Dan Tapiero, a macro investor trained under hedge fund legends Julian Robertson and Michael Steinhardt, breaks down why Bitcoin's brutal, stagnant price action isn't random but a psychological mechanism designed to shake out the most people before its biggest moves.

He explains the "big round number" thesis behind why $100,000 stopped the rally cold, and why early holders taking 100x profits is a natural part of market distribution.

Dan also lays out the math behind his long-term belief that Bitcoin could reach $1,000,000.
