196: Trillionaire

196: Trillionaire

Ep196 Inflation heats back up, Elon Musk becomes the world’s first trillionaire, and Bitcoin reacts across every layer of the stack. E. and Rick break down May’s hotter‑than‑expected CPI, the SpaceX IPO that pushed Musk past the trillion‑dollar mark, a major 10% mining difficulty drop, MicroStrategy’s latest BTC buy, and fresh Mt. Gox wallet movements. Plus, a look at the mixed U.S. jobs report and what all of this means for Bitcoin heading into summer.

195: Saylor Sells

Ep195 Bitcoin takes another hit as Strategy breaks its long‑held “never sell” doctrine. In this episode, we break down why Saylor’s first non‑tax‑related BTC sale in years sent shockwaves through the market, what it signals about leverage, dividends, and the Bitcoin‑development‑company model, and how traders are reacting. We also cover the latest price action as BTC fights to hold key levels, the newest movement on the CLARITY Act in Washington, and the macro indicators driving risk assets this week — from jobs data to inflation pressure to shifting liquidity conditions. A fast, focused look at the stories shaping Bitcoin right now.

194: 150 Year Old Chart

Ep194 In this episode, we break down the week’s most viral Bitcoin stories and the macro forces shaking the markets — but the spotlight belongs to a forgotten 150‑year‑old chart that’s suddenly everywhere. The Samuel Benner Cycle, created in 1875, has eerily mapped past panics, pandemics, and market peaks with shocking accuracy… including 2020. Now it’s pointing straight at 2026 as a “peak year” and projecting the next major crisis window. We connect the dots between today’s weakening Bitcoin demand, massive ETF outflows, tightening macro conditions, and a century‑old cycle that refuses to die. If history rhymes, this episode is the warning shot.

193: Warsh Steps In

Ep 193  Kevin Warsh steps into the Federal Reserve with one of the most openly pro‑Bitcoin backgrounds we’ve ever seen — but he’s also a monetary hawk stepping into a hot inflation print. CPI jumps to 3.8%, Bitcoin rips above $81K before pulling back under $80K, and Strategy makes a major move with a $1.5B discounted debt buyback. A fast breakdown of the macro forces shaping Bitcoin this week.

192: Powell Out!

Ep192 Bitcoin enters May with momentum as price action pushes toward a major weekly close near $79K, ETF inflows surge, and institutional demand refuses to cool. But the headline shock of the week is Jerome Powell’s departure from the Federal Reserve — a move that injects fresh uncertainty into global markets and reshapes expectations for liquidity, rates, and risk assets. In this episode, we break down how Bitcoin reacted to the Fed shake‑up, why ETF flows remain a powerful tailwind, what’s driving renewed regulatory momentum in Washington, and how geopolitical tensions — from the Iran conflict to shifting macro sentiment — continue to influence the broader market. Episode 192 blends macro upheaval with on‑chain reality to show where Bitcoin stands as the financial narrative pivots once again.
