Is Bitcoin's recent peak of $126K a sign of the end? The hosts dive into whale movements, uncovering a significant $4B transfer of dormant coins that may signal late bull market distribution. They explore potential price scenarios, driven by ETF inflows, and discuss how institutional buying could escalate. The debate extends to gold's rising status and its synergy with Bitcoin.

- Hosts warn such whale moves often precede corrections but aren't definitive tops.
Institutional Debasement Trade Driving Demand
