#14 When Pensions Meet Bitcoin: Sam Roberts on Risk, Models & Sound Money


Episode 14


In this episode of The Bitcoin IFA, Dan is joined by Sam Roberts, Director of Investments at Cartwright, where he helps pension schemes and institutions manage their long-term investments.

The conversation begins with the limits of financial models and why they often break down when real-world behaviour takes over. From there, Sam and Dan dive into how an ever-debasing currency reshapes incentives, reduces quality, and distorts markets. They explore Austrian versus Keynesian views of the economy, before turning to why Bitcoin may offer a fundamentally better alternative than gold.

Most compelling of all, Sam shares how these ideas moved from theory into practice — with a pension scheme making its first allocation to Bitcoin under his guidance. It’s a story that highlights both the risks and the asymmetric opportunities now confronting institutional investors.

This episode bridges the world of pensions and investments with the disruptive force of Bitcoin — offering professional insight, contrarian thinking, and a rare inside look at what institutional adoption really looks like.
