In this episode, Nik is joined by Matt Dines, CIO of Build Asset Management, for an expansive look at America’s evolving grand strategy. They break down the Fed’s next move in the repo market, the role of gold in global reflation, and how Bitcoin fits into the new era of credit, conflict, and liquidity. Nik and Matt explore the CapEx boom, private credit expansion, and why the U.S. banking system’s structural shift gives it a strategic edge over Europe and China. The discussion connects five centuries of global finance, from gold-backed empires to Bitcoin’s rise as the foundation for a new monetary order.
