Show notes

Bitcoin may be entering the first inning of a new bull market, and TDR thinks this cycle could be bigger than the last. Mike and Ryan break down the signals that would confirm the shift, the four stages of a crypto cycle, and how they plan to position through each phase. They also cover the sectors showing early strength, why onchain activity matters, and what could drive the next major wave of crypto adoption.
