In part 1 of this two-part interview, Larry Lepard, Managing Partner and Founder of Equity Management Associates, and Michelle Makori, Lead Anchor and Editor-in-Chief at Kitco News, discuss the unfolding de-dollarization trend, and why Lepard thinks the dollar as we know it will end within the decade. He explains why he thinks gold and Bitcion are the best safe havens for investors, and provides his price forecast for these assets. Lepard explains why he forecasts hyperinflation in the U.S., as the government prints money to pay down increasing debt, and why this will be accompanied by a ‘serious downturn’ that could rival the Great Depression. He closes with his thoughts on the challenge to dollar hegemony from the BRICS nations, which are looking to form a reserve currency to rival the U.S. dollar.
