Episode notes
Manage Patience With Position Sizing
- Do expect investor base turnover and accept consolidation as a healthy normal part of cycles.
- Position sizing helps manage impatience from holding a non-income-producing asset like Bitcoin.
ETP Flows Can Both Drive And Stall Moves
- Exchange-traded spot Bitcoin products drove massive inflows but then pulled back, creating selling pressure.
- Kuiper frames these flows as a major force that can keep prices consolidating despite strong fundamentals.

- Gold and Bitcoin often alternate leadership as macro-driven stores of value.
- Kuiper sees them as 'same players, or different players on the same team' driven by scarcity and macro uncertainty.
