks below key long-term chart levels John argues the four-year cycle thesis is being tested again, but if it explains downside, it should also imply potential upside later Long-term holder supply is at record highs, suggesting conviction buyers are accumulating while weaker ETF-driven holders sell Lyn Alden's analysis frames Bitcoin's core value as unchanged: debasement-resistant, permissionless global value transfer AI is pulling investor attention and capital away from Bitcoin in the short term, especially as AI stocks dominate market enthusiasm The hosts debate whether AI could eventually increase Bitcoin demand through agents, Lightning payments, stablecoins, and mining/data-center convergence Strategy's preferred shares, especially Stretch, are under stress, raising questions about leverage, market confidence, and Saylor's capital structure CBDCs, stablecoins, age verification, VPN restrictions, and surveillance laws are discussed as signs of a growing digital panopticon The episode closes with reflections on Alan Greenspan, Fed communication, purposeful obfuscation, and why hard money remains relevant ► For high-net-worth individuals and corporations seeking to build generational wealth with Bitcoin, Swan Private is your guide ✔ https://www.swanbitcoin.com/private?utm_campaign=private&utm_medium=sponsorship&utm_source=podcast&utm_content=swan_signal_live ► Secure your bright orange future with the Swan IRA today!

Brady and John open with World Cup talk, including Canada's first-ever World Cup win, the U.S. matchup, and how the tournament is challenging global stereotypes about America Bitcoin sentiment is notably weak, with price around $62K and many market participants expecting a four-year-cycle-style bottom later in 2026 John outlines possible causes of the sell-off, including whale selling, miner selling, AI stock flows, and reflexive belief in the four-year cycle The hosts compare this drawdown to 2022, noting that today's decline feels less explainable than the Fed tightening, inflation, and crypto collapses of the prior bear market They discuss Kevin Warsh's first Fed meeting, unchanged rates, mixed dot plots, and the possibility that inflation remains above target until 2028 Lyn Alden's CNBC appearance is highlighted, especially her view that major balance sheet reduction is unlikely and that much of Bitcoin's leverage-driven pain may already be behind us BlackRock's new Bitcoin income ETF is discussed as another sign that Wall Street continues building Bitcoin products, even if the product may not suit every investor Strategy's Stretch preferred stock volatility is analyzed, with John arguing the situation is serious but not existential for Strategy SpaceX's IPO and 18,712 BTC holdings are discussed as another example of unique founder-led companies holding Bitcoin Swan announces RBX, Real Bitcoin Exchange, a product designed to help ETF holders, especially GBTC holders, exchange shares for real Bitcoin in a tax-efficient, in-kind process ► For high-net-worth individuals and corporations seeking to build generational wealth with Bitcoin, Swan Private is your guide ✔ https://www.swanbitcoin.com/private?utm_campaign=private&utm_medium=sponsorship&utm_source=podcast&utm_content=swan_signal_live ► Secure your bright orange future with the Swan IRA today!

Is gold the only form of money that has truly stood the test of time? In this episode of the WS Podcast, Woj explores the powerful ideas from *The Secret History of Gold by Dominic Frisby, uncovering how gold has shaped civilizations, and why it may still be the ultimate store of value today. From ancient empires to modern financial systems, gold has remained a constant. But what changed when we moved to fiat money? In this episode, we break down: why gold has been used as money for thousands of years the difference between hard money and fiat currency how money printing and inflation erode purchasing power the hidden flaws in CPI and inflation measurement the Cantillon Effect and who really benefits from money creation We also explore practical strategies for protecting your wealth in today's system, including: investing in physical gold and silver understanding self-custody and financial sovereignty building long-term and generational wealth Gold is not just a commodity, it's a form of stored energy, time, and value that has outlasted every paper currency in history. If you want to understand how money really works, why inflation is unavoidable in fiat systems, and how to protect your financial future, this episode is essential.

Today, Cem Karsan sits down with Lyn Alden for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces quietly shaping markets beneath the surface. From the persistence of fiscal dominance to the role of populism, demographics, and global power shifts, they explore why the current macro regime may be far harder to reverse than many expect. The discussion moves beyond economics into politics, examining how inequality, globalization, and technological change feed into inflation dynamics and policy decisions. They also tackle the future of the dollar, the risks to its global dominance, and the complex role of crypto in a system defined by power, incentives, and control.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Cem on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00:00 - Introduction to the episode and trading floor setting00:01:28 - Cem introduces Lyn Alden and frames the macro discussion00:02:23 - Lyn outlines her framework and the rise of fiscal dominance00:05:31 - Multipolar world and shifting reserve currency dynamics00:06:20 - Why debt cycles lead to persistent fiscal expansion00:13:42 - Debate on debt, modern monetary theory, and dollar privilege00:18:29 - Populism, inequality, and political drivers of inflation00:24:25 - Trade deficits, globalization, and domestic consequences00:30:20 - What happens if dollar dominance weakens00:34:16 - Comparing today to the 1940s vs the 1970s00:41:47 - Democracy, authoritarian drift, and rule of law00:44:17 - AI, productivity, and inflationary policy responses00:56:08 - Lyn's views on Bitcoin, stablecoins, and crypto markets01:03:34 - Debate on the long term sustainability of crypto01:09:42 - Closing thoughts on power, money, and the macro outlookCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 061: Macro Legends on Oil, the Breaking US Treasury Market, and the Dollar Crisis No One Is Ready For | Luke Gromen & Lyn AldenIran doesn't have to beat the US military. They just have to beat the US Treasury market — and that changes everything you think you know about this conflict.The Strait of Hormuz is the chokepoint for roughly 20% of the world's oil supply, and right now it sits at the center of a geopolitical storm with consequences that reach far beyond the Middle East. In this deep-dive interview, we break down exactly how a Hormuz disruption cascades into oil price spikes, supply chain breakdowns, and a inflation surge that puts the US dollar's reserve status under unprecedented pressure. You'll understand why this conflict is as much a financial war as a military one, what it means for energy markets in 2026, and why Bitcoin's role as a neutral, non-sovereign asset has never been more relevant. Whether you're trying to protect your wealth or just make sense of the headlines, this conversation gives you the framework to think clearly when the noise is loudest.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 – Iran Doesn't Need to Beat the Military, Just the Treasury 1:10 – Episode Intro with Luke Gromen & Lyn Alden 1:25 – Oil Prices, Futures Curve & Hormuz Crisis 2:10 – Will Hormuz Opening Fix Everything? 3:53 – Mid-May Deadline & Escalating Impact 8:02 – Supply Chain Fragility & Non-Linear Breaks 14:14 – The Upside-Down Global Economy (You Can't Print Oil) 15:31 – Food Shortages & Global South Risks 18:35 – Inflation, Money Printing & Debt Spiral 20:04 – Why the US Must Print Money in 2026 24:10 – Treasury Market Stress & Buybacks 32:11 – Japan, China & Dollar Pressure 43:52 – Why Are We Really in This Conflict? 1:09:12 – Petrodollar Under Pressure & Gold-for-Oil 1:13:59 – Best & Worst Case Scenarios 1:26:54 – Bitcoin's Role Right Now 1:32:23 – Final Thoughts & Where to Find Luke & LynFollow Luke:X: @LukeGromenWebsite & Research: fftt-llc.comNewsletter: fftt-treerings.comFollow Lyn:X: @LynAldenContactWebsite & Free Newsletter: lynalden.com

Durante décadas, la inflación fue tratada como un fenómeno cíclico. Pero lo que estamos viviendo no es solo inflación: es debasement monetario estructural. En este episodio analizamos el concepto de debasement trade popularizado por Lyn Alden en diciembre de 2025 y exploramos cómo el desacople del dólar del oro en 1971 marcó el inicio de una erosión progresiva del poder adquisitivo. Revisamos: Qué es el interest-adjusted debasement Cómo el balance de la Federal Reserve dejó de reducirse Por qué los bonos del Tesoro tuvieron su peor período moderno La divergencia histórica entre el S&P 500 y el oro Qué significa operar bajo un régimen de dominancia fiscal Por qué puedes estar en máximos nominales y perdiendo riqueza real No es un episodio alarmista. Es un análisis estructural sobre cómo leer el ciclo monetario y cómo posicionar un portafolio en un entorno de erosión gradual. La pregunta no es si el debasement continuará, La pregunta es si tu portafolio está preparado.

Is the Bitcoin four-year cycle officially dead or are we misreading this entire market? In this conversation, we break down why Bitcoin topped at $126K instead of $150K, whether OG holders are really dumping, and why this cycle felt fundamentally different. We discuss weak retail demand, the absence of a true alt season, AI and silver stealing speculative attention, and why stablecoins may be quietly reshaping global adoption. We also cover Bitcoin's strange correlation to software stocks, why bullish news hasn't moved price, and what could actually trigger the next cycle. Is this just consolidation before the next expansion or a structural shift in how Bitcoin trades?

Lyn Alden is back on THE Bitcoin Podcast to break down why this cycle left so many of us feeling like we should be more excited than we are. We get into why $126K, despite being a new all-time high, fell short of what the fundamentals suggested was possible, and what that tells us about where retail and sovereign demand actually stands. We also dig into the macro picture, the Fed, the new chair, Bitcoin vs Quantum narrative, AI as a deflationary force, why DOGE couldn't actually move the needle on government spending, and what geopolitical catalyst might finally wake the world up to Bitcoin. Plus, Lyn shares something completely new — her debut sci-fi novel, "The Stolguard incident" which is darker and more human than you'd expect, and honestly one of the best things I've read in years.

Today's guest has long been warning that the US -- as well as many other countries -- is now in an era of fiscal dominance.That's when fiscal spending gets out of control, like a runaway train.It becomes so large that it becomes the primary determinant of economic growth and inflation -- steamrolling over any impact of monetary policy or private sector lending.Today's guest is famous for predicting "Nothing stops this train"But can its momentum be slowed, buying the system more time?And does AI offer a chance to improve the situation?For answers, we are very fortunate to welcome back to the program Lyn Alden, investment strategist & author of the book "Broken Money: Why Our Financial System is Failing Us and How We Can Make it Better"REGISTER FOR THOUGHTFUL MONEY'S SPRING ONLINE CONFERENCE AT THE EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT PRICE at https://www.thoughtfulmoney.com/conference#deficit #artificialintelligence #inflation _____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.We produce educational content geared for the individual investor.

Lyn Alden joins us to make sense of the “everything, everywhere, all at once” macro moment. A fourth-turning-style unwind of the long-term debt cycle, rising fiscal dominance, and a rare, headline-level clash over Fed independence—plus what a Kevin Warsh Fed might actually do under real-world constraints.  We dig into the “gradual print” era, why gold is ripping, how a more multipolar monetary order could emerge (gold, bitcoin, and stablecoins in different roles), and what trade war dynamics mean for the dollar's privilege.  Lyn also explains why Bitcoin has lagged gold this cycle, how much the four-year crypto cycle still matters, the risks around treasury companies and quantum narratives, and how she's thinking about portfolio construction in 2026. ------

That's even more than We're All Far Right Now.Shumer describes how AI capability is improving exponentially, meaning that most screen-based jobs face imminent and major disruption. By that he means all but disappearing. His advice is blunt: get good at using AI now; assume much of what you do will be automated, and thus your doing it will soon be redundant; and start saving up, there's economic upheaval coming.It's perhaps the best articulated essay there is describing this bleak view of what is coming.From my own little vantage point, I'm not nearly so pessimistic. I use AI a lot, and I use it more and more. Its rapid improvement over the last six months has been obvious, though it still cannot recognise humour, let alone write it - humour that's actually funny, anyway. So it's rather like the BBC comedy department in that regard.EDIT: Having written that last paragraph, I just watched this. It is a perfect Frat Pack joke. I've now watched a load of other clips made with AI movie generator Seed Dance 2.0 from Byte Dance (parent company of TikTok), and I've a mind to short Disney first thing on Monday morning. The content is breathtaking, even the comedy.I use AI as a sounding board, for legal and regulatory questions, bureaucratic procedures, personal advice, career and business advice, videos, images. I use it to proof read copy, in the case of PR which I hate writing, I use it to actually generate copy; it helps me with titles, SEO summaries and research. I am not at the point where it writes my articles for me, and I like to think I would not let that happen, but I know others are: I am increasingly reading pieces in respectable broadsheets that are clearly written by bots.That represents a lot of work I might once have given to other people.On the other hand, if I had needed to pay someone proper money to do it, I probably would not have done it at all. In that sense it is not so different from the democratisation of media that followed the turn of the 21st century, when filmmaking, podcasting and publishing suddenly became accessible to anyone with a laptop.From a personal point of view I know I have lost a shedload of voiceover work to AI, and what used to be my main source of income no longer is. More annoying, my voice, with the countless documentaries, promos, trailers and ads I've voiced over the years, has been harvested, modelled and copied like mad. Not a lot I can do. But the net result to the world is more content, better content, produced faster and at lower cost.I'm not sure quite how end-of-days it all is. But Shumer's finger is on the pulse in a way mine is not.Let's assume he is more right than I am. What then?Two things follow.First, AI is deflationary. Services get cheaper. Productivity rises. Labour loses bargaining power.Second, governments will not sit back and watch demand collapse. If employment and incomes come under pressure, the political response will be fiscal support, especially if it win s elections. This means more borrowing, therefore lower interest rates, and more money-printing. Different routes, same destination: easy money.That is essentially the conclusion reached by analyst Lyn Alden in her latest newsletter, though her reasoning is more technical. The Federal Reserve has already moved from balance sheet reduction back to ongoing expansion. Not a dramatic “QE moment”, but a structural, steady increase to keep the financial plumbing functioning. She calls it the “gradual print”.Jefferies' Chris Woods, whose Greed & Fear letter I have come to rather like, arrives at a similar place via politics. The US government is now so sensitive to interest costs that sustained tight policy is unrealistic. If markets wobble or growth weakens, intervention returns. Monetary restraint will not survive contact with fiscal reality.Hedge fund billionaire, Ray Dalio's argument, laid out in his latest offering, is similar, though simpler and colder. The United States is late in a long-term debt cycle, with borrowing rising faster than income. There are three ways out: austerity, default or money printing. The US will choose the third. If foreign buyers will not fund the deficits at acceptable rates, the central bank ultimately does. Different language, same conclusion.Which brings me to an interview I listened to this week, between Grant Williams and Rabobank's Michael Every. Every thinks stable coins will act as the funding vehicle. Every's argument is more macro than AI or the Fed. He believes we are seeing a structural shift in the global economic system, comparable to the late Soviet period. With Communism in its final throes, Gorbachev tried to transform the USSR from a military-industrial economy into a consumer one. It failed and the system collapsed.The United States, Every argues, is now attempting the reverse. After decades of financialisation and consumption, it is trying to rebuild industrial and military capacity. That means: industrial policy, trade protection, supply-chain control and capital directed toward production, rather than asset inflation. Instead of buying US treasuries, foreign dollars get recycled into US manufacturing, industry and, yes, its military.This is not the liberal globalisation model of the last thirty years. It is economic statecraft. This means growth may be slower and inflation structurally higher, while financial markets less dominant relative to the real economy.Success is by no means guaranteed, but the direction of travel is toward a more managed, more political, less free market economic system.So … large forces are converging. Different stories, maybe, but the destination is be rather similar.* AI will improve productivity, but lower labour power* Governments will be forced towards fiscal support* No longer independent, central banks will drift towards balance sheet expansion* Geopolitics will drive reindustrialisation and energy demandWhich brings us to the question that matters.What are the implications for your money?Where do you put it?

Recording date: 10th December 2025Olive Resource Capital's November 2025 portfolio performance—reaching year-to-date highs despite October's commodity market volatility—demonstrates the strategic value of disciplined gold position management within diversified resource portfolios. Whilst the firm identifies compelling contrarian opportunities in oil equities trading at generational lows, their analysis paradoxically reinforces gold's foundational importance through quantitative validation and macro context.The most striking evidence emerges from commodity ratio analysis. The oil-to-gold ratio currently sits at 20% of its 25-year historical average, representing an extraordinary dislocation that simultaneously confirms oil's severe undervaluation and validates gold's exceptional relative strength. This 500% premium to historical norms reflects fundamental repricing within commodity markets, with gold demonstrating superior pricing power amidst coordinated global liquidity expansion.Executive Chairman Derek McPherson and President & CEO Samuel Pelaez articulated the macro framework supporting hard asset valuations: persistent deficit spending across the United States, China, Canada, and European nations creates monetary conditions under which gold has historically thrived. "There is tons of liquidity coming and so your hard assets which oil is one of are going to be economic at least economic stability if not economic growth," McPherson explained, referencing macroeconomist Lyn Alden's observation that debt-financed economic support creates inexorable momentum favouring tangible assets over financial claims.China's commodity accumulation behaviour provides instructive parallels. The nation's documented gold reserve building during 2022-2024 contributed significantly to gold's rally from $1,800 to over $4,000 per ounce. Now applying similar logic to crude oil—stockpiling 700,000 barrels daily beyond refining needs—China demonstrates sovereign recognition of strategic hard asset acquisition during relative weakness. This pattern validates gold's completed appreciation cycle whilst identifying emerging opportunities in complementary commodities.Olive Resource Capital's tactical approach exemplifies professional position management. The team trimmed gold exposure during September 2025's strength, capturing profits whilst maintaining strategic core holdings, then added positions during October-November weakness at improved valuations. "We've actually been adding positions and effectively reducing our cash balance," McPherson confirmed, describing deployment across selective gold equities alongside exploratory oil positions.This disciplined rebalancing contrasts sharply with wholesale rotation between commodity sectors. Gold maintains permanent strategic importance through unique characteristics: portfolio insurance properties, liquidity during market stress, and systematic sensitivity to monetary conditions. Whilst cyclical opportunities in energy or base metals may offer superior near-term returns, gold provides stability and appreciation independent of specific economic outcomes.The investment framework applies across commodity cycles. Pelaez referenced Agnico Eagle's 20-30x return from 2015-2025, demonstrating rewards from acquiring premier assets during sector pessimism. "You can buy top of class best management best run companies and you still stand an opportunity to make multiples on your money," he observed regarding current oil valuations—a principle equally applicable to quality gold producers offering continued leverage to further monetary metal appreciation.For sophisticated investors, gold's role transcends cyclical trading. The monetary environment—coordinated deficit spending, currency debasement, sovereign reserve diversification—creates conditions for sustained appreciation whilst maintaining portfolio foundation that enables tactical exploration of complementary opportunities. The lesson from Olive Resource Capital proves clear: gold serves as strategic anchor whilst other commodity sectors rotate through relative value cycles.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Lyn Alden to the show. Lyn Alden is founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy. In this comprehensive interview, Alden discusses her “gradual print thesis” and the current macroeconomic landscape, focusing on fiscal dominance and potential long-term economic challenges facing developed countries, particularly the United States. Alden argues that the United States is entering a period of sustained fiscal challenges, characterized by large structural deficits and a complex monetary environment. She suggests the country is transitioning from monetary tightening to monetary loosening, with significant implications for asset allocation. Unlike emerging markets that experience rapid currency debasement, developed countries like the US have more flexibility due to global demand for their currency and extensive international financial infrastructure.

Alden emphasizes that while direct comparisons are impossible, certain patterns emerge, such as the importance of owning hard assets during periods of monetary expansion. She recommends diversifying across scarce assets like equities, real estate, precious metals, and select commodities, while being cautious of overvalued investments. Demographic challenges play a crucial role in Alden’s analysis. She challenges the notion that aging populations are inherently deflationary, arguing that extensive entitlement systems and continued consumption by older populations can actually drive inflationary pressures. This perspective suggests a more complex economic landscape than traditional models predict. Regarding potential investment opportunities, Alden highlights regions like Japan, Latin America, and parts of Southeast Asia as potentially attractive. She’s particularly bullish on assets that are currently undervalued and have long-term potential, such as regional banks, Bitcoin, energy infrastructure, and select international markets. Ultimately, Alden views the current economic environment as part of a broader “fourth turning” cycle, characterized by increasing political volatility and structural economic challenges. She anticipates a gradual process of economic adjustment rather than a sudden, dramatic collapse, advising investors to remain diversified and adaptable.

MacroVoices Erik Townsend & Patrick Ceresna welcome, Lyn Alden. Lyn picks up where Luke Gromen left off last week, sharing her views on what it would take to actually stop this train. http://bit.ly/48djn2y  

Part 2 – Escaping the Inflation Trap: What's Next for America, Bitcoin, and Your Wealth In the dramatic second half of this essential conversation, Tom Bilyeu and Lyn Alden chart the turbulent path ahead for the U.S. economy, the fate of government entitlements, and the role of assets like Bitcoin and real estate as lifeboats in a sea of currency debasement. Lyn offers insider-level guidance on how investors and ordinary people can adapt, protect themselves, and even thrive as the current system buckles under its own weight. This part gets tactical: Lyn breaks down her investing playbook for a world ruled by persistent money-printing, explains why governments and corporations are wrestling with the Bitcoin question, and discusses why the “soft default” through inflation is already underway. Tom and Lyn tackle difficult truths about the future of Social Security, social unrest, and wealth redistribution—and where hope and opportunity still exist. If you want answers, strategy, and clarity on surviving the era of fiscal dominance, this episode is unmissable.

Part 2 – Escaping the Inflation Trap: What's Next for America, Bitcoin, and Your Wealth In the dramatic second half of this essential conversation, Tom Bilyeu and Lyn Alden chart the turbulent path ahead for the U.S. economy, the fate of government entitlements, and the role of assets like Bitcoin and real estate as lifeboats in a sea of currency debasement. Lyn offers insider-level guidance on how investors and ordinary people can adapt, protect themselves, and even thrive as the current system buckles under its own weight. This part gets tactical: Lyn breaks down her investing playbook for a world ruled by persistent money-printing, explains why governments and corporations are wrestling with the Bitcoin question, and discusses why the “soft default” through inflation is already underway. Tom and Lyn tackle difficult truths about the future of Social Security, social unrest, and wealth redistribution—and where hope and opportunity still exist. If you want answers, strategy, and clarity on surviving the era of fiscal dominance, this episode is unmissable.
