CHOPSOLIDATION MAKE BITCOIN NUMBER GO UP | James Check (Checkmate)
About this episode
"[Bitcoin has] proven that we're now a $2 trillion asset. The next move is $3 trillion. And if we go through another 12 months of sideways, the next stop is $4 trillion."
Bitcoin at $110k+ and people are still bearish? In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down with on-chain and macro Bitcoin analyst James Check (Checkmate) to unpack why vibes feel weird despite a roaring market. From “chop-solidation” (boring sideways that sets up face-melting moves) to how ETF flows, IBIT options, MSTR, and OG whale supply actually work, Checkmate explains why massive demand can hide in plain sight—and why DCA + patience still beats most “clever” trades. They also discuss Bitcoin Treasury Companies, MNAV premiums, why most “proxy plays” behave like levered, timing-sensitive trades, and why just owning spot BTC usually wins.
