Bitcoin back at $81,000: Calacanis, Saylor and Wood debate the 'dead cat'

  • Bitcoin traded above $81,000 on September 18, below its October 2025 high of $126,080
  • Calacanis compared BTC to CDs in the Spotify era and DVDs in the Netflix era
  • Saylor called bitcoin a $1.6 trillion success and a store of wealth
  • Spot bitcoin ETFs drew $433 million: FBTC $310.7 million, IBIT $108.4 million
Why it matters: The debate reflects disagreement over whether bitcoin is a means of payment or a store of value, against the backdrop of institutional capital flowing in through ETFs.
