Quantitative Tightening Ends - Preston Pysh Explains Why Bitcoin Could Go Parabolic in 2026

In this episode, I chat with Preston Pysh, investor, educator, and host of Bitcoin Fundamentals on The Investor’s Podcast Network.

We dive into everything from confusing macro signals and monetary policy pivots to his thoughts on the evolution of the four-year cycle. We also get into the political chess game of the Fed, what Trump might be planning for Powell’s replacement, and how institutions like Harvard are signaling strong conviction in Bitcoin.

If you’re trying to make sense of the weird vibes in the market, this episode is for you.
