Lawrence Lepard | Simply Bitcoin IRL

In this episode, we sit down in Miami Beach with the legendary Larry Lepard to discuss his new book, The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It. We dive deep into how inflation is stealing wealth from everyday Americans, why fiat money is the root of the problem, the Federal Reserve’s role in economic manipulation, and why Bitcoin is the only solution for a fair monetary system. Larry breaks down the debt doom loop, the history of monetary policy, and what comes next for the U.S. economy. He shares eye-opening insights about how the financial system has been rigged against the middle class, the consequences of endless money printing, and why Bitcoin is the best tool to restore economic fairness.
