Episode Details

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, interviews James Lavish, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund and the author of The Informationist newsletter.

Markets are flashing warning signs and according to Lavish, the biggest risk isn’t what investors expect.

From geopolitical tensions and oil shocks to mounting U.S. debt and volatility across assets, Lavish explains why this may be one of the most difficult markets to navigate in decades. He warns that while a 50% crash is unlikely, a true “black swan” event could trigger widespread selling across all asset classes.

But even more importantly, he argues that no matter what happens next, the Federal Reserve and Treasury are ultimately trapped – leaving money printing as the only path forward.

What does that mean for gold, Bitcoin, and equities?

And could the next market selloff actually be the opportunity of a lifetime?

In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori:

- Why a 50% market crash would require a true “black swan”

- The biggest risks investors are underestimating right now

- Why Lavish fears a return to 1970s-style stagflation

- The U.S. debt problem and why “all roads lead to money printing”

- Bitcoin & gold: where Lavish sees the biggest upside
