The Fed Is Trapped: Why Double-Digit Inflation Is Inevitable | Lawrence Lepard

Bitcoin serves as the primary hedge against this systemic failure, as institutional adoption continues despite short-term volatility and negative market sentiment. MicroStrategy’s aggressive use of leverage to acquire Bitcoin represents a rational financial arbitrage against the dollar, effectively betting on the long-term failure of fiat systems.
