Is the four-year cycle dead, or is it about to be right on time again? Benjamin Cowen joins Brandon Green to argue that narrative follows price — not the other way around — and that everyone calling for "this time is different" said the same thing in 2017, 2021, and again in 2025. Cowen walks through the macro headwinds facing Bitcoin, what a new Fed chair like Kevin Warsh can and can't do, and why a midterm-year reset is the most likely path forward. Plus: his controversial take on Bitcoin treasury companies and why he believes they'll eventually underperform Bitcoin itself. 🔶 Host: Brandon Green - BTC Inc CEO🔶 Benjamin Cowen - Founder & CEO of ITCChapters: 02:06 — From Nuclear Engineering PhD to Bitcoin YouTuber10:32 — The 2025 Apathetic Top vs. The 2019 Apathetic Top Explained15:17 — Bitcoin Cycles Inside the Macro Business Cycle22:13 — Narrative Follows Price: Why the Four-Year Cycle Keeps Repeating29:01 — Could the Midterms Mark a Surprise Bitcoin Bottom?37:00 — The 40K Target: Realized Price, Balance Price, and the Path Lower42:25 — The Fed Is Checkmated: Kevin Warsh, Energy Shock & Rate Cuts47:51 — Why Treasury Companies Eventually Bleed to Bitcoin52:14 — Bitcoin Beyond 2026: The Path to $1M and the 2040s Reset59:30 —"The Bears Sound Smart, The Bulls Make Money"#Bitcoin #BenjaminCowen #IntoTheCryptoverse #BitcoinMagazine #BitcoinPodcast #BitcoinCycle #FourYearCycle #BitcoinBearMarket #BitcoinAnalysis #BitcoinMacro #BitcoinPrice #FedRateCuts #KevinWarsh #BitcoinTreasury #BitcoinETF #BitcoinHalving #MonetaryPolicy #BitcoinBottom #BTC #BitcoinNews #BitcoinInvesting #BitcoinTrading #BrandonGreen #BitcoinChartAnalysis #BitcoinMarketCycleDISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or any affiliated entities.

Strategy went from holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet to inventing an entirely new asset class and Phong Le is at the center of it. In this Bitcoin Backstage conversation, the Strategy CEO breaks down STRC, the perpetual preferred product paying ~11.5% annualized monthly, and explains how it's funneling capital straight back into Bitcoin accumulation.

Every Bitcoin Layer 2 quietly depends on a trusted operator to order transactions and that's the single point of failure Jeremy Rubin wants to kill. In this MIT Bitcoin Expo conversation with Bitcoin Magazine's Shinobi, Rubin breaks down Char Network, a decentralized shared sequencer that lets anyone participate like a miner. He explains how staked Bitcoin gets burned the moment a participant cheats, and why anchoring proof of stake to Bitcoin avoids the pitfalls of standalone PoS chains.Grab your copy THE 2036 ISSUE👇https://store.bitcoinmagazine.com/pages/the-2036-issue🔶 Shinobi — Bitcoin Magazine🔶 Jeremy Rubin — Founder & CEO, Char Network Chapters: 00:41 — Who is Jeremy Rubin and what is Char Network02:26 — The sequencing problem inside Bitcoin Layer 2s03:49 — Decentralizing the trusted bridge operator05:54 — Equivocate and your staked Bitcoin gets burned08:09 — Long-range attacks vs Bitcoin-anchored security10:47 — Signatures, the torus, and exposing private keys14:06 — The hunt for a VRF and discovering eVRFs15:33 — MuSig, deterministic nonces, and the Purify library18:11 — Garbled circuits and a Bitcoin behind every blade of grass#Bitcoin #BitcoinLayer2 #CharNetwork #JeremyRubin #BitcoinMagazine #MITBitcoinExpo #BitVM #ProofOfStake #BitcoinStaking #DecentralizedSequencer #Layer2 #Rollups #BitcoinDevelopment #GarbledCircuits #MuSig #eVRF #CTV #BitcoinScaling #Shinobi #BitcoinCore #BitcoinConferenceDISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or any affiliated entities.

Could a New York court really declare 3.8 million dormant Bitcoin — including coins linked to Satoshi — as "abandoned property"? This week the Bitcoin Policy Institute team dissects an anonymous lawsuit built on an obscure lost-and-found statute, and explains why the legal theory is weak but the precedent could be devastating.
