Episode notes
INSIGHT

Recent Rally Is Reduced Selling Not A Big New Bid

  • Crypto prices move on buyer and seller flows, not macro narratives.
  • Spencer argues many sellers have been exhausted since the 10/10 fallout, so reduced selling explains recent greens more than dramatic new buying.
ADVICE

Follow Today's Outperformers To Find Next Cycle Leaders

  • Pay attention to which altcoins are outperforming now because early winners tend to lead the next bull phase.
  • Spencer recommends watching where holders with stables are deploying and following those overperformers into the next cycle.
INSIGHT

Network Activity Alone Doesn't Move Price

  • Fundamental usage data (like Ethereum transactions) doesn't automatically translate into price moves.
  • Spencer points out ETH had its busiest quarter yet but price still sits far below ATH because trading flows, not activity, drive valuation.
