Bitcoin has rallied back to $79,000, but is the bear market actually over, or is one final Bitcoin crash still coming? In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, John Gillen sits down with Michael Terpin to break down where Bitcoin sits in its market cycle and what could happen next. Michael now sees an 80% chance that Bitcoin's June/July low marked the bottom. But that doesn't mean BTC is heading straight to $100K. He explains why Bitcoin could retrace toward $70K, or even the $60Ks, before the next major phase of the bull market begins.~~~~~

In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, Fundstrat's Tom Lee breaks down why he believes Ethereum is still “vastly, vastly undervalued”, and why the next five years of crypto could be defined by ETH, tokenization, AI agents, and Wall Street moving financial assets onchain. After Ethereum's explosive rally and massive crypto short squeeze, Tom explains why he believes this could be the start of a much larger move rather than another temporary bounce. He also reveals why Bitmine has accumulated more than $14 billion worth of ETH, why it is targeting 5% of Ethereum's total supply, and why he believes even Ethereum's previous all-time highs could significantly undervalue the network's long-term opportunity.~~~~~

In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, Lucas joins John Gillen to break down the recent Bitcoin and crypto rally, whether the bear market is finally ending, and why his outlook on Ethereum has changed dramatically. Lucas explains why Ethereum today reminds him of Solana after the FTX collapse: sentiment is washed out, investors have capitulated, but the fundamentals underneath the network are improving. With Wall Street accelerating its move onchain, tokenized assets growing, and Ethereum refocusing its roadmap around L1 scaling, privacy, and long-term resilience, could ETH be significantly under-owned?~~~~~

Matt explains why several onchain indicators are flashing levels of capitulation and investor pain associated with previous Bitcoin bear market bottoms, and why waiting for BTC to fall to $50K or for an October bottom could be a mistake.~~~~~
