Bitcoin’s recent price action has renewed debate over whether the market has already seen its cycle low. Anthony Pompliano, widely known as “Pomp,” said he is “pretty confident that was the bottom at $60K,” adding that the move has drawn renewed attention from investors watching Bitcoin’s next direction.
Pompliano’s confidence in a $60K bottom is tied to Bitcoin’s fundamentals. He argued that Bitcoin offers “certainty” that traditional assets cannot match. Unlike gold or U.S. Treasuries, Bitcoin’s fixed supply and transparent monetary policy, in his view, make it easier for investors to understand what they own.
He also linked the formation of the floor to a shift in investor sentiment. When prices hovered around $60K, he said many retail and institutional participants were still hesitant, and the market needed to move “from fear to confidence” before a sustained recovery could take hold.
Institutional activity, according to Pompliano, supported the $60K turning point. He cited buyers such as Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy accumulating during that period, creating consistent demand against Bitcoin’s fixed supply. At the same time, he cautioned against attributing the recovery to a single actor, describing it instead as a “confluence of events.”
Pompliano also challenged the traditional view of Bitcoin’s four-year cycle, arguing that “volatility compression” has changed market behavior. He said price moves now happen faster and with less dramatic drawdowns than in previous cycles, which—if the pattern continues—could mean $60K represents the deepest pullback of the current cycle.
Beyond the price call, Pompliano described structural reasons Bitcoin may remain well-positioned. He characterized Bitcoin as “the only asset” combining digital scarcity, decentralization, and predictable monetary policy. In periods of geopolitical tension and economic volatility, he argued, those traits attract capital because investors seeking certainty have fewer alternatives outside Bitcoin.
Pompliano also addressed the growing overlap between artificial intelligence and crypto. He argued that AI systems will increasingly require assets such as Bitcoin and stablecoins to operate, framing both industries under the broader theme of “automation.” In that context, he described crypto infrastructure as a foundational layer for an emerging automation economy.
He noted that venture firm a16z has raised a dedicated fund aimed at this convergence.
On which parts of the crypto market he expects to last, Pompliano said he has strong conviction in Bitcoin, stablecoins, equity infrastructure, and tokenization. He argued that most altcoins and meme coins are unlikely to recover meaningfully, and suggested a different approach: “provide the venue” for speculation rather than being the one speculating.
While he acknowledged that Bitcoin’s era of delivering 100x returns is behind it, Pompliano said he remains bullish on its long-term performance and expects Bitcoin to outperform equities over a sustained period.
For investors who missed the $60K entry, his message was direct: “the bottom,” in his assessment, is already in.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
