Episode notes
Willem Middelkoop joins Robert Breedlove in Amsterdam to make the case for hard assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin, and to weigh which one works best as money. He predicted the 2008 crisis and has spent the decades since positioning for the monetary reset he believes is now underway.
They cover why central banking is a pyramid scheme built on gold, why central banks will likely buy Bitcoin quietly, whether gold will become worthless if it can be made in a lab, why gold and Bitcoin are complements rather than competitors, how to position your portfolio for every situation, and why the exit door through Bitcoin is shrinking.
