The Bitcoin Sell-Off That Nobody Predicted - What Happened?

About this episode

This episode analyzes the unprecedented Bitcoin sell-off and its implications for the market.

Bitcoin just suffered the largest dollar-value crash in its history — without fraud, exchange failure, or a black swan. In this episode of No Second Best, we break down how Bitcoin's new derivatives-driven market structure triggered a violent unwind, why conviction never actually broke, and how the same mechanics could fuel the next upside squeeze. This isn't a failure of Bitcoin — it's a sign of monetization in real time.
