Bitcoin Today Recast 12/29/25

Bitcoin Today Recast brings you the latest from today’s live X Space.

Today hosted by Darkside at 8:30 AM PST.

We dove deep into the wild silver price action that’s gripped the markets—silver rocketed to new all-time highs above $80 per ounce amid massive demand, supply squeezes, and speculative fervor, only to see a sharp pullback today with dramatic drops into the low-to-mid $70s range. We broke down the role of paper metals trading on exchanges like COMEX, where massive volumes dwarf annual physical production, fueling discussions on manipulation, margin hikes triggering flash crashes, and the growing divide between paper claims and actual physical supply.

We also explored parallels to possible paper dynamics in Bitcoin, questioning how derivatives and institutional products might influence price discovery in similar ways.

The conversation then shifted to the Bitcoin community itself—addressing the increasing fragmentation, heated character assassinations, name-calling, and unproductive drama unfolding in spaces and online. We emphasized the need to step back, recognize we’re all on the same team fighting for sound money and individual sovereignty, and work toward mending these fences for a stronger, more united ecosystem.

Sharp insights, real talk, and community-focused reflections—perfect for Bitcoiners who value principles over division. Tune in, subscribe, and catch the full episode now on Spotify, Apple, or your favorite podcast app!
