ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Jeroen Blokland discuss why the UK bond blowup during Liz Truss’ short moment in power was a canary in the coal mine for the debt trapped world. They explain how negative real yields break the 60/40 portfolio, bonds stop protecting, they quietly drain purchasing power. They confront fiscal dominance, yield curve control, and financial repression that locks savers into refinancing the system. They make the case for scarce assets like gold and Bitcoin, plus Bitcoin’s trustless settlement as an exit valve. They close on The Great Rebalancing, why scarcity may rise exponentially, and why your investing mindset needs a reset.
