"I Lost $2.5 Billion While The Government Destroyed Crypto Investors" | Charles Hoskinson
Charles Hoskinson Founder of IOHK & Cardano reflects on the crypto industry's turbulent past four years, marked by regulatory chaos, failed projects, and political mismanagement, which wiped out retail investors and left altcoins stagnant while Bitcoin became institutionalized. He emphasizes that 2026 is not a typical bull market but a necessary reset, driven by the need for a new generation of protocols focused on rational privacy, smart compliance, and chain abstraction that simplify user experience and enable mass adoption. Despite significant setbacks, including his own $2.5 billion paper loss, Charles remains optimistic about the future, comparing the upcoming crypto evolution to Amazon’s transformation, where real utility and global decentralization will drive growth, reclaim retail trust, and resist Wall Street’s institutional grip, ultimately shaping a stronger, privacy-centered, and politically neutral crypto ecosystem.

"This Secret $8 Trillion Liquidity Injection Is Coming For Bitcoin In 2026!" Raoul Pal
2025 may not have been a failure for Bitcoin but a crucial setup for a massive liquidity-driven surge in 2026, requiring $8 trillion to support debt interest payments. Raoul Pal explains how liquidity—not narratives—dominates price action, the Fed’s diminished role due to fiscal dominance, and how AI, tokenization, and smart contracts will transform crypto and global markets. Despite setbacks like government shutdowns and market overhangs, institutional adoption and technological integration position 2026 as a pivotal year for a potential crypto bull run and economic shift.

"Bitcoin & Crypto Are Dead" But This ONE Thing Could Spark The Next Rally! | Ran Neuner
In this insightful interview with Ran Neuner, we unpack the unprecedented October 10th crypto crash, a seemingly unnatural event that wiped out retail investors and drained market liquidity, leaving the crypto space in a state of apathy despite soaring global markets; yet, with Bitcoin breaking key technical levels and altcoins showing strength, Ran remains cautiously bullish, emphasizing that the market only needs “one green candle” — a decisive rally — to reignite retail interest, spark FOMO, and potentially signal the start of a significant recovery, especially as blockchain technology aligns with the AI revolution, making crypto poised to become the essential infrastructure for future trustless transactions.

JPMorgan Says De-Risking Is Over. Turn Incoming? #CryptoTownHall
In this Crypto Town Hall episode, hosts Scott and Dave discuss Bitcoin's prolonged consolidation around $90K-$92K amid remarkably low volatility and volume, describing it as time-based capitulation with the market awaiting a major catalyst. Panelists explore macro factors including persistent fiscal spending, dollar dilution, booming precious metals (gold nearly doubled, silver more than doubled in 2025), institutional moves like Morgan Stanley's crypto push, and potential capital rotation from gold/silver into Bitcoin and alts. Optimism remains high for 2026 upside driven by liquidity, infrastructure demand, and regulatory clarity, while the group debates risk appetite, fraud cleanup, and the inevitability of higher nominal growth despite near-term sideways action.

ZEC Shock: Team Exodus Sparks Massive Selloff #CryptoTownHall
The panel breaks down the Zcash drama: the Electric Coin Company team resigns en masse over a governance clash, sparking a sharp but short-lived ZEC price drop. Panelists call it a "nothing burger", since the core devs are starting a new company to keep building privacy tech, and the protocol is unaffected. Debate intensifies on privacy coins (Zcash vs. Monero tech/adoption), why on-chain privacy is essential for payments, DeFi, and institutions, and broader market confusion: Bitcoin range-bound at ~$90K, mixed signals across stocks/gold/bonds, middle-class affordability woes, and prospects for an altcoin/small-cap rotation.

“QUADRILLIONS” Are HERE! Bitcoin & Crypto Are About to Change Forever
Today we’re diving into Canton Network with Digital Asset CEO Yuval Rooz—and why it’s suddenly at the center of Wall Street’s “real onchain” moment: DTCC is mapping tokenization and identifying Canton as a supported network as it moves regulated assets on-chain, while JPMorgan is bringing JPM Coin onto Canton as part of its always-on settlement push. The big takeaway: this isn’t about memecoins—it’s about bringing the pipes of traditional finance onchain, where quadrillions of dollars in securities activity could eventually be represented and settled through tokenized workflows, changing how collateral, liquidity, and market infrastructure work in 2026 and beyond.
