The fact even reasonable people like this guest mostly sounds to be, are still acting like Gold VS Bitcoin is a thing worth talking is foolish. Gold is a ally not a enemy.
geneeverettFeb 7, 2026
101
One of the more reasonable guests, but ignoring the previous cycles as just random they all match up is silly. No 60K is not bottom. 46K is coming. & no not going to zero. He said same thing about going below 25K in 2022 and we went down another 40% or so, we always overdo it and we will see 50K break.

U guys discuss the files, but don’t even read them and spend 20 minutes speculating. If ur finna discuss , how about spending time actually doing some research, if we wanted moronic speculation, we could talk to our friends. Podcast we expect more then this dumb show
geneeverettFeb 6, 2026
101
We are in the bear part of cycle, we aren’t bottoming here, we will bottom close to 40K, we always do , last time was 15K, from 69K, how can u seriously say we are close to bottoming only 4 months out from cycle high? We will bottom let’s 2026 or 2027. Stop pretending the 4 year cycle died, it didn’t

Sorry for my other comment on this episode! I meant to post it on the co hosts other podcast episode, the one recorded a week prior with all the prices discussed being out of date, my bad! Posted it in wrong place

WTF? the numbers aren’t even close, u held this for a entire week? Bitcoin 60K at I type and was 85K last week when u recorded this, the numbers make no sense, dude please post these faster

    Pubky = slashtags? I like the BIP 2.1 quadrillion units. Would be so much Easier to send value instead of using decimal places and messing up 0.001 and 0.0001 John always coming with that fire. Don’t always agree with him but I respect his passion, mind, and trying to find solutions to complex problems
