France is being called "ground zero" for the next global financial crisis — and the fallout could reshape everything from bond markets to Bitcoin's next move.
Rob sits down with Nik Bhatia ( @TheBitcoinLayer ) and James Seyffart (Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst) to break down the bond selloff ripping through Europe, why France's debt crisis is edging toward a "whatever it takes" moment, and what it all means for gold, Bitcoin, and the U.S. economy. They dig into the $23 billion flooding into bond ETFs, why central banks are hoarding gold at a historic pace, and how gold's explosive 2025 rally just changed James's entire view on how high Bitcoin can go.
The conversation then turns to America: how the U.S. is running record stock market highs on the same high yields that are triggering riots in France, the K-shaped economy splitting the country in two, and why your Social Security number is quietly one of the U.S. government's biggest assets against its $40 trillion debt. Nik and James close out with Bitcoin education, how Nik's pitch for Bitcoin has evolved, and the untold story of how Larry Fink was finally orange-pilled at BlackRock.
Here is what we cover:
• Why France is being called the "ground zero" of the next bond crisis
• The odds the EU bails out France instead of letting the union fracture
• Why bond ETFs just pulled in $23 billion in five days
• Central banks' gold buying spree and what it means for the dollar system
• How gold's 2025 rally changed James's view on Bitcoin's upside potential
• The real relationship between Bitcoin, gold and global liquidity
• Why AI spending is the one thing holding up the entire stock market
• The K-shaped economy and why half the country feels a recession that isn't there
• What American "dynamism" actually looks like compared to Europe
• Why your Social Security number is secretly one of America's biggest assets
• How Nik Bhatia's pitch for Bitcoin has changed since his first book
• The inside story of how Larry Fink was finally orange-pilled at BlackRock
