Ted and Calum are teaming up again to make sense of a quiet but highly interesting week for crypto. While Pav is busy making his big live TV debut on Sky News, the boys take a look under the hood to see if market history is repeating itself and where the smart money is actually positioning itself. In this episode, they dive into the numbers behind Bitcoin closing three straight red quarters for only the fourth time ever, exploring whether a 50% drawdown points to a final accumulation phase later in the year or a potential July relief bounce. The boys also unpack the heavy internet chatter after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse publicly criticized Michael Saylor's financial products, right as Strategy announced a massive new capital framework to safely adjust cash reserves. Plus, they explore Kaspa’s major internal network clock hard fork to explain why fixed tokenomics matter for long-term growth. Finally, they cover a surprising new local survey showing that high-powered business leaders are personally holding crypto at massive rates, and break down why political pushback on the Clarity Act is shaking up prediction markets. You’ll hear: 03:15 Why a three-quarter red streak has historically set up a major accumulation phase, and what July's market behavior usually tells us. 07:14 Brad Garlinghouse clashing with Michael Saylor over structured Bitcoin products and why the Ripple boss thinks it's time to be greedy. 09:20 Calum explains the unique tokenomics of Kaspa’s new hard fork 13:16 The real psychological impact behind the headlines of Strategy balancing their cash reserves and how it affects everyday market sentiment. 16:32 An awesome look into a new poll showing 54% of local managing directors and CEOs are personally holding Bitcoin for the long haul. 21:05 Why the upcoming political recess is shifting odds on prediction markets and what the delay means for building a long-term bottom. … and much more!
