Show Notes
Bitcoin’s drop toward the low 100k region takes center stage in this episode as Matthew examines whether the market is experiencing a normal pullback or something more structural. He compares the current drawdown to past cycles, highlighting how Bitcoin has repeatedly tapped its long term trend line without the explosive blow off that historically precedes major tops. At the same time, he shows that nearly all supply remains in profit, dips still look like 2017 style resets, and realized losses have not approached anything close to prior capitulation levels. A major focus of the episode is Bitcoin’s valuation relative to gold. With one Bitcoin now worth roughly 25 ounces of gold and trending cheaper, Matthew explores how far the ratio can fall before gold investors rotate back into BTC. He also studies money supply growth, demand deposits, the monetary base, and how liquidity cycles may shape price action heading into year end. The conversation expands into tech valuations, AI driven market caps, gold’s unsustainable short term trend, and the long term implications of Wall Street’s growing influence. Ultimately, Matthew frames the moment as a grinding wall of worry rather than a confirmed cycle top.
