Is Bitcoin in a Bear Market? The Wolf of All Streets (Scott Melker): Bitcoin In a Post-Cycle Market

*“This could just be yet another 50% bull market draw down before rushing to new highs.”* In this Inside the Blockchain 100 episode, Karin sits down with Scott Melker (The Wolf of All Streets) to dissect a cycle that didn’t rhyme: an ETF‑driven early all‑time high, no altseason, and no blowoff top. Scott argues the four‑year script didn’t deliver proportional upside—so expecting an 85–90% crash may be off. He walks through bottoming signals (historic weekly RSI lows, extreme fear, “Bitcoin going to zero” search spikes, 200‑week MA proximity), why Bitcoin may be carving a long base, how prediction markets siphoned altcoin liquidity, and why he treats Bitcoin as a savings account while dollar‑cost averaging through volatility. *In this episode, you’ll learn:* ✅ Why this cycle felt different: ETF‑driven early ATH, no altseason, no blowoff top—and what that implies for downside ✅ Bottoming markers: weekly RSI at historic lows, record fear, Google “Bitcoin going to zero” spikes, 200‑week MA tests ✅ Altcoins vs. now: why broad “everything pumps” may be over; selectivity matters as liquidity fragments ✅ Institutions: long‑term tailwind, short‑term confusion—adoption via Wall Street changes the game (and the crowd) ✅ Prediction markets: the “casino” moved—how they drained speculative flow from altcoins ✅ Money, modeled: Bitcoin as savings, stablecoins as checking; why Bitcoin remains beautifully uncorrelated ✅ Strategy for newcomers: automate DCA with money you won’t panic‑sell; ignore signal‑chasing unless you’re trading *⏱️ Timestamps:* ⏳ 00:00 – Highlights with Scott Melker (The Wolf of All Streets) ⏳ 00:19 – Intro: Inside the Blockchain 100 with Scott Melker ⏳ 01:09 – About Scott Melker: From DJ and Music to Crypto ⏳ 03:26 – A cycle that didn’t rhyme: early ATH, no altseason, no blowoff top ⏳ 05:02 – Drawdowns in context: why 85–90% may not apply; could this be a 50% bull‑market dip? ⏳ 05:50 – Is Scott bullish on Bitcoin and the crypto market?
