Apple vs Bitcoin: Why Fundamentals Fail and Trendlines Win

Show Notes

In this episode, Matthew takes a deep dive into Apple and Bitcoin, contrasting traditional financial metrics like price-to-sales (PSR), P/E, and operating cash flow ratios with trendline-based analysis. He argues that while fundamentals can help identify undervalued entry points, they often fall short in signaling exits or peak valuations—especially in tech and crypto markets. By comparing Apple's exponential growth to Bitcoin's power curve, Matthew explores how investors can better anticipate market movements. The episode closes with a provocative discussion on MicroStrategy’s shifting stock trend and what it means for the broader Bitcoin standard debate.
