Bitcoin vs Gold? Lawrence Lepard Explains What Investors Need to Know

Is your money actually safe anymore?

On this episode of Futures Edge, Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino sit down with Lawrence Lepard, author of The Big Print, to break down what today’s investors are really up against: rising debt, shaky fiat currencies, inflation, Bitcoin, gold, and the growing loss of trust in government stewardship of money.

Larry explains why more everyday people are turning to sound money assets like Bitcoin and gold, what a potential sovereign debt crisis could mean for your portfolio, and why understanding monetary debasement matters whether you’re a trader, investor, or just trying to protect your future.

This conversation is real, timely, and packed with insight for anyone wondering:

- Why are bond markets acting strange?

- Is Bitcoin replacing gold?

- What happens if governments keep printing?

- How do regular investors hedge against bad policy?
