Will Trump’s bubble burst with crypto?

Bitcoin has halved in value since October, and this is not a routine market correction. It is a crash.

In this video, I explain why crypto has no underlying value, why the collapse still has further to go, and why banks that lent money so people could speculate on Bitcoin are now exposed.

I also look at the growing fragility in stock markets and tech valuations, including AI, and explain why this could become a systemic crisis that makes 2008 look mild by comparison.

Trump promised that crypto and markets would make his supporters rich. If those bubbles burst, the political consequences could be just as severe as the financial ones.

This is not speculation. The evidence is now visible in the markets, and yesterday's volatility just proves it.
