In this episode, co-founder & CEO of Onramp Michael Tanguma argues that this Bitcoin cycle is fundamentally different due to the rising sovereign and institutional bid, suppressed volatility, and structural changes in custody. He explains why gold’s surge is a smoke detector for sound money adoption, why collaborative custody must evolve beyond self-storage and third-party custodians, and why 2022’s collapse was just a “dry run” for the risks ahead.

In this episode, RootstockLabs co-founder Diego Gutierrez explains how Bitcoin-backed stablecoins and decentralized financial primitives are enabling real-world adoption, especially in volatile economies like Argentina. He contrasts Rootstock’s vision of a Bitcoin-secured, censorship-resistant financial stack with more centralized systems like Ethereum or Solana. Diego also explores how stablecoins, tokenized assets, and even nation-states may converge on Bitcoin rails, and why institutional adoption must be balanced with sovereignty and trust-minimization.

In this episode, Adrian Morris of True North argues that Bitcoin’s current market phase is fundamentally different from past cycles. He attributes prior boom-bust patterns less to the halving schedule and more to stimulus-driven speculation, noting that institutional ETFs, corporate treasuries, and reduced volatility are now creating a stronger, more stable bid. This “Stairway to Heaven” thesis envisions Bitcoin steadily stair-stepping higher rather than repeating extreme four-year cycles.

In this episode, author of Bitcoin Supercycle Michael Terpin explains why he believes the four-year Bitcoin cycle is still intact. He outlines his view that Bitcoin operates in "seasons" (spring, summer, fall, winter), with predictable post-halving behavior and diminishing returns. While macro forces and ETF inflows may distort short-term sentiment, Michael argues that human psychology and market structure still drive cyclical corrections.
