Inside McKinsey’s Global Wealth Report: What It Means for Bitcoin
In this episode, Nik and Demian break down the connection between credit creation, inflation, and productivity, exploring why the world’s debt keeps growing faster than real wealth. Nik explains how money enters the system, when it becomes inflationary, and how productivity can offset rising prices. They discuss McKinsey’s global balance sheet framework, the difference between paper wealth and real wealth, and how Bitcoin could serve as new collateral in a re-collateralized financial system built for long-term stability and growth.
