Topics Discussed
Joe Burnett sits down with Tyler Evans — Chief Investment Officer of Nakamoto — for episode 7 of The Income Show. With STRC and SATA whipsawing, they ask whether digital credit is ‘broken’ or simply repricing: tracing Bitcoin’s market cycles and shifting volatility, framing digital credit as a long-carry trade, and unpacking what recent STRC volatility, issuer cash reserves, and capital-markets positioning really signal. They contrast digital credit with private credit on transparency and liquidity, take on the loudest criticisms from the Bitcoin community, and close on the Bitcoin growth required to cover dividends and the macro backdrop underpinning the core thesis.
