194: 150 Year Old Chart

About this episode

The episode discusses a 150-year-old chart predicting economic cycles and its implications for Bitcoin and the markets.

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.
