The people behind The Markets Unplugged
Two analysts. Publishing in the open.
The Markets Unplugged is built by two analysts who publish under the names Doc and Oz. The tools, the research and the calls on this site come from them directly, not from a content team. This page is who they are, what each one focuses on, and the body of work behind them.
Doc leads on-chain and alt-sector research at The Markets Unplugged, and hosts the Crypto Unplugged podcast, the platform's media arm. His on-chain work asks the same question of Bitcoin and of Ethereum, separately: where does this asset sit in its own cycle, judged against its own history rather than against the mood of the market. Each gets its own engine rather than one borrowed from the other, because the two chains do not leave the same evidence behind. In practice that means reading valuation, holder behaviour and spending against years of history, and being willing to say when the picture is unclear.
The second half of his work is alt research. Rather than chase whatever is moving, he keeps alt coverage organised by sector and compares names against their own peers, so a position is judged on relative standing rather than on momentum. Every review is dated, and where a name has not been looked at again it is shown as carried forward rather than quietly treated as reconfirmed.
Doc holds an MA in Linguistics from the UK and has a background in education, which shows in how the research is explained rather than simply asserted.
Oz leads technical, macro and cycle analysis at The Markets Unplugged. Where Doc reads the chain, Oz reads timing and conditions: when in a cycle a low has historically tended to form, what the wider macro backdrop is doing to risk appetite, and whether the crypto market itself is internally healthy or quietly deteriorating. He publishes the Cycle Read every Monday, which is where most of that work reaches members first, and he is the analyst walking through the charts on the Crypto Unplugged YouTube channel.
His frameworks deliberately answer narrow questions rather than broad ones. One brackets when, not how low. One reads the macro regime by comparing this year against every year on record. One asks a single weekly question about Bitcoin and refuses to answer anything else. He is also the instructor on the Cycle Intelligence course, where the macro and volatility work is taught in full rather than summarised.
Oz holds a BSc in Computer Science from the UK and has a background in education, which shows in frameworks he has built and coded himself rather than borrowed off a shelf.
Crypto Unplugged is the media arm of The Markets Unplugged, and it runs on two tracks. The podcast, hosted by Doc, has passed 130 episodes with listeners in over 130 countries, and its guest list spans traders, journalists, founders and mainstream finance. The YouTube channel is where Oz walks through the charts, with Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoin analysis built around macro, on-chain data and technical context. Between them they are the longest-running public record of how this team thinks, which is the point of keeping both free.
