Episode notes
Stronger Fundamentals, Weaker Price
- Fundamentals improved in 2025 despite weaker price action, making conviction crucial when price diverges from fundamentals.
- Regulatory shifts, macro liquidity, and sovereign mistrust of fiat create a strong long-term Bitcoin backdrop.
Stablecoins Build Rails For Bitcoin
- Stablecoin rails normalize digital asset infrastructure and prepare banks and fintechs to support Bitcoin flows.
- Stablecoins act as a bridge: people may save in Bitcoin and spend in dollar-linked tokens for convenience.
Why Gold Leads Bitcoin
- Gold often leads Bitcoin because central banks and sovereigns buy gold first as familiar sound-money exposure.
- The real rotation to Bitcoin will likely come from bonds and real assets suffering from monetary debasement.
