The Crash That Wasn’t: Why Bitcoin Rebounded & $100K Feels Baseline

About this episode

The episode discusses Bitcoin's recent market movements and the implications for its future value.

Bitcoin tapped a new ATH, dipped, then snapped back. In this roundup, Josh Friedeman, Jon Gordon (Satoshi Health Advisors / NosFabrica), and Trey Sellers (Unchained) break down why the move wasn’t a real crash, what would actually create a deep washout, and why $100K now feels like the floor. We also hit the week’s biggest signals: Harvard’s $116M Bitcoin exposure and what it means for endowments, Scott Bessent’s walk-back on a U.S. “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” Block’s Proto modular mining rigs, and the Fed easing bespoke oversight on banks touching Bitcoin (“novel activities”) CONNECT WITH JON 𝕏: @thebitcoinyogi Instagram: @jongordon9 LinkedIn: Jon Gordon Websites: Satoshi Health | Sound HSA CONNECT WITH TREY 𝕏: @ts_hodl LinkedIn: Trey Sellers Website: treysellers.com Newsletter: firebtc.substack.com CONNECT WITH JOSH 𝕏: @joshuafriedeman LinkedIn: Josh Friedeman SHOW PARTNERS Velas Commerce — Build with Bitcoin.
