About this episode
This episode discusses the implications of Bitcoin's Fear & Greed Index hitting a record low and its performance compared to gold.
Bitcoin's Fear & Greed Index just hit 5 — the lowest level ever — as gold outperforms and critics call Bitcoin a failed hedge. With the weakest post-halving performance in history, conviction is being tested across the market. Is this structural failure… or simply what monetization feels like before the next move? This episode breaks down macro liquidity, gold vs Bitcoin, capitulation data, and what deep value territory really means.
