Summary
In this episode, I sit down with Joel Hodlman to reframe one of the biggest misconceptions in Bitcoin: that volatility equals risk. Joel shares his journey of buying near a cycle top, dollar-cost averaging all the way down, and ultimately going all-in, not because of price, but because Bitcoin itself didn’t change. We unpack why people panic when Bitcoin dips, why measuring Bitcoin through a fiat lens distorts reality, and why time, conviction, and education matter more than perfect timing.
