About this episode

Some say “top signal,” others say “Supercycle.” Who is right? 

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io and this week’s special product launch, Exodus.

On this week’s “Weekly Recap,” NLW digs into the theory of the bitcoin supercycle. Are we in the same sort of four-year, halving-driven, boom-bust cycle that has characterized bitcoin so far, or are the new institutional participants breaking us out of that in a fundamental way?
