The 1929 Crash Wiped His Family Out — Why Col. Macgregor Doesn’t Trust Markets
Show Notes
Col. Douglas Macgregor shares the personal story of how his family lost $4 million in the 1929 crash — after trusting government assurances that the economy was in “unbroken prosperity,” while insiders quietly moved their money into cash and gold. He explains why he’s positioning himself today with cash, gold, and Bitcoin, why Bitcoin could fall sharply in a market crash — and why he believes it will ultimately recover and become a dominant store of value when trust in gold and fiat currencies breaks down. This is a rare look at how elites survive financial collapses — and how everyday people get crushed. Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/W6P-hd1hOfo Follow Col.
