Kaspa’s Big Programmable Upgrade, Tokenomics Truths & The CEO’s Buying Crypto

Ted and Calum are teaming up again to make sense of a quiet but highly interesting week for crypto. While Pav is busy making his big live TV debut on Sky News, the boys take a look under the hood to see if market history is repeating itself and where the smart money is actually positioning itself.

In this episode, they dive into the numbers behind Bitcoin closing three straight red quarters for only the fourth time ever, exploring whether a 50% drawdown points to a final accumulation phase later in the year or a potential July relief bounce. The boys also unpack the heavy internet chatter after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse publicly criticized Michael Saylor's financial products, right as Strategy announced a massive new capital framework to safely adjust cash reserves.

Plus, they explore Kaspa’s major internal network clock hard fork to explain why fixed tokenomics matter for long-term growth. Finally, they cover a surprising new local survey showing that high-powered business leaders are personally holding crypto at massive rates, and break down why political pushback on the Clarity Act is shaking up prediction markets.
