In this video, Nik discusses bitcoin's recent path to all-time highs as it surges above $85,000. Nik breaks down why his technical analysis points to $96,000 as the next major target. Bitcoin's exit from a $23,000 consolidation funnel has pushed its current market cap up to $1.5 trillion, and Nik dives into what it means for bitcoin to approach 2% of the value of total global equities. He also discusses traditional markets and explains why money market parity suggests potential upside to $300,000. Lastly, given this historic move, Nik also discusses halving cycles and probability-weighted targets to deliver a more comprehensive analysis.

In this episode, Nik examines the powerful forces pushing Bitcoin toward new highs, revealing how government spending sets off new money creation that flows directly into assets. Starting with a breakdown of Bitcoin’s recent breakout and technical setup, he then explores the global backdrop, including China’s $1 trillion stimulus and shifts in U.S. fiscal policy. Using a balance sheet approach, Nik illustrates how Treasury issuance, bank purchases, and government payments lead to new deposits and net worth expansion — a process fueling assets without Fed involvement. This analysis reveals why Bitcoin, as a finite asset, stands to benefit in a world of accelerating government-driven liquidity. The Bitcoin Layer is a bitcoin and global macroeconomic research firm.

In this episode, Galaxy's head of research Alex Thorn helps Nik unpack the evolving landscape of crypto venture capital and Bitcoin's unique position in today's market. They discuss how, despite Bitcoin's impressive price recovery, VC funding in the broader crypto space is drying up, highlighting a significant shift in investment trends. Alex explains the growing interest in Bitcoin ETFs and what this tells us about changing institutional sentiment, as major players like pension funds now have easier access to Bitcoin exposure. The conversation explores the emergence of a "barbell market" in crypto, with Bitcoin representing long-term value on one end and meme coins dominating speculative trading on the other, leaving little room for traditional VC-backed projects. Nik and Alex also touch on the importance of Satoshi's anonymity following a recent documentary, and discuss how factors like rising interest rates and stablecoin demand are reshaping the market landscape. Throughout the episode, the focus remains on Bitcoin's growing divergence from other cryptocurrencies, both in performance and investor perception.
