Joe Carlasare: New Bitcoin ATH in 2026 as Economy Runs Hot
Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell
Could Bitcoin still drop drastically?
Joe assesses downside risk, argues limited retail 'tourist' capital, and links deeper drops to a US recession.
Natalie Brunell is joined by Joe Carlasare, commercial litigator, long-time Bitcoiner, and macro analyst, for a discussion on the economy running hot in 2026 and why Bitcoin's traditional four-year cycle may be over. Topics:
- Why Bitcoin's 4-year cycle is breaking down
- Why OG selling at $100K changed the price action
- Gold vs Bitcoin and capital rotation
- Why political instability is the real systemic risk
- Predictions for 2026
