In this episode of Over The Horizon, I’m joined by Lawrence Lepard, Managing Partner at Equity Management Associates, co-founder of the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, and author of The Big Print. We focus on why the next bitcoin cycle could be far larger than many expect, with Lawrence laying out a framework that points to $250k+ bitcoin as monetary policy, debt growth, and inflation pressures collide. We also discuss why gold tends to lead during periods of debasement, and why bitcoin historically follows with greater magnitude. We cover: • Why the Fed’s latest balance sheet expansion is effectively money printing • The debt doom loop and fiscal dominance • Why gold leads and bitcoin follows harder • Lawrence’s framework for a $250k+ bitcoin cycle • Whether the four-year bitcoin cycle still applies • What rising adoption means for bitcoin’s long-term trajectory If you’re trying to understand where bitcoin could go next and what’s driving this cycle beneath the surface, this conversation connects the dots.
