Episode notes
Analyst Took A Timely Two Month Break
- Matt took a two-month break after a long stretch of work and missed the worst of the winter price action.
- He timed his return for when markets were improving, saying the break was deserved after four years without one.
Four Year Cycle Might Be Breaking
- Bitcoin's classic four-year halving cycle may be breaking due to shifting supply dynamics.
- Over 95% of Bitcoin's eventual supply is already circulating and institutions are buying more than new issuance, changing cycle drivers.
BTC Looks Worse Versus Commodities Than USD
- Measuring Bitcoin versus comparable assets (silver, gold) shows a deeper real purchasing-power drawdown than USD terms suggest.
- Versus silver Bitcoin fell ~80% in relative terms, making this one of Bitcoin's worst bear markets by that metric.
