About this listen

  • Bitcoin holds around ~$90K as Brady and John frame the current range as a “higher floor” era with potential upside catalysts still intact
  • “Healthy hopium” segment compares Bitcoin adoption to the internet’s S-curve and revisits how skeptics routinely dismiss exponential technologies
  • Discussion of long-horizon Bitcoin returns using a “wealth table” framing: short-term noise, long-term trend clarity
  • Lynn Alden’s view: recent selloff lows may hold as liquidity conditions improve and excess “Bitcoin treasury company” activity gets washed out
  • ETF adoption story accelerates: Morgan Stanley launches branded Bitcoin and Solana ETFs, notably skipping Ethereum
  • Bank of America/Merrill opens advisor access to multiple spot Bitcoin ETFs with a framed 1–4% allocation for suitable clients
  • ETF flows remain resilient: outflows are modest relative to the drawdown, suggesting a stickier, longer-term holder base
  • Macro/politics: Supreme Court tariff case is approaching a decision, with markets likely reacting in a messy, sector-specific way rather than a clean “tariffs on/off” binary
  • Housing policy: Trump floats MBS buying to compress mortgage spreads and proposes restricting institutional purchases of single-family homes, with questions on feasibility and real impact
  • Defense policy whiplash: conflicting announcements trigger sharp moves in defense stocks, highlighting policy-driven volatility risk
