Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Rory Murray, VP of digital asset management at CleanSpark, joins us to talk about the explosive markets we're seeing in late 2024, why he believes Bitcoin's four-year cycle is dead, and the secular trends that will define the next chapter of crypto. We dive deep into the debasement trade, record bitcoin ETF inflows, the intersection of macro and Bitcoin mining stocks, and what keeps a veteran trader up at night. Also, Rory shares his framework for navigating animal spirits and how they relate to Bitcoin's long-term trajectory.
