2025 challenged a lot of assumptions about Bitcoin. Prices moved, institutions showed up in new ways, regulation evolved unevenly, and debates around ossification versus functionality became harder to ignore. In this #CMCLive, Anthony Pompliano and Will Clemente sit down with builders and researchers from across the Bitcoin ecosystem to reflect on what truly mattered beneath the headlines. Joined by Brendon Sedo, Paul Sztorc, and Matt Cybula, the panel unpacks whether 2025 was a year of consolidation or a real turning point, how institutional demands are reshaping the stack, which early narratives proved wrong, and what would actually signal Bitcoin’s maturity by the end of 2026.
