Episode notes
Crypto Isn't A Safe Haven Right Now
- Crypto is not viewed as a safe haven because despite heavy buying pressure Bitcoin and Ethereum still faced more sellers than buyers in early January.
- Precious metals rally shows traditional finance currently favors commodities over crypto as a risk-off destination.
Avoid Panic Selling—Crypto Rebounds Fast
- Remember crypto can regain large gains quickly so patient accumulation near perceived lows can work.
- Avoid panic selling because crypto often makes back lost gains in days during rallies.
Institutional Focus Could Power Ethereum
- Farouk is unusually bullish on Ethereum because of its potential role in RWAs, privacy, and tokenization.
- If institutions coalesce behind ETH and it solves quantum risk, Ethereum could see a multi-year sharp rise.
