Less Noise, More Signal
Welcome to Less Noise, More Signal. In a world saturated with news, hype, and endless chatter, finding clarity can seem like searching for a needle in a haystack. I have taken on this challenge and made it my mission to cut through the noise by amplifying the signal.
Who am I? I am Pascal Hügli. With a background in political philosophy, a career in investment management, and a deep expertise in Bitcoin and digital assets, I am here to explore the ideas and connections that others do not bother to see. It’s not just about finding the right answers; it’s about asking the right questions.
In each episode, I interview the most insightful thinkers in their respective fields. Every guest contributes a vital piece to the puzzle, helping us form a clearer picture of the forces shaping our world of macro, finance, and money.
Listen in as my guests and I tilt the balance from noise to signal, one podcast episode at a time. Let’s cut through the clutter and focus on what truly matters. Ready to elevate your understanding? Let’s dive in.

Senior Analyst: "Bitcoin-linked stock market is growing rapidly"
In this conversation, James Van Straten and Pascal Huegli explore the evolving landscape of Bitcoin, focusing on its adoption by corporations, the implications for companies labeled as 'zombie' entities, and the unique case of El Salvador as a pioneer in Bitcoin integration. They discuss the cyclical nature of Bitcoin's market, the strategies companies are employing to incorporate Bitcoin into their treasury, and the potential future of Bitcoin as a distinct asset class. The conversation also touches on the role of miners and the complexities of their business models in relation to Bitcoin's price movements. Last but not least, they talk about the implications of MicroStrategy's leverage on Bitcoin, and the potential impact of FASB rules on Bitcoin treasury companies.
