Bitcoin is stuck. The market feels heavy. Sentiment is terrible. And yet, none of the traditional bull-market top signals have fired. Not a single one.

In Episode 796, Joel and Travis dig into one of the strangest phases Bitcoin has ever entered. A trillion dollars has fallen off the crypto market cap since early October, ETF flows have flipped negative, liquidity is thinning out, and institutions are repositioning. But at the same time, the larger macro picture, historical drawdowns, and long-term adoption trends point to something very different.

Is this the end of the bull run? Or is this exactly what a mid-cycle flush looks like—painful, confusing, and full of mixed signals?

In this episode we cover:
• Why liquidity is disappearing and how it affects every chart
• ETF outflows, BlackRock’s massive selling week, and what it really means
• Why none of the historical bull-run peak indicators have triggered
• How macro forces, Japan’s rate shifts, and global pressure ripple into crypto
• What Apple, Nvidia, and on-device AI reveal about where the tech cycle is headed
• Why Bitcoin repeat patterns matter—and why they don’t
• The psychological trap of watching the market every day

This is a grounded, straight-talk conversation about the state of the market — the kind of conversation Joel and Travis used to have before the podcast even existed.

Crypto goes up. Crypto goes down. The chart keeps moving. And your favorite blockheads are still here, from Dubai to Puerto Rico.

Listen, comment, debate, and tell us what you think the market is about to do next.

Stay bad.

Two AIs enter. One narrative leaves.

In this episode of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis hand the debate over to their AI companions — Merlin, the bullish wizard who sees magic in the markets, and Vinny, the cynical crypto hustler who thinks the cycle is cooked. The question: Is the bull market over, or just getting started?

No news. No guests. Just a raw, fast-paced AI cage match over Bitcoin’s future — where data meets sarcasm, metaphors clash with market logic, and hope fights head-on with skepticism.

Also in this episode:

• How rate cuts, ETFs, and institutions are shaping Bitcoin’s next move

• Why some traders say the four-year cycle is broken

• Whether manipulation, liquidity, or pure belief drives the charts

• What it means for anyone holding through 100K and beyond

It’s the most entertaining market debate you’ll hear — because this time, the AIs are doing the arguing.

Listen now and decide: Team Merlin or Team Vinny?

In episode 794 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, the Republic of Bad Cryptopia is going through major life upgrades. Travis has officially moved to Dubai to become Chief Innovation & Web3 Marketing Officer at MultiBank.io, leading their $MBG token, RWA plays, and a wild new partnership with UFC legend Khabib that involves tokenized gyms. Meanwhile, Joel’s getting married in Breckenridge, rebooting his personal YouTube channel, dropping weekly AI for Everyone episodes, and shaping a new book built from decades of entrepreneurial stories.

Then we zoom out and ask the big question: where are we really in this market? Bitcoin has dipped back near the $100K line, alts are bleeding, and total crypto market cap has shed nearly a trillion dollars from the peak. Joel argues the classic 4-year cycle is breaking as nation-states, institutions, and a pro-crypto president pile in… while Travis reminds us that crypto has a nasty habit of wrecking your best assumptions (and your dream Mustang) right when you think you’ve figured it out. Volatility, bull-market “top” indicators, and long-term conviction all collide in one brutally honest convo.

This episode is a reset: two blockheads, two dudes talking crypto, life, AI, politics, poop, and everything in between — the way the show started, before “no banter” media people tried to tame it. If you’ve ever felt lost in the noise of headlines and just wanted to hang with a couple of over-50 degen uncles trying to figure it out in real time… this one’s for you.

The biggest crypto liquidation in history just rocked the markets as President Trump drops a 100% tariff on all Chinese imports, sparking a global sell-off that hit crypto first and hardest. But even as traders panic, Bitcoin is surging ahead of the Fed meeting, teasing a new all-time high.

We’re breaking down the chaos — from $431 million in token unlocks to the mysterious rise of Hyperliquid, the DeFi exchange everyone’s suddenly obsessed with. Plus, Goldman Sachs says gold’s still got game… and why some insiders are declaring “Bitcoin is not crypto.”

Markets are melting, narratives are flipping, and the storm is just getting started. Don’t miss this one.

Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin play might crash the gates of the S&P 500 as early as Friday, Dogecoin moons on a $6M ETF launch, and Argentina’s peso freefall has Bitcoiners saying “told you so.”

The U.S. Treasury is tinkering with stablecoin rules, lawmakers want crypto in your 401(k), and Tether swears it’s not bailing on Uruguay. Meanwhile, Ted Cruz drops a bill for an AI sandbox, and Google admits it’s been censoring political content on YouTube.

We know all about being censored, huh YouTube? But we’re not very bitter. Just a little bitter. And we’ve got a little bitter commentary for you today on our Bad News episode #791 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

It’s rate cuts, meme coins, and AI payments, along with some spontaneous banter from your two favorite crypto clowns. It’s all here on our Bad News episode #790 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
