In this episode, we discuss Trumps’ “Crypto Ball”, the Bitcoin strategic reserve, and inflation fears. We also cover the idea of four year cycles in crypto, and why they might not continue. Additionally, we unpack Berachain’s “Proof of Liquidity” mechanism. Finally, we close the episode with discussion on Ethereum’s staking decline.
Thanks for tuning in!
