Episode notes
INSIGHT

Bullish Prices, Bearish Sentiment

  • Bitcoin and Ether rose modestly for the week yet market sentiment feels bearish due to hedonic adaptation and higher expectations.
  • The middle of the market (alts and industry revenue) remains hollow, so price gains in BTC don't equal broad participant optimism.
INSIGHT

Three Plausible Cycle Paths

  • There are three credible cycle scenarios: we've topped, a late 2024 push, or an extended multi-year cycle driven by liquidity.
  • Each scenario is plausible and markets may show elements of all three rather than a single outcome.
ADVICE

Don't Miss The Best Trading Days

  • Don't try to time every cycle; buy-and-hold captures the few extreme up days that drive returns.
  • Missing the top 10 best days greatly reduces long-term Bitcoin performance, so remain invested through volatility.
