Episode Details

Altseason was supposed to be inevitable. Instead, it turned into an altered version of the Banana Zone — where traders slipped on hype and narratives replaced fundamentals.

In this episode, I revisit my latest newsletter to explain what went wrong, why the market is growing up, and how 2026 is shaping into a year that rewards real adoption, real volume, and real infrastructure.
