Lyn Alden | The Bearish-Bullish Case for Bitcoin: Vibes, Quantum, Cycles, and Sci-Fi

Lyn Alden is back on THE Bitcoin Podcast to break down why this cycle left so many of us feeling like we should be more excited than we are. We get into why $126K, despite being a new all-time high, fell short of what the fundamentals suggested was possible, and what that tells us about where retail and sovereign demand actually stands. We also dig into the macro picture, the Fed, the new chair, Bitcoin vs Quantum narrative, AI as a deflationary force, why DOGE couldn't actually move the needle on government spending, and what geopolitical catalyst might finally wake the world up to Bitcoin. Plus, Lyn shares something completely new — her debut sci-fi novel, "The Stolguard incident" which is darker and more human than you'd expect, and honestly one of the best things I've read in years.
