Inside the Global Liquidity Shift Powering Bitcoin with Dr. Jeff Ross
In this episode, Nik is joined by Dr. Jeff Ross to assess the US economy, global geopolitics, and what they mean for Bitcoin. They review the post-2020 policy regime, fiscal dominance, and why PMIs and new orders may be turning up, then discuss the Supreme Court path for tariffs, the US push on chips and energy, and the risk of a hot conflict with China. Jeff explains his liquidity blob framework, how the TGA and RRP shift money between the public and the government, and why expanding liquidity tends to move out the risk curve into assets like Bitcoin. The pair lay out a bullish near-term Bitcoin view if growth accelerates, the potential for a cycle that extends into 2026, and how AI, energy, and stablecoins could reshape credit and employment. They close with open questions on structural unemployment and the role of policy in an AI-driven economy.
