Bitcoin Fortress Podcast — Episode 229 The Price is in a Bear Market. Bitcoin Isn't. Date: August 16, 2026 Block Height: 962764 Moscow Time: 1583 Fees: 1 / 1 /1 In this episode: Bitcoin remains stuck in a frustrating bear market, but beneath the price action the network and its surrounding infrastructure continue to strengthen. This week we look at whale accumulation, ETF flows, miner selling, Strategy and the evolving Bitcoin treasury model, the convergence of Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure, and the emergence of institutional Bitcoin-backed credit. We also examine the latest delay in the CLARITY Act, the SEC’s regulatory push, Tether’s first Big Four audit, growing Wall Street exposure, and another reminder about the importance of privacy and self-custody. Plus, we survey the Bitcoin podcast universe, feature “The Discipline of Enough,” and discuss why sometimes the hardest part of a Bitcoin bear market isn’t price pain—it’s time.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.

We also examine the latest delay in the CLARITY Act, the SEC’s regulatory push, Tether’s first Big Four audit, growing Wall Street exposure, and another reminder about the importance of privacy and self-custody. Plus, we survey the Bitcoin podcast universe, feature “The Discipline of Enough,” and discuss why sometimes the hardest part of a Bitcoin bear market isn’t price pain—it’s time.

Listen Show Notes

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

How do agency tiers work?

What is a talent profile?

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
