The Mining Disrupt News Surge for Monday, October 13, 2025 opened with a correction. The week before, the host had called the month September. It was October, he said, which put the show about a month out from the second Mining Disrupt Expo in Dallas, Texas. He told viewers he was seeing more sponsors, more exhibitors and more people every day, and called the event a doozy in the heart of Bitcoin mining country.
He also reminded viewers that the show is for entertainment and education, not financial advice, before moving to the numbers.
Back where it was a month earlier
Bitcoin, he said, was back to roughly where it had been a month before. By his account the price had sat around 117 for most of September, pumped at the start of October, and was at 118 when he recorded the episode on October 10. His read of that pullback was the headline of the show: the market might be at a bottom.
We might be in the bottom of this market.

He pointed to the network to back the mood. Fees were still low, unconfirmed transactions were moving, hash rate looked strong, and public nodes were closing in on 25,000. "Things are looking very healthy," he said.
The luck argument and the bell curve
The next segment took on a line Bitcoin holders hear often: that they got lucky, or timed the market with inside information. The host's answer was the familiar one, that it is time in the market rather than timing the market. He then read a post from the account Rational Aussie, which predicted people would look back on this period and call Bitcoiners lucky.
I assure you there is absolutely nothing lucky about betting your entire net worth on something the entire world has consistently written off

The same post went on to say that holders had waited several years for the payoff and doubled down every time the price crashed, and that everything was lined up for a large move up. The host used it to describe the bell curve meme: the newcomer who bought because it was fun at one end, the long-time researcher with thousands of hours of reading at the other, and in the middle the skeptics who say Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and is just numbers on a screen.
He turned that last claim around. A bank account, a stock portfolio and most equity are also numbers on a screen, he said.
What do you think basically everything at this point is besides numbers on a screen?

Seventh largest asset, few holders
He then showed a chart, shared in a post, that ranked Bitcoin as the seventh largest asset in the world. The author of that post wrote that they did not know a single person in real life who owned any Bitcoin, invested in it directly or wanted to hear about it. The host said the gap between the size of the asset and how few people hold it is the point.
Ask almost anyone about gold, Nvidia, Microsoft or Apple, he said, and they have heard of them, and probably know someone invested in them. Against a world of 8 billion people, he guessed that the number who have done anything at all with Bitcoin is somewhere from tens of millions to perhaps 500 million. In his view, that is not many.
What a dollar buys
The longest segment was about measurement. He pointed viewers to a long post from un_the_profit and summed up its argument in one line: Bitcoin is the measuring stick, and everything else is losing value against it.
To show it, he described something he said he stumbled on by accident. Typing BTC into Google returns the familiar Bitcoin price chart. Adding a dollar sign to the search returns a different chart, the value of one dollar priced in Bitcoin. He walked through the time ranges from five days to the maximum and said the line went down at every one of them.
This is what a dollar buys you.

He said he expected that trend to continue.
Gold and the cycle
He also read a post from The Kobeissi Letter, written on October 5, when Bitcoin was closing in on $125,000. It put Bitcoin's market cap at $2.5 trillion, $23.8 trillion less than gold, which made gold about 10.5 times larger. Even at a million dollars per coin, with gold unchanged, the post said, Bitcoin would still be only 75% of the size of gold.
The last post came from an account called tech 52, which the host said he had just started following. It argued there has never been a four-year halving cycle, only a business cycle that happened to turn about every four years, near the halvings.
It's at a bottom, not a top.

The host said the chart in that post pointed to a large top around the middle of the following year, and added that whether that happens remained to be seen.
Tick tock, next block
He closed on the phrase he uses to sign off and explained what he means by it: as long as Bitcoin keeps doing what it does and the rest of the world keeps spinning, Bitcoin will be fine.
All I know is tick- tock next block.

He asked viewers to scan the QR code for tickets to the Dallas expo and said he would see them there in about a month, and back on the show the following Monday.
When this episode was published, Bitcoin traded at $114,313. On October 26, 2026 it was $79,897.
