2026 Predictions: AI Hype, Market Mayhem, and What We Got Wrong About 2025

Let's talk about how spectacularly wrong (and occasionally right) everyone was about 2025, and what it means for the year ahead. We're diving into Bitcoin's wild ride to $126k and back, why the TikTok ban never happened, and the Trump-Musk bromance that wasn't built to last. Plus, we're looking at what experts are predicting for 2026—spoiler alert: more AI hype, a housing market 'Great Reset,' and everyone's holding their breath for GTA VI. I'll share why these predictions matter for anyone working in tech, and what the pattern of missed calls tells us about forecasting in an AI-driven world. This episode is all about understanding not just what happened, but why our collective predictions keep missing the mark—and how to think more clearly about what's coming next.
