    Bitcoin's Bottom, Quantum Risk & On-Chain Demand w/ David Puell (ARK Invest) | Unbiased Ep. 4

    Is the Bitcoin bottom already in, or is there one more leg down? On this episode of Unbiased, hosts Ben Sizelove and Julio Moreno sit down with David Puell — creator of the Puell Multiple and MVRV Ratio, now Research Associate at ARK Invest — to break down the recent short-squeeze rally, whether it fits the pattern of past Bitcoin cycle bottoms, and what on-chain data says about where the market goes from here. David explains why this cycle's bottom looked atypical — a shallower drawdown and no full reversion to realized price — the on-chain markers that did confirm capitulation (SOPR, supply in loss vs. profit), and why September's historical seasonality could still mean one more correction before the next leg up. The conversation moves into how spot Bitcoin ETFs have reshaped on-chain analysis, why long-term holder supply metrics still hold up despite the new investor base, and Julio's framework for estimating Bitcoin demand — a side of on-chain research most people ignore. The back half covers Bitcoin's biggest emerging tail risk: quantum computing. David unpacks the first post-quantum Bitcoin transaction, the new "Shrinks" BIP proposal, and Blockstream's move into lattice-based cryptography — plus the unresolved debate over Satoshi's ~1.1–2.6M dormant coins and what happens to them (the "hourglass" vs. Nick Carter's "salvage" solution). They close on macro's role in Bitcoin's price, ARK's long-term Bitcoin valuation framework, and David's advice for new investors trying to make sense of on-chain data.

    Unbiased Ep. 3 | Charles Edwards: Bitcoin's Quantum Threat, DAT Leverage & Why This Cycle Is Different

    In the third episode of the CryptoQuant Unbiased podcast, host Ben Sizelove and Julio Moreno sit down with Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, for a data-driven breakdown of where Bitcoin stands right now — and why this cycle looks nothing like the last one. Charles argues Bitcoin is carrying two structural drags that didn't exist in prior bear markets: an unpriced quantum computing threat he estimates at a 30% discount to fair value, and 200+ digital asset treasuries (DATs) building leverage on an unsustainable model. Combined with the AI trade pulling capital out of risk markets, it explains why Bitcoin's "value zone" today isn't the obvious buy that 2022 was. They get into why the four-year cycle may be coincidence this time rather than a driver, how institutional flows from ETFs and treasuries replaced miners as the real supply and demand signal, and why classic on-chain tops like MVRV and the Mayer Multiple never triggered this cycle. Charles also breaks down MicroStrategy's 12% guaranteed yield and why he sees the DAT model heading for consolidation the way the 1929 investment trusts did — plus the quantum roadmap catalyst that could reprice Bitcoin 20–30% overnight, and his framework for the average investor.

    Unbiased Ep. 2 | TXMC Trades: K-Shaped Macro, BTC Bottom Signals, Treasury Company Risks & The ETH Value Accrual Problem

    Episode 2 of Unbiased brings on TXMC Trades — analyst, trader, and creator behind the Alpha Beta Soup YouTube channel — for a wide-ranging conversation on where macro and crypto markets actually stand. TXMC has been in markets long enough to call his own recession prediction wrong and update his framework accordingly. That intellectual honesty runs through the whole conversation: he's buying Bitcoin at current levels not because he knows where the bottom is, but because the Mayer Multiple and realized price proximity put the risk/reward firmly in his favor. He's not calling a vertical recovery either — he expects a long base to form. We push on the four-year cycle (he finds it amusing more than predictive), treasury companies (structurally skeptical — every one he's looked at has negative operating income), and Ethereum (the stablecoin market cap crossover is the chart he can't shake). His final take for new investors: understand Bitcoin properly before touching anything else. Not because altcoins can't move — but because without understanding what makes Bitcoin distinct, everything else looks like a cheaper version of the same thing. It isn't. Honest takes, no pumping, no agenda. That's the show. Subscribe wherever you listen.
