What happens when an Austrian economist and lifelong gold bug starts warming up to Bitcoin?
In today's episode, I welcome longtime friend and Austrian economist John O'Donnell to break down the current market environment and his outlook for 2026. John has built his framework around sound money principles, inflation cycles, and central bank policy—but recently he's been "orange pilled" by Bitcoin. That shift alone makes this conversation worth tuning in for.
We'll dive into:
- The current macro landscape
- Central bank policy and long-term currency risk
- Gold vs. Bitcoin in a changing monetary system
- What he sees coming in 2026 across equities, commodities, and hard assets
If you're interested in Austrian economics, inflation, gold, Bitcoin, and long-term market cycles, this episode connects big-picture philosophy with real-world investing strategy.
