In this episode, Nik Bhatia welcomes James Van Straten of CoinDesk to break down bitcoin's 20% recovery from its February lows and why the bottom may already be in near $60,000. James draws parallels to the 2022 Luna/FTX contagion cycle, explains why the bitcoin-to-gold ratio is screaming undervaluation, and shares why he's been buying in size at these levels. They unpack the death of the four-year cycle narrative, how massive AI CapEx spending by the Mag Seven is quietly creating a tailwind for crypto, and why Strategy's aggressive accumulation in an unfavorable market is one of the most bullish signals right now. James also lays out his thesis connecting gold to Shanghai, the dollar to stablecoins, and why stablecoin market cap versus bitcoin market cap could be flashing a generational rotation opportunity.
