ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and James Van Straten discuss why Bitcoin’s traditional cycle is fading as ETFs compress volatility and mute drawdowns. They map the hot money rotation from Bitcoin to AI stocks, and back again. Tokenized stocks and 24/7 markets turn TradFi into a bigger casino, while Bitcoin gets boring, by design. Stablecoins, fiscal dominance, and bond markets expose why the Ponzi keeps extending. The punchline is conviction: sovereignty still matters, but institutions now set the tempo.
