When This Blows, Bitcoin Won't Save You | Nick Nemeth

Show Notes

Nick Nemeth joins Marty Bent on TFTC to break down why private credit defaults are hitting 2008 levels while mark-to-model accounting hides the rot. They dig into Apollo and Athene's 26x leverage, insurance contagion risk, Saudi-Norwegian sovereign wealth fund leverage, and why the everything bubble ends with a systemic unwind. The conversation shifts to Bitcoin, why Michael Saylor's financial engineering distorts the narrative, and what real free market capitalism looks like after the crash.
