The Bitcoin Layer is a bitcoin and global macro research firm. Consider it picking up where Nik’s book Layered Money left off—how is bitcoin changing the monetary system in front of our eyes, where is it on that path, and is it heading to a price beyond $1 million?

For even more research and education—check out our YouTube content at thebitcoinlayer.com.

The Bitcoin Layer is published three times weekly, delivering timely analysis and in-depth research focusing on how bitcoin is actively swallowing parts of the legacy financial system, one at a time.

This publication represents our opinions, analysis, and research; it is not financial advice. We employ every component of the research arsenal Nik has gathered since 2010: global macroeconomics, geopolitics, the Federal Reserve, interest rate markets, price study, bitcoin, Lightning Network, and the future of digital currency.

The publication is $10/month, $100/year, or $20/quarter if paying in bitcoin/LN; please consider subscribing so that we can be here, by your side, to document the monetary renaissance.

We also occasionally publish free research for everyone to read—including every Saturday to recap our newsletters and relevant bitcoin and macro data for the week. Subscribe, and we promise to stream you intelligent coverage of bitcoin on its path to becoming the world reserve currency.
