    The Blockspace Pod: The Metric That Will Signal A Bitcoin Bottom w/ Checkmatey

    James Check joins the show to analyze Bitcoin's market structure in early 2026. We discuss the divergence between BTC and equities, the impact of "extraordinary" ETFs, and why the Realized Cap suggests a cooling-off period. Plus, deep dives into quantum computing risks and on-chain data. James Check, Co-Founder of Check on Chain, joins us to talk about the current state of Bitcoin in 2026.
