In this episode, Blockspace Baron joins the show to deep dive into a contrarian Bitcoin thesis: treating block space itself as a scarce, financial asset.

In this episode, John Fakhoury joins the show to discuss Bitcoin’s “missing bull market,” how Bitcoin is becoming a global macro asset, why institutions can no longer ignore it, and why hype-driven treasury companies and altcoins are facing a harsh reality check. We also explore what could drive the next phase of adoption, what 2026 may bring, and why Bitcoin might reach its next milestone in a far quieter (and more powerful) way than anyone expects.
