Everything you have ever wanted to know about Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency space. What is it, where did it come from, is it right for me? We will take you through news topics and help you understand just what the Bitcoin movement is all about.
Ep203 Bitcoin sits in a volatile setup this week as strong ETF inflows clash with tightening macro conditions. Institutions continue to push long‑term Bitcoin narratives, while CLARITY Act odds slide on Polymarket. A soft July jobs report — payrolls down 23K and unemployment at 4.1% — adds more pressure to risk assets.
Ep202 September is loaded — Bitcoin is coiling under major resistance, X is quietly building stablecoin rails, and the Federal Reserve just signaled a hawkish stance heading into the September 16 FOMC meeting. In this episode, we break down the three biggest stories shaping the month ahead and what they mean for Bitcoin, markets, and macro.
Ep201 The U.S. debt clock ticks past $40 trillion, and the macro shockwaves ripple through every layer of the Bitcoin stack. E. and Rick break down the milestone’s implications for inflation, liquidity, and long‑term monetary credibility. They dig into Truflation’s latest CPI read, fresh ETF inflow data from Farside, and how the Clarity Act could reshape crypto regulation. Plus, a look at Polymarket’s odds on legislative approval and what rising debt means for risk assets heading into Q4.
Ep200 In this episode, we break down one of the biggest hardware‑wallet failures in Bitcoin history. Coldcard’s backup randomness system secretly produced weak seeds for years, allowing attackers to guess private keys and drain over 1,000 BTC in minutes. We explain the catastrophe in simple, 5th‑grade‑level language, walk through what happened, why it happened, and what listeners should do right now if they used a Coldcard during the affected period. We also cover whether other hardware wallets are safe, the difference between open‑source and closed‑source security models, and how third‑party auditors help prevent disasters like this. Finally, we update you on the latest movement in the CLARITY Act and what it means for everyday crypto users. A must‑listen for anyone securing Bitcoin in 2026.
Ep199 This week’s episode takes a sarcastic look at the “bright spots” in Bitcoin and macro — the kind of sunshine that feels more like a flickering fluorescent bulb. Bitcoin claws its way back toward the mid‑$60Ks on ETF inflows and regulatory optimism, while the Clarity Act drama continues to drag Washington into the spotlight. We break down the viral stories circulating on X, the political maneuvering behind crypto legislation, and the macro signals that are anything but comforting. A little sunshine, a lot of clouds.
Ep198 In this episode, we break down the tightening Bitcoin supply dynamics, the latest June CPI print, the evolving Clarity Act debate, and China’s looming ban on paper gold — a move that could reshape global collateral markets. This is a macro‑heavy episode with a clear through‑line: legacy systems are cracking, and Bitcoin is the beneficiary.
Ep197 Bitcoin snaps back above $62K after weak jobs data cuts rate‑hike odds and flips ETF flows positive. Citi slashes its Bitcoin target and zeros out ETF inflow expectations, signaling a major shift in institutional sentiment. Washington moves toward a CLARITY Act compromise with a possible July Senate vote. And Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. updates its Bitcoin playbook with tactical sales and a new monetization framework
Ep196 Inflation heats back up, Elon Musk becomes the world’s first trillionaire, and Bitcoin reacts across every layer of the stack. E. and Rick break down May’s hotter‑than‑expected CPI, the SpaceX IPO that pushed Musk past the trillion‑dollar mark, a major 10% mining difficulty drop, MicroStrategy’s latest BTC buy, and fresh Mt. Gox wallet movements. Plus, a look at the mixed U.S. jobs report and what all of this means for Bitcoin heading into summer.
Ep195 Bitcoin takes another hit as Strategy breaks its long‑held “never sell” doctrine. In this episode, we break down why Saylor’s first non‑tax‑related BTC sale in years sent shockwaves through the market, what it signals about leverage, dividends, and the Bitcoin‑development‑company model, and how traders are reacting. We also cover the latest price action as BTC fights to hold key levels, the newest movement on the CLARITY Act in Washington, and the macro indicators driving risk assets this week — from jobs data to inflation pressure to shifting liquidity conditions. A fast, focused look at the stories shaping Bitcoin right now.
Ep194 In this episode, we break down the week’s most viral Bitcoin stories and the macro forces shaking the markets — but the spotlight belongs to a forgotten 150‑year‑old chart that’s suddenly everywhere. The Samuel Benner Cycle, created in 1875, has eerily mapped past panics, pandemics, and market peaks with shocking accuracy… including 2020. Now it’s pointing straight at 2026 as a “peak year” and projecting the next major crisis window. We connect the dots between today’s weakening Bitcoin demand, massive ETF outflows, tightening macro conditions, and a century‑old cycle that refuses to die. If history rhymes, this episode is the warning shot.
