Why 2026 Could Be Crypto’s Biggest Comeback Year Yet.

The signals are incredibly clear.

First things first, I’ve got to give a massive shoutout to all of you for rocking with me through 2025.

It’s been a wild ride.

We hit some significant milestones together. Reached 8,000 Subscribers here on Substack and got into the top 5 rising Crypto Newsletters. Became the most-followed NFT writer on Medium, jumped onto TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Apple Podcast, SnapChat, and Instagram, and we’re pulling in 30,000 views on some of our videos already.

We’ve only scratched the surface.

I took a little breather over Christmas, hung out with family, recharged the batteries, and now I feel back on track to really swing for the fences in the new year.

You’ll get a fresh blog post every Sunday.

I hear you loud and clear in the comments that you would like more research content on the larger-cap tokens, since there was a lot of NFT content. I’m trying to get the balance right, but expect more content on Bitcoin and, of course, SUI, which is my strong bet for this cycle, as well as the blue-chip layer-one projects you may have exposure to.

Many doomsdayers thought the cycle was over, but the signals couldn’t be any clearer.

We have now had a period of consolidation over the last 6 weeks, as depicted in the Bitcoin chart below, and that lovely-looking wedge pattern.

Whatever your thoughts on technical analysis, the wedge pattern usually represents a move to the upside 64% of the time.

It’s eerily accurate. But let’s see how it plays out.

Next week, we’ll be back to our usual live streaming schedule, every Wednesday at 9 AM Eastern with me, Simon and Burge talking all things Crypto and digging into current events.

I plan to have chart expert Bren on sporadically for real-time technical analysis breakdowns of the charts.

The feedback about these live streams has been incredible, with an average of 600 live viewers.

If you miss anything, you can catch up on the Carrot Lane Apple Podcasts or watch the full recording on YouTube.

I am doubling down on some killer interviews with top crypto traders, VCs, and founders to squeeze the best insights from the most high-calibre people in the space. As we grow, the interviews will get better and better.

Now, let’s talk crypto.

I know some of you have been feeling a bit down because prices took a hit recently. But all the signs are pointing to a strong comeback.

The dollar’s dipping, oil’s at a 5-year low, which is essentially a tax on the entire system, the ISM has bottomed, and interest rates are dropping not just in the US but also at 95% of central banks around the world.

While no one knows what will happen in the short term, I give us very little chance of falling into a 12-month bear market. In fact, it is the exact opposite. We’ve got a nice little tailwind pushing us into 2026.

In the same way, when Bitcoin was at $16k after the FTX and Luna debacle and Silicon Valley banks were going under, people thought it was the end. I believe we will look back at this moment in the same way.

There is nothing in this market to suggest any signs of overheating. So don’t be a tourist. Stick it out, invest in your education with a strong community, and your future self will thank you.

If you want to support the work we’re doing here and be part of the community, please consider upgrading your subscription to paid or joining the Founding Members group.

If you’re already a Founding member, I appreciate you more than you know. Everything we create here will be with that group in mind.

Their support helps me grow this and deliver the best no-jargon, no-fluff content around these assets that people love to overcomplicate.

Let's turn 2026 into a year we all remember.

Thanks for being part of this ride!
