Episode notes
Wall Street Media Manipulation
- Wall Street plays media games to shake out retail and accumulate Bitcoin cheaper.
- Nico argues recent JP Morgan coverage and product launches fit that pattern.
Price Calls May Serve Strategic Positioning
- JP Morgan publicly predicted $170K BTC while launching competing products and criticizing MicroStrategy.
- Hosts view this as coordinated signaling or positioning, not pure market research.
Wall Street Is Integrating Crypto
- Major brokerages (Schwab, Vanguard, Bank of America) are moving to offer spot crypto, signaling mainstream adoption.
- Nico sees this as bullish but stresses withdrawal/withdrawal-to-self-custody features matter.
