Sobre este episodio
Even as ETFs and MicroStrategy sell into weakness, natural spot demand has kept Bitcoin from collapsing in what may be the shallowest bear market on record. The real test now is time pain, the grinding boredom that forces out remaining weak hands after the initial price capitulation.James Check, founder of Checkonchain.com, joins me to break down the current cycle through on-chain data and market psychology. His framework distinguishes price pain from the subsequent time pain that historically marks the true bottom.Checkmate examines why short-term holders flipped into high-conviction buyers, why 53K realized price now acts as a floor, the Pareto distribution among Bitcoin treasury companies, and why most copycat strategies will fail in the months ahead.Timestamps:00:56 — Last Day of Bear Feels Worst03:26 — Time Pain Grinds Out Weak Hands05:53 — Shallowest Bear Market Ever Seen08:53 — Spot Buyers Saving Bitcoin From Zero11:14 — Short-Term Holders Are Now Smart Money15:28 — July Bear Bottom: 8-Method Average18:50 — 53K Realized Price Now the Floor23:00 — Buy Bottom 15% and Just DCA28:30 — The AI Trade30:46 — Bitcoin and Gold Share a Rare Moat35:23 — Will Most Bitcoin Treasuries Fail?37:37 — MSTR's Sale of Bitcoin41:28 — Bitcoin Treasuries Follow Harsh Pareto Rule47:30 — Bitcoin Treasuries Next Cycle49:05 — High-Yield Trap?Links: https://x.com/_Checkmatey_https://x.com/_checkonchaincheckonchain.comhttps://charts.checkonchain.comhttp://newsletter.checkonchain.com/Stephan Livera links:Follow me on X: @stephanliveraSubscribe to the podcastSubscribe to Substack#StephanLivera #StephanLiveraPodcast #Bitcoin #BearMarket #OnChain #Checkmate #TimePain #RealizedPrice #BitcoinTreasury #MarketCycles
