I sat down with Nik Bhatia, ex-Treasury bond trader, USC professor, and author of Layered Money and The Bitcoin Age. While Bloomberg's Mike McGlone is calling Bitcoin to $10,000, Nik Bhatia says $1 million is coming sooner than anyone thinks. "The US built the global dollar system but lost control over how it works. $12-15 trillion in offshore Eurodollar claims operate outside any American regulatory authority. Stablecoins are the tool that brings it all back." He just published a paper with the Bitcoin Policy Institute and is presenting it in Washington DC this week. Full episode on New Era Finance Podcast. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 — Why $1 Million Bitcoin is Inevitable 05:00 — The $15 Trillion Eurodollar Problem 12:00 — Stablecoins as Statecraft: His DC Paper 18:00 — The GENIUS Act Changes Everything 25:00 — Why the Fed Already Lost Control 32:00 — Bitcoin is Replacing the Treasury Bond 40:00 — Layered Money: How the System Actually Works 48:00 — Why This is the Time to Buy Bitcoin 55:00 — The Macro Reset Nobody Sees Coming
