In this episode, Lloyd James Ross breaks down why he believes the Bitcoin “death spiral” has already started and what it could mean for your money, especially if you’re exposed to crypto. He unpacks MicroStrategy’s massive leveraged Bitcoin bet, the looming unwind of the Japanese carry trade, and how these risks could trigger a chain reaction across crypto, stocks, property, and even the Australian dollar. From margin calls and forced selling to behavioral traps like HODL culture and hype-driven investing, this is a blunt, no-fluff look at systemic risk, capital preservation, and how to actually prepare for a major market shock instead of getting caught in it.
