## Resource

Nobody could explain how we get from today to a Bitcoin Standard — until now. MarylandHODL21 and Cris Reed join The Bitcoin Matrix to break down STRC, Strategy's capital flywheel, and why very few people understand what's actually happening in the financial system right now. We cover why STRC is Bitcoin's iPhone moment, how two financial systems are running simultaneously, the apex carry trade, why real inflation is closer to 8% and what that does to every "safe" instrument you own, the M-NAV cycle and how Sailor is managing it, and how the bridge from fiat to Bitcoin is being built in real time. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ GUESTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MarylandHODL21 on X → https://x.com/MarylandHODL21 Cris Reed on X → https://x.com/CrisReed ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💰 SPONSORS & DISCOUNTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔑 Stamp Seed — 15% OFF stampseed.com | code MATRIX 🐟 Firefish — 0% fees on first loan through April 30 firefish.io/?ref=MATRIX | code MATRIX 🔐 Unchained — 10% OFF unchained.com/matrix | code MATRIX10 🏕️ Camp Nakamoto — 15% OFF campnakamoto.com | code MATRIX 💎 River — Up to $100 FREE Bitcoin river.com/matrix 🛡️ Meanwhile — Bitcoin Life Insurance meanwhile.bm | code YTPFYD ☕ Ora Cacao — 10% OFF snwbl.io/ora/CEDRIC02233 | code CEDRIC02233 🤝 Want to sponsor the show? thebitcoinmatrix.com/sponsors ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🙏 SUPPORT THE SHOW ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ Strike → BitcoinMatrix@strike.me 💵 PayPal → paypal.biz/BitcoinMatrix 💚 Cash App → cash.app/$BitcoinMatrix 💜 Venmo → venmo.com/u/bitcoinmatrix 📬 PO Box → The Bitcoin Matrix, P.O.
