Pav and Calum are back, and they are talking about some of the most confusing updates in the market. With Ted still missing in action, the boys are left in the studio to figure out why on earth Bitcoin is taking a dive while certain altcoins are absolutely throwing a party. In this episode, we are tackling the total shocker coming out of the Stellar Lumens camp, with XLM casually exploding 65% in just seven days on the back of institutional real-world asset hype. We are also unpacking an absolutely wild court case in the US where someone is trying to lay a legal claim to 3.8 million dormant Bitcoin, essentially trying to use old lost-and-found property laws to seize $85 billion worth of Satoshi’s stash. Calum explains why traditional crypto ETFs are looking pretty weak right now, even though Hyperliquid and AI tokens completely ignore the gravity of the market and continue to pull vertical runs. Plus, Pav drops some essential, no-nonsense advice on how to actually invest and keep your head straight when the charts look completely chaotic. You’ll hear: ~ How XLM just woke up from a multi-year nap to post a massive 65% green candle ~ The $85 Billion Satoshi Lawsuit ~ Traditional fund flows are slowing down while decentralized protocols and AI treasuries are getting greedy ~ The AI infrastructure: Boom or Burst? ~ Pav's Survival Guide on how to position your portfolio and manage your emotions … and much more!

Ted has officially abandoned the studio for a two-week holiday, so Pav is joined by our resident fraud and risk expert, Calum, to try and make sense of a market that is tearing up the traditional crypto playbook. The boys are breaking down the real drivers behind the HYPE pump, looking at everything from Goldman Sachs quietly scooping up massive positions to a brand new US Spot ETF sucking in $74 million in its first week and a half. Plus, we look at why historical midterm election data says a stock market drawdown is looming between May and October, why billionaire fund managers are dumping 95% of their blue-chip bags, and the legendary "Pentagon Pizza Index" that might be flashing an early warning sign for global markets. You’ll hear: - How Hyperliquid is completely eclipsing the rest of the market and trading in brand new territory . - Why giant fund managers and NASDAQ-listed companies lare aggressively building Hyperliquid treasuries - Inside the $74 million in cumulative net flows that completely flipped the "sell the news" script - The historical data that shows stock markets behaviour between May and October during a midterm year. - Why Kevin Warsh stepping in could signal a historical 6-to-12 month market drawdown . - The hilarious (but oddly accurate) way internet sleuths track geopolitical tension via late-night fast-food orders … and much more!

With Ted still settling into his Sydney digs, Pav is joined by Aussie cricketing royalty and Swyftx-sponsored athlete, Hayden Kerr.

Bitcoin has officially reclaimed $80K US, but are we back in the green for good or just walking head-first into a massive "Sell in May" trap? In this episode, Pav and Ted (who is currently busy spotting Broncos players and celebrities in Sydney) dive into why the market is pushing up while retail investors are still fast asleep. We’re breaking down the supply shock math: with ETFs scooping up $2.4 billion in a single month,and buying double the amount of Bitcoin being created. Plus, we’re looking at the $82K psychological "break-even" point for BlackRock buyers and why Pav thinks the next two weeks will be the ultimate "decision point" for the market. Also, Ted shares why seeing a classic 60% pump as officially the "grossest" thing in crypto right now. You’ll hear: - Why the vibe feels completely different now than the "scary" price action we saw back in February. - Is May is destined to be a double-digit red month? - How monthly demand is crashing into a supply of new Bitcoin per month. - Why the BlackRock "break-even" price is about to trigger some serious programmatic moves. - "Gross" Alts pulling 300% moves while no one is watching. … and much more!
