In this episode, Nik recaps one of the most eventful few days for financial markets this decade. With the soft landing narrative quickly giving way to a recession after last week's employment data, global markets went into a full tailspin, with US Treasuries dramatically bull steepening, stocks crashing, and bitcoin dipping below $50,000. He analyzes recent economic releases, discusses the volatility event and unwind of the Japanese yen carry trade, and carefully breaks down the price action from Tuesday's sharp, albeit partial, recovery.

In this episode, Joe and Nik sit down with Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming for a detailed discussion of the United States' unsustainable debt problem, and how Bitcoin can help address it. Senator Lummis discusses the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), how Bitcoin can strengthen the US dollar's position as the world reserve currency, the geographic distribution of the SBR's private keys, what Proof of Reserves for the SBR will look like, and how holding Bitcoin on the United States' balance sheet for 20 years can take our unsustainable debt situation, with $35 trillion in national debt at a 125% debt-to-GDP ratio, and potentially cut it in half.

In this video, Joe breaks down all of the mania surrounding bitcoin over the last 72 hours. He first discusses Trump's proposed Strategic National Bitcoin Stockpile, alongside Senator Cynthia Lummis' bill to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. He then breaks the news that the Biden-Harris administration has likely begun the sale of the US' existing bitcoin holdings, moving $2 billion into a new wallet for a likely OTC sale to thwart Trump's plans of a reserve using our existing seized BTC holdings. He then takes a look at bitcoin's price action being driven largely by leveraged trading, wanting to see spot accumulation before we have a solid chance at moving sustainably higher. He rounds out the video discussing the US National Debt hitting $35 trillion as of this morning, and why bitcoin offers a solution not just for the government, but for individuals looking to hedge themselves from the recklessness.

In this episode, Joe brings us a bitcoin update. We discuss bitcoin's resilience after the most eventful 2-week period in modern history, a remarkable $500-million inflow to BlackRock's bitcoin ETF on Monday, and more. He also discusses BlackRock and Fidelity taking 4th and 8th place in YTD inflows across all ETFs in US markets. With unprecedented demand from Wall Street and credit spreads still at cycle lows, all signals suggest that the bulk of bitcoin's bull run still has yet to begin.
