Bitcoin's Most Disappointing Year Was a Massive Setup
About this episode
Bitcoin price stalled in 2025, but this episode explains why that year wasn't failure — it was preparation. We break down why the four-year cycle narrative collapsed, how macro stagnation and manufacturing recession distorted expectations, why AI investment shows up through energy and capital spending, and how banks quietly building credit on Bitcoin change everything. Most importantly, we explore why Bitcoin becomes more essential — not less — in an AI-driven world, enforcing real-world cost, verification, and reality itself as intelligence grows cheap.
