Joe Carlasare Breaks Down Bitcoin, Debt, & Why the System Isn’t Collapsing | 10X Money Talks

In this episode of 10X Money Talks, Grant Cardone sits down with Joe Carlasare, partner at a major U.S. law firm and longtime market contrarian, to break down Bitcoin, leverage, government debt, gold, and why the “doom and collapse” narrative doesn’t match reality.

This is a no-hype, no-religion conversation about how money actually works, why Bitcoin can’t be copied, what really causes massive price crashes, and how smart investors think long-term.

If you’re curious about Bitcoin but skeptical—or you’re a traditional investor trying to understand what’s real versus noise—this episode is for you.
