Ashdrake Looks Back on Missing the Bull Market

Ledger Cast has started a new interview series, and its first guest is a figure many crypto traders will remember. Host Brian Krogsgard talks with Ashdrake, whose tweet from late 2016, posted just before bitcoin's parabolic run, became a piece of crypto trading lore. Co-host Josh Olszewicz runs the show alongside Krogsgard.

The episode is not just a retrospective on one meme-worthy post. The conversation covers how Ashdrake first got into crypto, what shaped the outlook behind that tweet, and what happened in his trading life afterward. The hosts pitch it as a story about the emotional side of trading, the kind of grind that anyone who has spent time in these markets is likely to recognize.

That focus is what sets the interview apart from a simple meme recap. Missing a big move is a common experience for traders, and the discussion looks at how that kind of miss can shape later decisions, and what it takes to keep going through a long stretch of losses or regret. For listeners who have had a rough run of their own, the conversation may hit close to home.

Ledger Cast covers crypto trading and the broader blockchain ecosystem. New episodes are available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, YouTube and via RSS. The hosts stress that the show is educational and not investment advice, and that listeners should do their own research before buying anything. This episode also carries a sponsorship from Matcha, a decentralized trading interface built by the team behind 0x Protocol.
