Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with Joe Consorti to answer the question everyone keeps asking: is the Bitcoin bottom in, or is there one more leg down before the real move begins? We get into why Strategy selling Bitcoin is nothing like the death spiral the doomers promised, how the Strait of Hormuz oil shock and a quietly-forming Fed-Treasury accord are steering the next cycle, and why Michael Saylor changing his message doesn't mean he's changed his conviction.
