The Income Show is back with host Joe Burnett, joined by Brian Harrington to discuss how he identified a likely Bitcoin bottom and navigated the latest bear market. Brian explains why he rebuilt his portfolio around income, why passive index investing no longer interests him, and how he maps products across a simplified Bitcoin yield curve. They also explore digital credit, Strategy preferreds, covered-call funds, Bitcoin-backed lending, stablecoins, and the role of predictable cash flow in reducing Bitcoin’s volatility barrier. Finally, they consider Bitcoin’s future returns, the path from income products to direct Bitcoin ownership, and why both longtime holders and newer participants may need to rethink old assumptions.
