Bitcoin, the business cycle, and the coming wave of monetary easing with Joe Consorti

Bitcoin just had one of its worst days of the year, yet the story beneath the surface tells something far more important. In this episode, Joe Consorti explains why the sell-off may be a sign of strength, how long-term holders are quietly redistributing their coins, and why this cycle is unlike any before. We explore the shifting macro landscape, the rise of socialism as a symptom of broken money, and how concentrated equity markets reveal deeper structural fragility. Joe also breaks down why bitcoin tracks the business cycle more than the halving cycle and why easing financial conditions could set the stage for its next major rally.
