ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Dr. Jeff Ross discuss why Bitcoin’s 2025 peak fizzles, and what the models actually missed. Manufacturing PMI stays stuck below 50, and the usual blow off top never shows. Ross links Bitcoin’s next move to expanding PMI, global liquidity, and financial repression where inflation outruns short rates. They confront why gold often leads Bitcoin, and why bonds quietly drain purchasing power. The episode challenges four year cycle thinking, and frames Bitcoin as a global macro asset in a fiscal dominance world.
