IBM Launches “Digital Asset Haven” To Help Banks And Governments Enter Into Crypto

Global tech tycoon IBM is stepping deeper into the digital asset space with the launch of IBM Digital Asset Haven.

I’ve heard *… but the smart people I know aren’t buying BTC yet” 👥 Lawrence Lepard: “Bitcoin is going to become the monetary standard of the world over the next two decades.” Lawrence Lepard (often called Larry) is an American investment manager, sound money advocate, and author known for his outspoken criticism of fiat currency systems and promotion of hard assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin as hedges against inflation and monetary policy failures. Professional Background • Career: Lepard has over 42 years of experience in finance. He spent 20 years in venture capital as a partner at Summit Partners in Boston and Geocapital Partners in Fort Lauderdale. Since 2006, he has served as the founder and Managing Partner of Equity Management Associates LLC (EMA), a firm that manages investment funds focused on gold, silver, mining companies, and Bitcoin-related assets. EMA has emphasized these sectors since 2008. • Board Roles: He is an independent director at several resource companies, including Rise Gold Corp., Amarillo Gold Corporation, and Hochschild Mining Brazil Holdings Corp. (since 2019). • Education: Lepard holds a BA in Economics from Colgate University and an MBA with Academic Distinction from Harvard Business School. Advocacy and Views Lepard is a prominent proponent of the Austrian School of Economics, arguing for a return to “sound money” (e.g., backed by gold or decentralized assets like Bitcoin) to address systemic issues like inflation, government overreach, and central bank policies. He frequently warns that the U.S. dollar and global fiat systems are unsustainable, predicting a potential crisis that could drive trillions into non-printable assets. He describes Bitcoin as “massively underpriced” and poised to become the world’s monetary standard over the next two decades, while viewing gold as a complementary store of value. Lepard is also vocal about self-custody for Bitcoin to protect against potential government seizures or bans. Publications and Media • Book: In 2024, he published The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It, a critique of modern monetary policy (e.g., Federal Reserve money printing) and a guide to protecting wealth through Bitcoin and precious metals. The book has been praised in Bitcoin communities for its fresh perspective on economic history and human behavior through the lens of money. • Speaking Engagements: He has appeared at events like the New Orleans Investment Conference (focusing on Austrian economics) and BTC Prague (discussing fiat failures and Bitcoin’s role in Europe). • Online Presence: Lepard is active on X (formerly Twitter) as @LawrenceLepard, with over 234,000 followers. His bio highlights his roles and interests like CrossFit. He frequently posts about markets, Bitcoin, gold, and policy critiques (e.g., recent comments on Jerome Powell losing control of inflation). Lepard resides in the Wellesley, Massachusetts area and is described as an “anti-Federalist” in his economic philosophy. His work appeals to investors concerned about macroeconomic risks, blending traditional precious metals investing with emerging crypto narratives.

Bitcoin Set to Outshine Gold when investors ‘do the work’ Experts predict that shifting just 5% of gold investments into BTC could rocket its price to $242,000. A modest 1-2% move might still push it past $130K–$160K.
