Show Notes
Fresh off the plane from Fred’s Bitcoin Alpha Conference in L.A., Matt kicks off this stream reflecting on the experience—especially a standout moment meeting a retired NASA rocket scientist who’s been following the channel. But the bulk of this one digs deep into price bands, power curves, and how Bitcoin is behaving on both dollar and gold terms. Matt walks through why 200K+ Bitcoin might look “close” on the chart—but isn't, thanks to the distortion of log scales. He also explains why both bullish and bearish outliers (like 8 or 645 ounces of gold per Bitcoin) are highly improbable. If Bitcoin reverts to the mean against gold, it could mean a 2x move from current levels, taking us to $250K.
