Scott Melker has officially flipped bullish and says $125,000 is just a pit stop on the way to $1 million Bitcoin.

Scott Melker, market commentator with over a million subscribers and a daily show on Yahoo Finance, joins the show to break down why he stopped trading altogether, why the Treasury just gave Bitcoin its next real catalyst, and why the resilience shown this summer is the real story nobody is talking about.

Here is what we cover:

• Why Scott rates his current bullishness at 8.5 out of 10

• The Silicon Valley Bank parallel and why that failure quietly launched the last bull run

• Why Bessent's bond buyback announcement is a signal, not the actual mechanism, and what it really tells you

• Why liquidated shorts only explain Bitcoin's move up to about $71,000 and what changed after that

• Why Scott was the most vocal critic of Bitcoin treasury companies and the story of getting pitched seven of them in ten minutes at Bitcoin Vegas

• Why the whale wallets that never sold before finally started selling on the way down into the sixties

• Why every worst case scenario of this cycle, including Saylor selling Bitcoin, failed to actually crash the price

• The debt situation, forty trillion dollars, and what Scott thinks Bessent actually has to do next

• Why the four year cycle proponents were early but may still end up right, and why this drawdown broke the standard playbook

• Why Bitcoin's real story this summer was resilience, not price action

Scott's honest take on self custody, why he still recommends a mix of multisig, hardware wallets, and ETFs depending on the person

• The origin story of Scott's viral moment and why removing the holier-than-thou attitude from Bitcoin content resonated with so many people

• Why Scott thinks the AI trade ends in a spectacular explosion eventually, even if the timing is impossible to call

• How producing music trained Scott's brain for chart pattern recognition before he ever got into trading

This is one of the most candid conversations about where Bitcoin stands right now from someone who has been right, wrong, and back again.
