In this episode of the Bitcoin Fundamentals Podcast, Preston Pysh interviews Luke Gromen about the growing financial stress within the U.S. system. They discuss the Treasury's reliance on short-term funding, signals from the repo market, and the inadequacy of record tax receipts to cover interest and entitlements. They also touch on global pressure points, the dollar's strength, and Bitcoin as an early warning sign for liquidity issues. Gromen highlights the potential for a "polycrisis" due to fiscal irresponsibility, stresses in overnight funding markets, rising yields in Japan, and geopolitical tensions, including Russia's success in Ukraine. The conversation explores the implications of these factors on the U.S. economy and the role of Bitcoin and gold as indicators of financial instability.
