The Bitcoin Boomers

The new Fed Chairman says inflation will be a thing of the past.

Larry Lepard, Bob Burnett, and George Bodine explain why that's the most sophisticated lie in finance, and why the three assets the government can't print are about to come back with a vengeance.

Recorded July 14, 2026, as Kevin Warsh delivered his Humphrey-Hawkins testimony live.

In this episode: the Warsh playbook and "foaming the runway," why the Phillips curve is dead at the Fed, the Big Mac Index vs CPI, M2 growth vs the official inflation numbers, the AI capex arms race and why it guarantees liquidity, Hank Paulson's warning about the bond market, Japan's carry trade cracking, the power law model and why this drawdown looks like fall 2022, the Amazon parallel, and why you're not too late.

How should you buy Bitcoin if you're over 40 or already retired? A @UNLV class of near-retirees and retirees sent us their five hardest questions about Bitcoin. No hype, no jargon, just real answers for people who don't have 30 years to wait.

Bob Burnett, Larry Lepard, and Gary Leland sit down with the questions most Bitcoin shows never bother to answer: does it even matter if you're already retired, how to buy Bitcoin, your first $500 without becoming a tech expert, and how do you NOT make the one expensive mistake that wipes you out.

Plus the silver vs Bitcoin debate that broke a Twitter poll wide open. Which would you buy if you had to sell it in one year?

If you're over 40 and over 50 Bitcoin-curious but tired of being talked down to, this one's for you.

Experience matters.

Disclaimer This content is for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing shared on this channel is financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Always conduct your own research and make decisions based on your personal financial situation.

Your financial advisor says no. Your kids say yes. And Bitcoin already went from pennies to $100,000, so you figure you missed it.

Sound familiar? These five questions come up more than any others, so Larry, Gary, and Bob sat down and answered them, together.

The Top 5 Most-Asked Bitcoin Questions:

My financial advisor told me not to buy Bitcoin. Should I listen to them?

I don't understand the technology. How can I invest in something I don't understand?

What if the government bans Bitcoin?

My kids keep telling me to buy Bitcoin. Since when do I take financial advice from my children?

I missed it. Bitcoin already went from nothing to $100,000. Am I too late?

You'll also hear why your advisor makes NO commission by recommending Bitcoin

and the one mistake that makes new buyers sell at the worst possible time.
