Former CalPERS portfolio manager Matt Cole explains why your pension fund is critically underfunded and how Bitcoin offers a survival path forward. Managing $70 billion in assets gave Cole unique insight into the pension crisis, where funds paying 100% benefits are only 70-80% funded. Cole breaks down why traditional investments can't meet return targets and how Bitcoin could help pension funds survive the coming financial storm. From ESG failures to institutional adoption, this discussion exposes what Wall Street insiders know but aren't telling the public about your retirement security.
