ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Japan’s bond market is breaking and it could be the spark that ends the Dollar system as we know it. Bram Kanstein and Roberto Rios (aka Peruvian Bull) dive deep into the fragility of the global monetary system and the unfolding Dollar Endgame. They explore how Japan’s debt spiral, yield curve control, and monetary policies expose the unsustainable nature of fiat currencies — and why similar crises could soon hit other developed nations, including the U.S. Rios explains why Bitcoin represents a superior monetary system, capable of transcending fiat’s structural flaws, and what it will take for Bitcoin to evolve into a true global reserve asset. We discuss:

- Why Japan’s bond crisis threatens the global system

- How the debt trap forces central banks to choose inflation

- The hidden feedback loop between bonds, FX, and Bitcoin

- Why the next liquidity crunch could ignite a Bitcoin supercycle

- How sovereign debt markets quietly define global power

This is a high-signal macro conversation connecting debt, energy, and truth, and how Bitcoin fits into the new monetary order emerging from the collapse of the old one.
