Client Reactions After the Crash

•  
• The hosts reflect on surviving the “ninth worst” Bitcoin crash and the sharp one-day move from ~$70k to ~$60k, followed by a quick rebound into the high-$60ks
• John shares client sentiment: widespread “WTF” confusion, plus a growing chorus expecting another leg down—often a late-cycle/bottom-ish behavioral tell
• Discussion of fear/greed collapsing to extreme levels and how prior bear-market patterns (e.g., late 2022) can rhyme without being predictive
• Inflation talk via multiple lenses: CPI vs PCE vs alternative real-time measures like Truflation, plus skepticism on CPI components (e.g., health insurance methodology)
• Macro implication: inflation appears to be cooling enough to give the Fed room for rate cuts, but Bitcoin can still rally even without a “big print”
• Lynn Alden clip reaction: Bitcoin bottoms tend to be slow, sideways, and buyer-rotation-driven rather than V-shaped without major stimulus
• AI as a potential catalyst and volatility driver across equities, with examples of major S&P names experiencing severe drawdowns amid uncertainty
• TradFi signals: CFA Institute review of a Bitcoin book framed as an “intellectual curiosity” bridge for mainstream finance audiences
• Lightning Labs announcement: enabling AI agents to pay via Lightning, positioning Bitcoin rails as a native fit for autonomous software commerce
• Quick hits: quantum-resistance progress (BIP-360), Elon’s “X Money” timeline, and “Bitcoin is dead” obituaries re-emerging as contrarian indicators
