What Bitcoin Did

"Our entire financial system will blow up without their factories, without their oil. And they know that. So they can wait."

Luke Gromen is a macroeconomic analyst, investor and founder of FFTT.

In this episode, we get into whether the Iran war exposed a far bigger geopolitical shift than most people realise, why Luke thinks missiles and drones may have changed global power forever, and what all of this means for oil, markets, Bitcoin and the future of the dollar system.

We also get into why Bitcoin held up better than expected during the conflict, why Luke still thinks risk assets face serious danger ahead, and how AI could trigger a major credit event faster than almost anyone expects.

"Statistically, right now, we are basically at the bottom. This is as cheap as Bitcoin gets."

Matthew Mezinskis is a macroeconomic researcher, host of Crypto Voices and one of the leading voices on Bitcoin's power law and global money supply data.

In this episode, we dig into why Bitcoin's quantile regression is showing we're scraping the absolute floor, why the four-year cycle is completely intact despite everyone calling it dead last year, and what the Fed's balance sheet actually tells us about where Bitcoin goes next.

In this episode:

• The Power Law: Why Bitcoin at $63k represents the cheapest level relative to trend in its entire history, and what the quantile regression is actually showing

• The Four-Year Cycle: How the 2024-2025 price action perfectly follows prior cycles despite the "cycle is dead" narrative.

• The 550k Projection: What the power law projects for Bitcoin by 2029-2030.

Is this the start of a financial crisis?

Jeff Snider is the founder of Eurodollar University and the go-to voice on how the global financial system really works.

In this episode, we discuss why the shadow banking and private credit bubble is bursting right now, the cockroaches emerging across the credit markets that reveal nobody did any due diligence during the bubble years, and Jeff's three-stage financial crisis framework for understanding how bad this could get.

We also get into why the Fed is essentially a political lightning rod with no real control over the monetary system, why bond markets have been pricing in a crisis since 2021 regardless of what the Fed does, and how people should position themselves, including Jeff's take on $60k Bitcoin.

In this episode, we cover:

• The 3 Stages of Financial Crisis: From early outflows (Stage 1) to forced selling (Stage 2) to systemic panic and the domino effect (Stage 3) — and where we are right now

• The Cockroach Problem: Why big banks failed to check if the collateral they were lending against even existed, and what that reveals about the scale of the bubble

• Credit Crisis vs Liquidity Crisis: The critical distinction that determines whether this stays contained or spills into broader markets

• The Fed's Illusion of Control: Why the bond market has been pricing in a crisis since 2021, regardless of what Jay Powell says or does

• Bitcoin & Survival: How to position yourself for a Stage 3 collapse and why wealth preservation is no longer optional in a debasing fiat system

Is Bitcoin's worst sentiment ever actually the biggest buying opportunity?

Alex Thorn is Head of Firmwide Research at Galaxy Digital. In this episode, we discuss why Bitcoin has dropped nearly 50% from its all-time high, the reality behind the Jane Street manipulation allegations, why sentiment is among the worst it's ever been, and whether the four-year cycle played out after all. We also get into AI's potential to massively disrupt the job market, Alex's thesis on why you need to start building your "fleet of robots" now before it's too late, and why Bitcoin's fundamental value proposition matters more than ever despite the narrative damage.

Is the US government preparing to weaponise the dollar like never before?

In this episode, Brent Johnson, creator of the Dollar Milkshake Theory, returns to discuss his $5,000 gold call and why the traditional rules of global macro are currently being rewritten.

We get into the Imperial Circle, the exact strategy Soros, Druckenmiller and Scott Besant used to break the Bank of England, and why that same playbook may now be driving US economic policy. Brent explains why gold and the dollar can be strong at the same time, why Bitcoin has underperformed gold this cycle and how stablecoins are reshaping global capital flows in ways most people aren't paying attention to.
