In this episode, Nik is joined by TBL researcher Demian Schatt to unpack why Bitcoin is trading so strongly near all-time highs and what the current liquidity setup tells us about where things are headed. They explore the long-debated link between Bitcoin and M2, examine how banking system assets play into TBL’s liquidity model, and walk through the balance sheet mechanics behind Treasury issuance, stimulus, and deposit creation. Nik explains why both M2 and asset-based liquidity matter, and how understanding the plumbing gives investors an edge. The update ends with a technical look at Bitcoin’s recent breakout and what a summer rally could mean for the cycle.
