REVEALED: Best Investment During Inflation
The Federal Reserve is about to face a significant challenge as it is forced into a massive liquidity dump in the near future. This has potential implications for various assets, particularly gold and Bitcoin, which are expected to experience a tremendous upside, according to financial expert James Lavish.
The Federal Reserve, often referred to as the Fed, plays a crucial role in the US economy by implementing monetary policies to regulate inflation and maintain stability. To achieve this, the Fed possesses the power to create money and increase its supply in the market through a process known as quantitative easing (QE). However, this method comes with its own set of consequences.
While QE can stimulate economic growth during times of crisis, it may also lead to unintended side effects such as inflation or speculative bubbles in certain asset classes. Over the past year, the Fed has injected trillions of dollars into the economy to combat the economic damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the money supply has surged, raising concerns about potential inflation down the road.
James Lavish, a seasoned financial analyst, believes that as the US economy begins to recover and various sectors rebound, the Fed will be compelled to reduce its monetary stimulus. This will involve a gradual reversal of the quantitative easing policies, which implies a significant reduction in the amount of money circulating in the economy. Lavish expects this liquidity dump to have a profound impact on various assets, particularly gold and Bitcoin.
Historically, gold has been considered a safe-haven asset during times of economic uncertainty. It has acted as a store of value and a hedge against inflation. As the Fed starts to unwind its monetary easing, Lavish posits that investors will flock to gold as a means of protecting their wealth against potential inflationary pressures. Consequently, this increased demand for gold could drive its price up significantly, leading to a considerable upside potential for investors.
Similarly, Bitcoin’s status as a digital store of value and its limited supply make it an attractive investment option. The cryptocurrency has gained considerable traction in recent years, with its price surging to record highs. Lavish believes that as the Fed reduces liquidity, investors seeking alternative investments may turn to Bitcoin as a potential hedge against the uncertainties associated with traditional markets. This increased demand for Bitcoin could also result in significant price appreciation.
It is crucial to note that predicting the future price movements of any asset is speculative and subject to various market dynamics. However, with Lavish’s insights, it is evident that the Fed’s liquidity dump could indeed have an immense impact on gold and Bitcoin, potentially leading to substantial gains for investors.
In conclusion, the Federal Reserve’s imminent liquidity dump poses a notable challenge for the economy. However, it also presents a unique opportunity for investors, particularly in the gold and Bitcoin markets. Should James Lavish’s predictions hold true, we may witness a tremendous upside for these assets, making them potential valuable additions to any diversified investment portfolio.
Larry is a very smart man
It has not been unusual at times for gold to increase in price as bond rates are going up, as we could be looking at investors dumping bonds to buy gold. We saw this in the run up to the 1980 gold high as bond rates also screamed skyward.
Sponsor is a Bitcon scam. gee no conflict of interest
Just lie about inflation rate and economy is doing great
Government calculates the inflation rate lol
There is a book in James background that I wish I could clearly see the title out of curiosity.
The treasurys will lock up and it will get bad.
Bitcoin is nonsense. A mal-investment of time and money. Human behavior is predictable.
This guy explains things for a 3rd grader, Excellent work!
At 37:00. "If you can't trust the money you can't trust the freedom." Yes.
I bet US debt hits 100trillion by 2035 lol. Let it rip baby.
I am always impressed with some of the guests michelle is able to bring on the show. I have not heard of this chap before and he is excellent. Now I get you are pushing to put out content quickly but if you compare this guy to the degenerate Ran Neuer ,which is clearly just biased nepotism when Michelle brought him on, is like chalk and cheese. This is a high caliber serious show but often over the years kitco brings on grifters like him. Having said that, I am a big fan of the show and I keep coming back to listen to the vast majority of great guests. Thanks for all the hard work you guys do and allowing little guys like myself to get an alternative view and I will continue to subscribe, like, share and comment and most importantly just learn from great people.

The FED will never be 'Forced' to do anything
This guys looks like Steve the Pirate from Dodgeball.
After everyone begins to buy ₿itcoin then Warren Buffet will finally capitulate and finally jump in just like he did with Apple.
ETFs should allow even Buffet luddites to buy in.
Bitcon will go down in history as the 2nd greatest ponzi of all time.
From "index for money laundering" to "value of human freedom", wellllllll……………….
I don’t know why but I trust him!
Yawn
One of your best guests yet. He’s very clear and articulate.
BTC = Tulip Mania
I think the only reason Black Rock want a Bitcoin ETF is so that they can manipulate the price of BTC and steal wealth.
Larry Fink doesnt care about human freedoom.
Its easy if they make the adresses public everyone on the network can audit the btc they have.
Larry Fink said he is interested in the transaction fees
Bitcoin is the better Gold. My Country Germany has always forbidden having Gold. Gold as long as my criminal state exist i cant hold it. Down with all State power.
Hey Lavish, let's be clear. It wasn't 'we' who has nearly depleted the SPR with only 17 days left. It was Biden. Got it?
If a Bitcoin ETF is allowed the US dollar is dead.
We are in a recession.
Nice to see Michelle back her usual excellent standards of objectivity-she certainly knows her onions!
Blackrock woke pos clowns !
ARREST PEDO BRANDON ! TREASON ! FJB !
Is Akman now long TLT?
I remember the same conversation taking place at 2017 about bitcoin being added to some big exchanges that i dont remmber thir names. anyway. the same money vacum is going to take place. this is just a cycle. thank you
Nobody thinks Blackrock will own 10 trillion in bitcoin, please!!!!
FINK IS A FINK, DON'T TRUST HIM TO HOLD ANYTHING FOR YOU!!!
Another bull trap people are gonna fall for.
Inflation is still too high and Powell soon is gonna turn the printer back on.
Sounds like another ftx
Everyone seems to have forgotten Samual Bankman Fried and how their criminal bussiness actually worked and turned out.
One of multiple…
No is Israel and Hamas, is Israel and Palestinians!!!
Cant wrap my head around crypto (created out of nothing like fiat) when you still need to convert it to fiat to be able to use it.
