Hey Satsmate Stackers, 

I hope you have all been having a great start to your summer! It is crazy right now to see all these names in tech go up 20, 50-80% in just a matter of days. We are what I believe to be approaching peak euphoria in much of the stock market, and I'm sure many of us in Bitcoin are asking the same question: Why has Bitcoin stalled, or traded sideways during this period? It can be very difficult to see everyone getting massively rich off their trades, but I think there is a reason behind all of this. In this podcast, I discuss my current sentiment on Bitcoin and some of the reasons for neck-snapping returns in the stock market. Specifically, I go over the following: 

• No, I don’t think Bitcoin is cooked, but there is a huge divergence in the stock market and what Bitcoin has done
• Why is Bitcoin this weak right now compared to the stock market?
• Many people who bought the ETF didn’t really know what it was, and it is the first risk-off thing they will get rid of
• Lack of conviction amongst many new people entering the space
• The stock market is getting carried by the top 10% of AI and tech stocks, but bitcoin isn’t an AI play
• The community (as mentioned previously) is near all-time lows; people’s conviction isn’t there
  • A lot of infighting in the community (some examples)
• Paper exposure is likely at an all-time high
• I believe we are in a bear market in terms of the bitcoin cycle, so that is contributing to this as well
• Many of the top 10% of society are pumping up the stock market, and something has got to snap soon
• Unsustainable p/e levels, a lot is similar to right before the 1929 crash or the 2007 market crash
• People could be losing faith in it, and price suppression could be occurring with hedge funds, and others
• I’m still very bullish right now, given macro uncertainty, future money printing, and the need for a global neutral money to settle trade in
• I don’t think the dollar or the yuan will be used to settle trade in the future; we will need a global neutral money to do that
• Directionally, I think it is good that it isn’t correlated as much, not ideal for holders like me - but still something that isn’t awful
• Stocks further have a lot of flows from pensions, indexes, passive investors, and bitcoin doesn’t have this reach as much
