Is Bitcoin Still Even a Thing?

⚠️ Not financial advice — just Dave talking through what he's actually watching. Recorded Friday, Aug 14, 2026 with Bitcoin around $62.9K. Prices have moved since — check the chart before you do anything. Is crypto still a thing? Is Bitcoin still a thing? Is Dave still buying?? He hasn't gone anywhere — and this one is strictly Bitcoin. Dave goes solo to break down where BTC actually sits after a brutal summer: why the Google Trends chart is flatlined and why that's the bullish part, why liquidity ran to AI, memory, silver and the S&P instead of crypto, and why he's never stopped dollar cost averaging. He gets transparent about getting rekt — 1.3 BTC one cycle, half a BTC stacked through the 2023 bear — and what those lessons actually cost him. In this episode: When to buy, what to buy, and why "what are your goals?" is the only real answer Are we at the bottom? The repeating pattern of dumping back to the previous cycle's top Why the liquidity went to AI, data centers, memory and metals — and not to crypto The Clarity Act, the banks pushing for it, and why Dave thinks price is being suppressed Borrowing against your Bitcoin instead of selling it Where the alts actually stand — BitTensor, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink World Liberty Financial becoming a bank, and why Dave calls it a grift Gen Z turning sports betting into a "real investment strategy" — and the numbers behind it The bottom line: don't fade Bitcoin. Learn it, decide your own goals, and stop letting the price action run your emotions. 👉 Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more Brick by Brick CONTENT!
