Part 2 – Escaping the Inflation Trap: What’s Next for America, Bitcoin, and Your Wealth

In the dramatic second half of this essential conversation, Tom Bilyeu and Lyn Alden chart the turbulent path ahead for the U.S. economy, the fate of government entitlements, and the role of assets like Bitcoin and real estate as lifeboats in a sea of currency debasement. Lyn offers insider-level guidance on how investors and ordinary people can adapt, protect themselves, and even thrive as the current system buckles under its own weight.

This part gets tactical: Lyn breaks down her investing playbook for a world ruled by persistent money-printing, explains why governments and corporations are wrestling with the Bitcoin question, and discusses why the “soft default” through inflation is already underway. Tom and Lyn tackle difficult truths about the future of Social Security, social unrest, and wealth redistribution—and where hope and opportunity still exist. If you want answers, strategy, and clarity on surviving the era of fiscal dominance, this episode is unmissable.
