Welcome to The Bitcoin Layer, where we bring you research, analysis, and education for all things bitcoin and macro. In this episode, Nik breaks down the massive fiscal deficits of the US government over the past five years. We begin with comparing today's deficit historically, explain the numbers behind how the US has spent $10 trillion more than it has collected since 2020, and how this deficit has impacted financial markets and the economy. Nik discusses bitcoin's price increase to $70,000, the signal we are getting from realized price, and generally speaks to what we missed last year when forecasting a recession.New YouTube videos M/W/F — New Substack posts T/R/SThe Bitcoin Layer is brought to you by River.Visit https://river.com and start buying today, or use http://River.com/TBL to get up to $100 when you signup and buy BitcoinSubscribe to TBL on Substack: https://TheBitcoinLayer.substack.comFollow TBL on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheBitcoinLayerFollow TBL on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/TheBitco...Follow TBL on Instagram: https://instagram.com/TheBitcoinLayerFollow TBL on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebitcoinlayerSubscribe to The Bitcoin Layer on your favorite podcast platform.Subscribe and turn on notifications for TBL on YouTube.Use code TBLYT10 for 10% off all The Bitcoin Layer Merch at http://TheBitcoinLayer.com/merchSign up for the free Monetary History course on @SaylorAcademy : http://sylr.org/MonetaryHistoryContribute to The Bitcoin Layer via Lightning Network: thebitcoinlayer@zbd.ggNik Bhatia's Twitter: https://twitter.com/timevalueofbtcResearch Associate Joe Consorti's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoeConsortiCreative Director Matthew Ball's Twitter: https://twitter.com/matthewrballBlock Height 833780#TheBitcoinLayer #NikBhatia #BTCUSD #BitcoinPrice #BitcoinChart #BTCCharts #Trendlines #BullMarket #BitcoinBullMarket #BitcoinBullRun #BitcoinToday #BitcoinAdoption #BitcoinAnalysis #EconomicUpdate #FedPolicy #FinancialMarkets #REPO #ReverseREPO #TreasuryVsFed #MonetaryPolicy #BitcoinInvestment #CentralBankers #PMI #CPI #FinancialCrisisPlanning #MarketAnalysis #MacroEconomics #BitcoinOutlook #EconomicForecast #USGovernmentDeficits #FiscalPolicyAnalysis #EconomicImpact #FinancialMarkets #BudgetaryConcerns #USDeficitTrends #EconomicForecasting #BitcoinPriceAnalysis #RealizedPriceSignals #RecessionForecast #FinancialInsights #EconomicOutlook #USBudgetAnalysis #EconomicPolicy #Bloomberg #Analysis #Charts #Tradingview #InvestmentStrategy #MarketWatch #StockMarket #PassiveInvesting #IndexFunds #FinancialMarkets #MarketWatch #ETFPortfolio #ETFNews #FreeMarket #FreeMarkets #Markets #USTreasury #TreasuryBills #BalanceSheet #FED #Debt #Inflation #Statistic #Rates #Interest #Asset #Bitcoin #Dollar #Sats #BTC #Market #Currency #Crypto #Analysis #Investment #News #Finance #Education #Blockchain #Mining #BitcoinMining #Macro The Bitcoin Layer and its guests do not provide investment advice.Subscribe to The Bitcoin Layer on Soundwise
