  • EP26 (Part 1) - Checkmate From Glassnode - An Engineer's Approach To Bitcoin On-Chain Data Signals
    In this episode of Navigating Bitcoin’s Noise, I am joined by Checkmate, lead on-chain analyst at Glassnode. In our discussion, Check shares the importance of taking an engineer's approach to truly understand what drives and supports a market below the surface. We cover how on-chain analytics allows one to monitor value flowing through the Bitcoin network and what this tells us about the behavioral characteristics of various investor types that make up markets. We dive into Bitcoin Bear markets, what metrics define them, what role memes play, and what factors separate a Bull from a Bear.

  • EP24_Blockware Solutions' Joe Burnett On Institutional Interest In Bitcoin Mining
    In this episode of Navigating Bitcoin's Noise, I am joined by Joe Burnett who is an analyst with Blockware Solutions. In our discussion, we cover Bitcoin's mining properties, its volatility, and how that leads to an endless number of investors going down the rabbit hole for the first time.

    We also discuss Bitcoin's hashrate, institutional mining operations, and the cash flow potential of Bitcoin mining. We look into why hedge funds and other institutional players see mining as a means to creating a mathematically defined set of cash flows on an asset that otherwise doesn't naturally offer this mechanism.
