About this episode
Nik Bhatia discusses the implications of Bitcoin on the monetary system and critiques the dollar and gold.
Nik Bhatia called Bitcoin a once-in-a-millennium monetary event before most people understood what Bitcoin was. Now he has a second book, a course at USC Marshall, and the global monetary system is doing exactly what he said it would do. This is one of the most important conversations we have had on this show. We discuss: Why the dollar is a Jedi mind trick almost everyone has fallen for\ How Bitcoin and the dollar can coexist — and why that matters\ Why gold is old and Bitcoin is young\ The liquidity cycle that determines where Bitcoin goes next Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ GUEST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Nik Bhatia @timevalueofbtc → https://x.com/timevalueofbtc The Bitcoin Layer → thebitcoinlayer.com Bitcoin Age → Amazon and Audible Layered Money → Amazon and Audible ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💰 SPONSORS & DISCOUNTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔑 Stamp Seed — Between 3-6 million Bitcoin are lost forever.
