Bitcoin Feels Like 2022 Again, And That's Not a Bad Sign

The mood right now is identical to late 2022. The headlines are the same. The panic is the same. But the world around bitcoin looks nothing like it did back then.Jordan's back after six weeks off the tools — not because things have calmed down, but because this moment feels too familiar to ignore. This solo episode walks through why the current sentiment mirrors the last bear market bottom, what's changed beyond recognition since then, and why going quiet and building is exactly the right move right now.
