In this episode, Nik Bhatia examines Bitcoin’s return to $100,000, a pivotal moment marking its mainstream adoption. He explores the political and macroeconomic forces driving this surge, including ETF approvals, Bitcoin’s $2 trillion market cap, and the strategic role of state and federal initiatives like a potential U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). Nik discusses how Bitcoin’s growing significance as a financial asset intersects with shifts in inflation, interest rates, and global liquidity conditions. Nik highlights how these developments signal a new era for Bitcoin, one where its integration into the global financial system becomes impossible to ignore.
