I explained 6 years ago why Plan B’s Stock-to-Flow Bitcoin model was doomed and would fail. Few believed me. Most insulted me. Today, I can confidently declare that I was right and Plan B was wrong.Watch the video of this episode!Also, watch my May 2020 video that started all the controversy and read the detailed article about why Plan B’s stock-to-flow model was doomed!In mid-2026, with the price of Bitcoin languishing around $65,000, below the lowest stock-to-flow band, we can officially declare that Plan B’s stock-to-flow model is dead.I waited until Bitcoin was consistently below the outer bands before declaring “victory” in my debate with Plan B. It’s a Pyrrhic victory because I was hoping all along that he would be right and I would be wrong, since I have stacked bitcoin.Unfortunately, time proved me right.Ultimately, Plan B’s model was only good for one Bitcoin cycle.Given how wide a price band the model has, it’s unsurprising that it lasted for four years.However, it couldn’t keep up with the aggressive, uber-optimistic price prediction.What do you think?Put your thoughts in the comments.ConnectSend me an anonymous voicemail at SpeakPipe.com/FTaponYou can post comments, ask questions, and sign up for my Substack newsletter.If you like this podcast, subscribe and share!On social media, my username is always FTapon.

My mom often says, “If I die….”I sometimes accidentally say the same thing.The “if” is a cognitive security blanket I pull over my head so I can pretend that death — the only thing every single human being who has ever lived has accomplished — might somehow not apply to me. As though the universe looked at my particular assortment of questionable decisions and said, “This one, we keep.”It will not say that. I am, biologically speaking, a disaster in slow motion. I have a weakening knee. I have eaten gas station sushi. Twice. I once stayed up until 3 am reading reviews for a blender I did not buy.“If I die, give my record collection to someone who will actually appreciate it.”Wrong.“When I die, some stranger at an estate sale is going to pay $4 for a crate containing my entire personality.”The “if” started innocently enough. Parents use it. “If something happens to me...” they say, then trail off.But I’ve decided to stop. As an act of radical honesty, I am replacing every “if I die” with “when I die,” and I am inviting you to join me in this terrifying linguistic journey.Let’s tryBefore: “If I die, make sure the kids know I loved them.”After: “When I die, make sure the kids know I loved them — and also that the router password is taped inside the drawer.”What do you think?Put your thoughts in the comments.ConnectSend me an anonymous voicemail at SpeakPipe.com/FTaponYou can post comments, ask questions, and sign up for my Substack newsletter.If you like this podcast, subscribe and share!On social media, my username is always FTapon.
