ADVICE

Forecasts And A Practical Buy Strategy

  • Expect big moves in 2025 and consider sizing positions accordingly; Lepard forecasts gold ~$4,000 and Bitcoin ~$140k by year-end.
  • Use laddered buys and dollar-cost average rather than trying to time peaks.
INSIGHT

Bitcoin's Scarcity Strengthens Over Time

  • Bitcoin's stock-to-flow restricts future supply growth repeatedly via halvings, making it steadily sounder.
  • If Bitcoin equals gold's market cap, coin prices could reach extraordinary levels over time.
ANECDOTE

Titanic Metaphor For Fiat Risk

  • Lepard uses the Titanic metaphor: fiat system sinking and Bitcoin/gold are lifeboats.
  • He says owning lifeboat seats provides peace and optionality amid systemic risk.
