Bitcoin’s Risk-Reward Has Completely Changed w/ Mike McGlone & Jamie Coutts
Real VisionJamie Coutts sits down with Bloomberg Intelligence commodity strategist Mike McGlone for a sharply contrarian discussion on bitcoin, gold, and the future of digital assets. In this exclusive preview, Mike explains why he believes bitcoin’s “glory days” are behind it, arguing that its deteriorating risk-adjusted returns no longer compensate investors for the volatility they take compared with the S&P 500. At the same time, Mike remains bullish on tokenization, stablecoins, and blockchain-based financial infrastructure, even as he believes much of the speculative crypto market still needs to be purged. Jamie challenges his thesis, questioning whether falling bitcoin volatility could make the asset more attractive to institutions, while they also examine the Fed, tighter policy, and the growing macro headwinds facing bitcoin and gold.
