Charlie Morris · ByteTreeNeutral
A small Bitcoin sleeve paired with gold cuts collapse risk while keeping much of Bitcoin's upside.
Morris argues that combining Bitcoin and gold in the right proportions, rebalanced by volatility, produces a 'magic' effect. Bitcoin's swings are offset by gold, which is more defensive, so holding both lowers the odds of a collapse in either while keeping a good share of the upside of holding one alone. He proposes replacing the gold portion of a portfolio with a roughly 80% gold / 20% Bitcoin mix, and says this is not a case for an all-gold-and-Bitcoin portfolio. The case is about portfolio role and diversification, not a directional price call.

Lyn Alden · Lyn Alden Investment StrategyBullish
Holding Bitcoin on a company balance sheet can be rocket fuel if managed well.
Alden argues that Bitcoin on a company's balance sheet can be rocket fuel as long as it is managed appropriately. She describes Bitcoin as volatile but unable to be debased, so it helps a company build a fortress of assets. Her firm, Orange Juice, uses this synergy with its acquisition strategy, and she says the combination of owning businesses and holding Bitcoin is interesting. She notes that a market exists for business owners who like Bitcoin and prefer to sell to a permanent holder.
“having Bitcoin on the balance sheet can be rocket fuel as long as you manage it appropriately, and it helps you build up a a kind of a fortress of assets that are volatile but can't be debased.”at 43:02

Larry McDonald · The Bear Traps ReportUncertain
Bitcoin's quantum-computing risk is growing; Larry bought on lows, recently trimmed, stance uncertain.
Larry's firm bought some Bitcoin on the lows this summer and recently lightened the position because of quantum computing risk. Two years ago the quantum threat was a joke at his dinners, but about 50% of institutional investors now see it as a threat within five to seven years. If quantum computing unlocked Bitcoin's underlying code, the impact on portfolios would be large.
“Bitcoin, we've been buying. We bought some this summer on the lows... and we recently lightened it. I'm worried about quantum computing... now I would say 50% of institutional investors think it's a threat five to seven years from now.”at 46:08

Arthur Hayes · Flop LabsBullish
Bitcoin is the most responsive asset to fiat debasement and will outperform in a bailout; Maelstrom is long.
Hayes argues the best performing assets when a balance sheet is debased are the growing bank reserves or bank lending, the amount of credit in the system. He says Bitcoin has proven to be the most responsive asset to an increase in fiat dollars, yen, euros and yuan. He expects authorities to print money and bail out the AI credit build-out, and that Bitcoin will be the best performer when this happens. He says Maelstrom is long Bitcoin and will wait, since timing these events is hard. He says crypto peaked in October and is down 50% because AI buildup absorbed the credit that would have gone to crypto in 2025 and 2026.
“And we've proven that over time. And so Bitcoin is the most responsive asset to an increase in the amount of fiat dollars, yen, euros, yuan in the world. And so me at Maelstrom, we're long Bitcoin.”at 13:48

Arthur Hayes · Flop LabsBullish
Bitcoin benefits from a coming government bailout after the AI bust; Hayes holds it unlevered.
Hayes is long Bitcoin as a trade on a coming bailout, which he expects to come whether he is a year early or a year late. He holds the position with no leverage. He argues governments will not restrain themselves on Bitcoin's price because so few people own it, so the bailout response will not be shaped by Bitcoin's rise.
“I'm just long with no leverage, ... crypto long the bailout. And I know the bailout's going to come.”at 37:31

Jordi Visser · Visser LabsBullish
Bitcoin will be the best-performing asset over the next year; crypto is cheap and under-owned.
Visser calls Bitcoin a belief with no fundamentals, but argues that hundreds of millions of people have chosen it and that it ranks among the world's largest assets. He says it has been the best-performing asset since 2010 (or 2012) on a Sharpe basis, beaten only by the Magnificent Seven, and that its ecosystem will grow now that financial guardrails are arriving. He calls Bitcoin the S&P 500 of that world. He argues crypto is the only cheap, under-owned asset because Wall Street does not cover it, and that AI agents, which he expects to be the real users of crypto, will drive a major stage of growth. He expects it to be the best-performing asset in the next year, while noting that a 100-to-1 price on the top board makes it a favorite.
“in my opinion, a favorite, meaning I think this will be the best performing asset in the next year, and it's on the top board at about a 100 to one right now.”at 1:05:16

Jan van Eck · VanEckBullish
Bitcoin is very bullish long term, and VanEck's bearish calls don't mean it lacks upside.
Jan says Bitcoin was in VanEck's last quarter outlook. He says Bitcoin was called correctly, and that VanEck will say so when it is bearish on an asset, as it was on Bitcoin. He then says he is long term and very, very bullish on Bitcoin. He gives no detailed evidence for that view in this section.
“you know, long term and very very bullish.”at 1:18:14

Andreas Steno · Steno ResearchBullish
Bitcoin is the only lagging risk asset and could move violently once momentum returns.
Bitcoin is the only risk asset not participating in the rally, which is odd, and he expects it to enjoy its moment eventually. Flows and anecdotes show some crypto investors have shifted focus to AI. Steno is under-allocated to crypto and patiently waiting for a trigger to restore price momentum, so the move could be very violent once it returns. He sold some ETH last week to pay taxes.
“It would be odd if Bitcoin was the only risk asset that wouldn't enjoy its moment in the sun during this cycle. So I guess it could be very violent once the momentum returns.”at 22:09

Bob Michele · J.P. Morgan Asset ManagementUncertain
Bitcoin is an alternate asset class and store of value, though he doubts it will go mainstream.
He sees Bitcoin as a store of value because a younger generation may want it as one. He compares it to collectibles: a Jackson Pollock sold for about $200 million even though AI and 3D printers can now replicate a Monet almost perfectly, so collectors value originals for reasons beyond replicability. He says it is an alternate asset class and a store of value, and he does not lecture people on what they buy. He is less confident about its wider role: he does not know if crypto can go mainstream or if Bitcoin specifically will, and it would need central banks and Treasuries to join to challenge the dollar.
“I think it... It's an alternate asset class, and I think it is a store of value. And I'm not here to lecture people on what they wanna put their money into.”at 26:03

Danielle Park · Croft Financial GroupBearish
Bitcoin is weak again and may signal a risk-appetite downturn that could hit the tech-led S&P 500.
Her thesis is that Bitcoin's rise was propped up by free money, regulatory laxity and a policy-friendly Trump White House, plus meme coin enthusiasm and a belief that there is no alternative to stocks. After halving, Bitcoin bounced but is weak again in the latest selloff. She watches it as a barometer of risk appetite. Tech is holding up the S&P, which holds up the economy and high-end spending, so the S&P could follow Bitcoin's lead.
“it came down by half, bounced a bit, but I think that it's weak again in the recent sell off.”at 48:13

Jurrien Timmer · Fidelity InvestmentsBullish
Bitcoin's power-law cycle and confirmed double bottom above $80k point to further upside, more than gold.
On log scale, Bitcoin price and time follow a harmonic power-law pattern, and each winter is smaller than the last. The 2025 peak fell a bit short of the model. Timmer flagged the $60k level as a buy zone; it held, and a break above $80k confirmed a double bottom. Priced in gold, the pattern looks beautiful. He expects both gold and Bitcoin to rise, with Bitcoin rising more, though there is still no clear narrative for the move.
“I think they're both gonna go up and Bitcoin's gonna go up more”at 53:04

Katie Stockton · Fairlead StrategiesBullish
A major cyclical low is in place for Bitcoin and crypto; constructive over weeks, not days.
Fairlead's monthly indicators showed an oversold reading that gave way to improving momentum, so they believe a major low has been established. Broadly, crypto charts show double bottoms and base breakouts. Basing phases are often sloppy and prolonged, but the view is constructive over the next few weeks, though not the next few days, depending on the time horizon and indicators used. Key support and resistance levels are respected and breakouts tend to follow through, so they expect Bitcoin to work higher.
“we do think that a major low has been established... we're constructive over the next few weeks, but maybe not the next few days.”at 37:14

Ray Dalio · Dalio Family OfficeBearish
Bitcoin is not a great asset; he holds about 1% only as a diversifier and does not recommend it.
Dalio says he has held about 1% of his portfolio in Bitcoin for a long time, but he does not think it will be a great asset. He holds it to diversify his gold position and as alternative money. He is not a supporter for two reasons: governments can influence whether people can own it, so it is not a fully private asset and can be watched, and there are concerns about whether it can be broken, which he thinks AI makes more of a risk. He says he would not recommend it.
“I've always had for a long time about 1% of my portfolio in [Bitcoin], not because I... I've never thought it will be a great asset.”at 25:24

Chris Whalen · Whalen Global Advisors LLCBearish
Bitcoin is no safe haven: it tracks the dollar and US markets, so it is a speculative toy.
Whalen argues Bitcoin's fate is tied to the dollar and that Wall Street has largely co-opted it. Because it follows US markets and the dollar, it has no protective value or safe-haven role until it correlates positively with gold. He says Bitcoin was meant as a replacement for the dollar and a means of exchange but became a toy and a speculative item. He also notes that Bitcoin's inflation-adjusted returns were concentrated in its first few years, so on a real basis it has not been a durable store of value. He concludes that gold has won this contest.
“The fate of Bitcoin is tied to the dollar. Bitcoin has been largely co-opted by Wall Street. So until we see Bitcoin correlate positively with gold, it has no value as a protection or as a safe haven for investors.”at 58:14

Quinn Thompson · Lekker CapitalBullish
Long-term bullish on Bitcoin as balance sheet expansion drives debasement.
Quinn argues that balance sheet expansion and monetization of debt will keep producing debasement. Yields are mean-reverting to some extent but remain in a steady uptrend, and the damage already done means policymakers must print heavily to repair the economy and keep the population afloat. He sees current moves as front-running that eventual debasement, which supports a long-term bullish case for Bitcoin.
“So that's another thing that I think you're right in terms of like balance sheet expansion, monetization, like long term bullish debasement, Bitcoin, etcetera”at 37:25
