This Bitcoin Bear Market is Different—Here's Why

About this episode

This episode discusses the unique aspects of the current Bitcoin bear market and its implications in the context of macroeconomic changes.

Bitcoin has slipped into bear-market territory — but this drawdown doesn't look like the ones we remember. As gold and silver experience historic volatility and macro assumptions begin to crack, this episode explores why the old Bitcoin cycle playbook may no longer apply. This isn't about panic — it's about understanding Bitcoin, leverage unwind, and what happens when the monetary system itself starts sending warning signals.
