Summary
In this Crypto 101 Podcast episode, Tevo and Brian break down a volatile week where crypto, stocks, and gold all fell together amid government gridlock and macro anxiety. Despite fear in retail circles, they emphasize that fundamentals remain strong, with institutions actively buying into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The hosts highlight massive whale selling, a privacy coin breakout led by Zcash, and the steady advance of new ETFs signaling deep institutional conviction. They close with optimism — noting that volatility is opportunity, the “McRib indicator” is back, and prediction markets show growing mainstream integration.

| 0:14.6 | And if you're here, you're wondering, why is crypto down? |
| 0:17.2 | Why are stocks down? |
| 0:18.5 | Why is gold down? |
| 0:19.3 | Is the world falling flat on its face? Why are all of our |
| 0:22.7 | assets down? We thought it was October. It wasn't. Now we're going for this Q4 rally. You're wondering if it's going to happen. Well, you're in the right place. We are going to break it all down for you. As we do every single week. My name's TiVo. Thank you for joining us on a Friday afternoon. I'm also joined by Brian. Brian, welcome. |
| 0:38.7 | We're wearing all black. You think we might be going to your funeral, but I know that's not the |
| 0:42.5 | way that we think in these markets. We have a huge sheet to run down with everybody today. |

| 1:12.3 | Excited to do this with you today, even though it's been a bloody week in the streets. |
| 1:16.9 | Yeah, been a little bloody. I wore black just because I want to feel slim today, not because we're |
| 1:21.5 | going to a funeral. But we're going to certainly have our own fair share of opinions on what's going on. |
| 1:28.9 | And that's what people come here for me. |
| 1:31.3 | With the permables, we look on the bright side of things. |
| 1:34.1 | And we definitely have some bright things. |
