Transcript
00:00welcome to the deep dive today we're tackling something massive uh something everyone in
00:11crypto is trying to figure out what's the road ahead for the next big bull run we're talking
00:172025 maybe 2026 yeah that timeline feels about right based on the cycles and look we've sifted
00:24through a ton of research market analysis insider notes really trying to pinpoint not just when
00:29but you know what are the actual engines what's going to power this next wave right and our mission
00:35today is pretty straightforward we're going to break down five specific projects the sources we
00:40looked at are calling them the pillars pillars yeah and these are the ones analysts think have
00:43the best shot strongest fundamentals real adoption potential and crucially the right story of the
00:49right narrative going into this next cycle and it's that structured approach that's key here this isn't
00:54just throwing darts the idea is that these five well they represent the essential building blocks of web
00:59three you can't really have a healthy ecosystem without these pieces like what kind of pieces
01:04everything from you know the base money layer secure foundational all the way up to the smart contracts
01:11the data feeds even the super fast stuff for consumers okay okay but before we jump into pillar
01:17number one let's just set the scene a bit what's the big picture the sources are painting well the premise
01:23is pretty bold they're saying the catalysts lining up now think big institutions getting access
01:29this whole tokenization trend it suggests this next run isn't just a repeat it could be fundamentally different
01:34different how structurally different maybe creating a whole new wave of capital formation globally it's a big claim
01:43okay definitely potent but let's ground ourselves like you said absolutely got to be crystal clear
01:48we're exploring what the research says looking at opportunities identifying patterns it's about gaining knowledge
01:54understanding the landscape not financial advice definitely not financial advice okay full stop we're
01:59just decoding the analysis that's out there for you all right pillar one let's start at the beginning
02:04the bedrock bitcoin btc it's still the anchor right the sources all seem to agree it kicks things off and
02:12keeps the momentum going why is it still numero uno for big money well the narratives totally shifted for the big
02:19players the institutions bitcoin isn't some weird tech experiment anymore it's basically treated as
02:25digital gold that's the mental model now digital gold yeah it's got the security the track record and
02:31it's the easiest on-ramp for traditional finance dipping its toes into crypto if you're managing billions
02:37and you look at risk adjusted returns long term bitcoin feels like the safest first step and it has this
02:42rhythm doesn't it this predictability almost which is rare here the sources put a huge weight on the
02:47halving event that just happened back in april 2024 why is that specific event such a reliable trigger
02:53it's pure supply and demand mechanics simple but powerful the halving literally cuts the rate of
02:58new bitcoin creation in half boom overnight so less new supply hitting the market exactly the miners get
03:04half the reward they used to for validating transactions think about it like uh if suddenly global
03:10gold mines could only prove half the gold they did yesterday yeah if demand stays the same or you
03:14know it goes up price has to adjust upward price has to go up to balance it out and this happens
03:18predictably every four years it's like sock work it's arguably the most powerful economic force in
03:24crypto this programmed scarcity and the history backs it up the numbers cited are pretty wild they really
03:30are after 2012's having something like eight thousand percent gains then 2016 it was around 2900
03:37after 2020 maybe 700 okay so the percentages are getting smaller yeah they have to write law large numbers the
03:43market cap is way bigger now yeah but the the core principle that enforced scarcity still the main
03:48engine driving the whole cycle but this time feels different there's this huge new factor that wasn't
03:53really there in 2020 the etfs the u.s spot bitcoin etfs how does that flood of demand change the equation ah
04:02that's the game changer for this cycle an etf especially the spot ones from giants like blackrock
04:08fidelity the names the sources keep mentioning creates this constant easy regulated demand how
04:15so well when someone buys a share of the etf the company has to go out and buy the actual bitcoin to
04:20back it up and hold it so it's not just speculation it's real buying pressure day in day out so it's like
04:26the supply got cut in half while the biggest players in finance suddenly started buying massive amounts
04:32every day exactly you got the supply shock amplified by this huge ongoing demand shock it's a potent
04:39combination we haven't seen before in this scale and the sources are throwing out numbers based on
04:42this right potential price targets i saw 150 000 maybe even 200 000 mentioned yeah those ranges pop up
04:49a lot in the analysis but hang on given those historical gains even the smaller 700 last time and now
04:54this institutional flood could those targets actually be kind of conservative why aren't they predicting even
04:59higher that's a really good question i think the analysis tries to be somewhat grounded bitcoin's
05:05market cap is already massive you know getting another 10x from here is way harder than it was
05:09back in 2012 sure so those over 50 200 k numbers they seem based on pretty conservative models of how much
05:17wealth institutions might actually allocate like if big funds just put one percent or two percent of
05:22their assets into these etfs just a tiny slice yeah a relatively small allocation for them could
05:27realistically push the price into that range it's framed more as a baseline derived from traditional
05:33finance logic not just retail hype makes sense and bitcoin's role is bigger than just its own price
05:39right it sets the stage for everything else totally it's a liquidity engine when the big money flows into
05:44btc it sends a signal okay this whole crypto thing is serious then as bitcoin maybe cools off a bit after
05:51a big run people take profits exactly they take some profit and that capital starts looking for the next
05:56thing higher risk potentially higher reward it cascades outwards into the altcoins into the altcoins
06:02ethereum solana the other pillars we're going to talk about bitcoin primes the pump gets the world's
06:07attention and then that liquidity flows downstream and lifts everything else it's the tide that raises all
06:12boats you know okay so if bitcoin is the secure vault the digital gold pillar two is ethereum eth the sources
06:21frame this as the operational brain the main web3 backbone why eth there's lots of competition now
06:28faster chains why is it still so central it really comes down to the network effect it's just entrenched
06:34eth powers most of defy you know decentralized finance the whole nft craze right mostly on ethereum
06:40and the really big one everyone's talking about tokenizing real world assets rwas rwas right we'll get
06:46into that yeah eth is where most of that action is happening or expected to happen has the developers
06:51the security track record the stuff institutions actually care about when real value is involved
06:55okay so network effect is huge but what are the other drivers like bitcoin there's etf talk for ethereum
07:01too how big a deal would that be potentially massive but it's uh a bit more complicated than bitcoin's
07:06etf why is that well bitcoin is pretty clearly seen as like a commodity digital gold ethereum because
07:14you can stake it and earn yield and because fees get burned it looks a bit more like an interest
07:19bearing asset or maybe a productive commodity that makes the sec's job trickier in classifying it for
07:25an etf okay but if it gets approved wow it basically gives eth the institutional stamp of approval as a
07:33regulated investment opens the door to a whole new wave of buyers who couldn't or wouldn't touch it before
07:39beyond the etf buzz the tick itself has to keep up right the sources mention things like dank sharding
07:44layer two roll-ups can we break those down what do they actually do for eve yeah super important
07:49ethereum's big historical problem was congestion like a busy city highway at rush hours slow and
07:55expensive tolls or gas fees right i remember those crazy fees exactly so dank sharding think of it less
08:01like widening the main highway and more like adding a whole bunch of parallel side roads all
08:05synchronized that can handle way more data traffic smoothly okay more capacity tons more capacity
08:10and layer twos like arbitrum or optimism they're like express lanes they take a bunch of transactions
08:15process them off the main highway quickly and cheaply and then just post a summary back to the
08:20main ethereum chain for security so faster and cheaper much faster much cheaper yeah these upgrades
08:25are crucial for making ethereum ready for like global scale usage the kind of throughput institutions
08:31need it just wasn't possible back in the last cycle and that brings us to what the analysis calls the
08:36mega trend rwa tokenization real world assets this seems to be the core growth story for eth what kind
08:44of assets are we talking about potentially everything treasury bills company bonds real estate deeds
08:50maybe even art intellectual property but the sources focus heavily on the financial stuff first and why
08:56is ethereum the go-to place to put these things on chain security mostly and trust if you're a huge asset
09:02manager tokenizing say a billion dollars of bonds you need absolute certainty about the security of the
09:09underlying blockchain ethereum's got the longest track record the most eyes scrutinizing it the biggest
09:14developer community it's seen as the most credibly neutral and secure settlement layer so the argument
09:19is if eth becomes the main place where these trillions of dollars of tokenized assets live and get
09:25settled then demand for eth itself just goes through the roof because you need eth to pay the transaction
09:31fees the gas for every single transaction involving those assets it creates this immense constant
09:37demand pressure and this isn't just theory right we're seeing big names get involved absolutely the
09:42sources make a big deal of larry fink the ceo blackrock biggest asset manager in the world openly talking
09:48about tokenization is the future of financial markets that's not just idle chat that's a massive
09:53validation of the whole concept and ethereum is basically the main infrastructure for it right now plus
09:58you've got jp morgan their onyx division already using an ethereum based network okay it's a private
10:04one but still based on the tech for real world stuff like cross-border payments they're not just testing
10:09they're using it that shows deep trust okay strong validation let's flip to the supply side the sources
10:15talk about eip 1559 and staking growth how do those mechanics affect the price right this is a really
10:22powerful dynamic eip 1559 was that upgrade back in 2021 that changed how fees work now a portion of
10:30every transaction fee gets burned permanently destroyed removed from supply so when the network
10:34is busy more eth gets burned it can actually make eth deflationary sometimes meaning more is destroyed
10:39than created and at the same time you have staking huge amounts of eth are being locked up by people
10:45wanting to earn yield and secure the network locked up means it can't be sold easily exactly it's off the
10:50market so you combine this potentially decreasing supply from burning with a massive amount supply
10:55being locked away and staking right while demand from defy and potentially institutions is rising
11:00that's a classic supply squeeze you can track these metrics see it happening it's a fundamental
11:05bullish factor baked into the code okay moving on we've got the institutional bedrock with btc
11:11the institutional backbone with eth pillar three takes us somewhere different solana sol the sources call
11:18this one the retail speed demon the high beta play yeah that framing fits really well solana was built
11:24from the ground up for one thing speed massive transaction throughput thousands per second often
11:30for like fractions of a penny per transaction which makes it good for things where you need instant
11:34results and can't afford high fees think fast-paced defy trading blockchain gaming where every action is an
11:40on-chain transaction social media apps maybe even those mean coins everyone talks about stuff that needs
11:45scale and responsiveness now and that term high beta what does that actually mean for someone listening
11:51thinking about risk high beta just means it tends to move more than the overall market or more than the
11:56big guys like bitcoin and ethereum so if the market's going up solana is expected to go up faster
12:02percentage-wise that's flip side flip side is if the market tanks solana likely tanks harder too it's more
12:08volatile yeah the speed the lower market cap compared to btc it gives it that leverage for potentially
12:14bigger gains but definitely comes with higher risk got it so what's the proof where's the evidence that
12:20people are actually using solana for all this stuff well you just look at the on-chain data solana
12:25frequently beats ethereum in terms of daily active users and transaction counts often way higher really
12:32more users than ethereum some days yeah it's a clear sign of where a lot of the high volume everyday
12:37retail activity is happening users especially new ones they don't want to wait or pay five bucks
12:42for a transaction they go where it's fast and cheap and right now that's often solana and the
12:47sources point to one specific catalyst that really brought solana into the mainstream consciousness
12:51recently the meme coin explosion in 2024 b-o-n-k w-i-f those dog and cat coins right poopy chat too
13:00why are memes actually important here they seem kind of silly for an investment thesis they might seem
13:05silly but in terms of driving adoption they were incredibly effective think of them as supercharged
13:12onboarding tools how so that whole craze brought millions literally millions of new
13:18often non-technical users into the solana ecosystem practically overnight they created wallets
13:24traded tokens interacted with defi and the key thing the network handled it it didn't crash or get
13:29super expensive mostly no fees stayed low transactions went through fast even under that intense sudden
13:36load that was a massive stress test and it proved solana's technical chops to the mass market in a
13:41way that abstract tech specs never could it showed it worked at scale okay that makes sense but it's
13:46not just memes in retail anymore is it the story seems to be getting more serious institutions are
13:51sniffing around vanek filed for a solana etf yeah that filing by vanek is a big signal you don't see
13:58major asset managers doing that unless they think an asset has reached a certain level of legitimacy
14:03scale and importantly future potential they're basically betting that solana isn't just a fad it's
14:10a real contender as a high-speed financial layer and maybe the strongest validation comes from outside
14:15crypto entirely visa what's the deal with the visa pilot program this is huge
14:21visa you know global payments giant started using the solana network directly to settle stablecoin
14:26transactions like moving digital dollars around exactly moving usdc a major stable coin between
14:32different parties and their payment network like merchants and issuers internationally they needed
14:36something super fast super cheap and reliable for a high volume they picked solana wow that's not
14:42crypto speculation that's core financial plumbing precisely it's massive enterprise validation it shows a
14:49giant like visa trusts solana's tech for actual real world high frequency payment operations that
14:54carries a lot of weight so lots of activity both retail and enterprise how should someone connect that
15:00usage back to solana's price or valuation how do you track if the growth is real the sources really
15:07emphasize looking at the correlation track the price of sol alongside the actual network activity
15:12specifically things like the total fees being paid on the network and the number of active wallets
15:18transacting then what should you look for you want to see them moving together especially since
15:22late 2023 when things started picking up again if the price is rising and the network fees are rising and
15:27active users are rising that suggests the growth is organic it's driven by real use real demand for
15:33the network not just hot air or speculation that underlying utility is why solana makes the list as a key
15:39pillar okay pillar four we've got digital money btc smart contracts and retail speed sol but none of
15:47these blockchains can really talk to the outside world on their own right that's where chain link l-i-n-k
15:53comes in the sources call it the universal data bridge yeah essential infrastructure is probably the
15:58best way to think about elink for anyone listening an oracle which is what chain link provides is basically a
16:05secure messenger a messenger for what for bringing reliable real world data onto the blockchain things
16:12like what's the current price of tesla stock what's the interest rate set by the fed did the lakers win
16:18last night what's the temperature in london blockchains can't know this stuff on their own they're kind of
16:23sealed off exactly without oracles like chain link smart contracts are deaf and blind to anything happening
16:29outside their own network chain link is the bridge that lets them react to the real world in a
16:35trustworthy way and this makes it absolutely critical for that rwa tokenization trend we talked about with
16:40ethereum doesn't it indispensable think about it if you tokenize a billion dollars worth of say real
16:45estate on ethereum the smart contract managing that needs to know the current accurate market value of
16:53that real estate all the time and it needs that data from a source that can't be easily manipulated
16:58needs to be tamper proof absolutely for compliance for risk management institutions need verifiable
17:06reliable decentralized data feeds chain link has become the industry standard for providing exactly that
17:12it's about security and trust for high value assets and this necessity has led to some pretty big
17:19partnerships according to the sources oh yeah the list is impressive we're talking swift the network
17:24that connects basically all the world's banks google cloud is using them for data tons of major banks
17:29are involved in pilots or direct integration these aren't small startups playing around not at all these
17:34are the core players in global finance and big tech embedding chain link into how they think about
17:39connecting with blockchain technology and a big part of chain link strategy seems to be this thing called
17:45ccip cross-chain interoperability protocol what is that and why do banks need to talk across different blockchains
17:53right ccip is basically chain links attempt to create a universal standard for communication
17:58between different blockchains and even between blockchains and traditional bank systems like a
18:02universal translator kind of yeah but for both data and value think about it a big bank might use a
18:09private permissioned blockchain for some things maybe use a public chain like ethereum for something else
18:15and still rely on their old legacy systems ccip aims to let them securely move messages and assets
18:21between all these different environments seamlessly okay so it connects the islands exactly it's
18:27building the bridges needed for a future where different types of networks public and private
18:31all need to interact securely it's foundational plumbing for institutional d5 and we have concrete
18:37proof of this being used right the swift pilot program yeah that swift pilot was a landmark
18:42they use chain links ccip specifically to test connecting different central bank digital currencies or cbdc's
18:49with existing private blockchain payment systems used by banks what was the goal swift wanted to
18:55show their existing network could act as a central point connecting all these new digital currency
18:59initiatives and they needed chain link to be the secure bridge between their system and the various
19:04blockchains it was a massive validation the core of global interbank messaging formally integrating with
19:10decentralized oracle tech so the big picture lank isn't just for crypto nerds it's becoming essential
19:17plumbing for institutional finance how should someone think about its value or analyze it the analysis
19:23suggests looking for an adoption lag infrastructure plays like chain link often see their tech get
19:29integrated before the token price fully reflects that value so adoption comes first price follows later
19:35often yeah so the advice is track the number of chain link integrations yeah how many major banks
19:40defi protocols and enterprises are actively using their services watch that number grow over time and compare
19:46that to the price right the theory is as these fundamental adoption metrics climb especially with big
19:52names like swift involved it builds up this immense potential energy even if the link gate token price
19:58doesn't react immediately that deep integration suggests a major price catch-up is likely probably
20:03during the peak excitement phase of the 2025-2026 cycle the value accrual is happening under the surface
20:10all right pillar five we've covered the giants the established players now we get to sui sui the sources
20:17label this one the innovation frontier the dark horse it's a newer layer one blockchain what makes sui
20:23special enough to be considered a pillar alongside btc and e sui's whole reason for existing is to push the
20:29boundaries on scalability and maybe more importantly user experience it's designed specifically to handle the
20:34kinds of demanding applications that older blockchains struggle with think complex high
20:39fidelity on-chain games ai applications things that need instant feedback yeah they talk about instant
20:45finality transactions aren't just fast they're confirmed immediately which feels much more like
20:51using a regular web application that's crucial for making crypto feel less clunky for mainstream users
20:57okay so speed and usability but the sources also mentioned this narrative building around sui as a potential
21:03solana killer is that just marketing hype or is there some technical substance there well the killer
21:08label is always punchy marketing right grabs attention but there is a technical argument behind it sui's
21:15main differentiator is its programming language called move move never heard of it it came out of
21:21facebook's abandoned dm blockchain project the engineers who built move designed it specifically for
21:27handling digital assets very safely and critically for something called parallel processing
21:32parallel processing sounds complicated can you simplify that sure think of most blockchains like
21:38a single lane road every car transaction has to go through one after another if one car is slow
21:44everyone behind it gets stuck the bottleneck effect exactly move allows sui to work more like a multi-lane
21:50highway if transactions aren't trying to touch the same piece of data sui can process them at the same time
21:56in parallel so multiple toll booths open at once that's a great analogy this parallel execution
22:02lets sui handle way more transactions overall and makes building complex safe applications potentially
22:08easier and faster it's a fundamental architectural difference from older chains like ethereum or even
22:14solana to some extent and is this technical edge actually attracting people are we seeing growth the
22:19numbers suggest yes the sources point to really rapid growth in key areas people are excited about nfts
22:26ai projects building on sui some unique defy applications any mart metrics the big one
22:31mentioned is total value locked or pdl basically how much money is deposited in sui smart contracts
22:37apparently that jumped something like 500 just in the second quarter of 2024 500 in one quarter that's
22:43huge yeah that kind of growth signals serious capital and user inflow it shows growing confidence that
22:49the tech works and there are opportunities there and developers are they building on sui that's
22:53another key indicator of the sources track they mention seeing noticeable developer migration from
22:58other chains like aptos which also uses move and even binance smart chain over to sui why do developers
23:05move they go where the tech feels better faster safer or where they see more opportunity developer
23:11momentum is often a leading indicator of where the next wave of innovation might happen talent follows
23:16promising tech and for any new chain getting listed on major exchanges is crucial right for liquidity
23:23absolutely essential the sources highlight that sui got listed relatively early on
23:27the big ones binance coinbase that gives it global visibility makes it easy for people to buy
23:33and provides the necessary liquidity for price discovery when you know the market eventually
23:37gets excited so the sources suggest comparing sui's current growth path tvl users developers to
23:43solana's early days back in 2021 before it really took off what's the point of that comparison
23:49it's about visualizing the potential velocity of growth solana exploded in 2021 partly because it
23:55offered speed and low fees when ethereum was clogged the argument is if sui's tech truly is a step up
24:02especially for things like gaming which could bring in millions of users then it could potentially follow
24:07a similar explosive growth curve or maybe even steeper if it captures that next big wave of users coming in
24:13for gaming or ai driven apps the potential upside during a full-blown bull run could be immense
24:19that's why it's the dark horse highest risk among the five for sure but maybe also the highest potential
24:24reward if its tech lives up to the promise okay wow we've covered a lot of ground bitcoin ethereum
24:30solana chain link sui let's try to tie it all together why these five how do they create a complete
24:36picture for this next cycle it really is about covering all the bases structurally the portfolio
24:41design if you want to call it that hits every key layer needed for both institutions and consumers okay
24:46lay it out one bitcoin that's your institutional trust layer the base money digital gold secure
24:51foundation got it two ethereum that's the established infrastructure the backbone for high value stuff like
24:59defy and crucially that rwa tokenization mega trend institutional settlement layer three
25:06solana that's your speed and scale for the masses retail accessibility high frequency trading gaming
25:12consumer apps low fees high throughput chain link the essential connector the data bridge makes
25:19everything interoperable connects blockchains to real world data securely critical for rwa is an
25:25institutional trust and five the new kid sui that's the cutting edge the innovation play focused on
25:31next-gen scalability user experience pushing the boundaries for future applications like advanced
25:35gaming and ai so it's like bitcoin is the vault ethereum is the bank's main processing system solana
25:41is the high-speed retail payment network chain link provides all the market data feeds and sui is the
25:46r d lab building the next generation of applications that's a pretty good analogy yeah it covers the secure
25:51store value the high value settlement the mass market interaction the essential data and the future
25:55innovation you kind of need all those functions for a healthy growing ecosystem and crucially the sources back
26:00this up with real world examples right this isn't just theory exactly the validations already happening
26:06look at blackrock their bitcoin etf wasn't just a success it was a statement it signals institutions
26:12are here and they're not leaving that validates pillar one what else paypal launching their stablecoin
26:18pyusd on ethereum that's a massive consumer payment company choosing eth as the backbone for
26:24their digital dollar huge validation for pillar two and salada visa using solana for stablecoin
26:30settlement again a global payment giant trusting solana speed and cost for their actual operations
26:35validates pillar three chain link that swift partnership the core of global banking communications
26:40actively testing and using chain link to connect to the new world of blockchains massive validation for
26:46pillar four so the underlying stories for these pillars aren't just wishful thinking they're grounded in
26:51things actually happening now precisely these aren't just crypto projects anymore they're becoming
26:56integrated pieces of the next generation of finance and the internet so for you the listener
27:02trying to make sense of this complex space the takeaway isn't just buy these five coins
27:06it's about understanding the roles they play the categories they represent what tools did the research
27:13suggest for tracking how this whole cycle is playing out yeah they gave some clear metrics to watch
27:18first off dominance charts keep an eye on bitcoin dominance versus ethereum dominance versus solana
27:24dominance where does that tell you generally bitcoin dominance rising early often signals institutions
27:30are accumulating quietly then maybe eth dominance rises as defi and rwa narratives heat up later solana
27:38or other altcoin dominance spiking can signal peak retail excitement and maybe froth it shows where the
27:43money is flowing relative to the others okay dominance what else on chain activity you have to look
27:48under the hood our active wallets actually increasing on these networks is transaction volume growing is
27:53the total value locked tvl in their defi ecosystems rising so are people actually using them exactly that
28:00separates real utility growth from just price speculation you want to see the usage metrics climbing alongside
28:05the price and finally sentiment how do you gauge what the crowd is thinking the simple tool mentioned is
28:11google trends just track search interest for key terms bitcoin etf ethereum staking solana price sui
28:19gaming whatever it is spikes mean more interest big spikes in search volume often show when new retail
28:25interest is flooding in it's a pretty good though lagging indicator of market sentiment heating up or cooling down
28:32using dominance on chain data and sentiment together gives you a much clearer picture of the market's health
28:39hashtag gag outro look we've laid out the map based on the research but everyone's journey through this
28:45landscape is going to be different it really boils down to your own view your own tolerance for risk
28:49so for you listening here's something to chew on pulling directly from the kinds of questions these
28:53sources pose fast forward to say 2026 markets potentially peaking where would you rather have put your focus
29:00would you lean towards bitcoin you know the relative safety the institutional backing capturing those
29:06foundational gains or would you have aimed for something like sui accepting way more risk more
29:12unknowns for that shot at potentially explosive maybe 50x type returns it's the classic risk reward question
29:20or think about the platform battle ethereum versus solana which one do you think truly wins the next
29:26cycle in terms of actual usage will it be ethereum locking in the institutions with tokenization and d5
29:31or solana capturing the masses with speed low fees and maybe that next killer app or game yeah where
29:38do you see the most activity landing the sources make compelling cases for both the established giants
29:43and the disruptive newcomers there isn't one single right answer it depends on your thesis absolutely
29:48well that brings us to the end of this deep dive into the five crypto pillars analysts are watching for
29:53the next bull run you know putting together this kind of analysis digging through all the source material
29:57from researchers analysts content creators in this space it takes a lot of work it really does yeah
30:03and we notice something consistent across the sources especially those creating video or online content
30:09like the channels providing this kind of research what's that how much they emphasize audience
30:14engagement it sounds cliche sometimes but for them it's apparently the lifeblood right the sources
30:19explicitly mention this things like hitting like subscribing commenting ringing the notification bell
30:25it's not just for vanity metrics no apparently it directly helps their content get seen by more
30:31people through the algorithms it boosts visibility and that visibility is what allows them to keep
30:37dedicating resources to doing the deep research putting out quality analysis and basically funding
30:43the kind of work that feeds into discussions like the one we're having today exactly so that engagement
30:49that support from the audience it's presented as genuinely vital for sustaining the flow of this kind
30:54of in-depth crypto information and analysis something to keep in mind when you find content you value
31:00definitely food for thought a huge thank you for joining us on this exploration today we hope this
31:04framework helps you navigate the road ahead yeah take these ideas dig deeper form your own conclusions
31:10until next time stay curious and stay informed
