Episode Details

In this episode, Nik and Matt Dines break down the European sovereign stress that has become a major driver of global liquidity and Bitcoin’s recent moves. They walk through the ECB’s need to defend German and French yields, Italy’s push to reclaim gold authority, and why Euro strength signals deeper funding pressure inside Europe. Nik and Matt explain how balance sheet constraints, dollar selling, and capital sourcing across offshore markets pulled liquidity out of Bitcoin, plus how bond spreads, demographic pressures, and geopolitical fractures frame the next phase of this macro cycle.
