With Xavier on the road, Mark takes on this week's ABCD Roundup solo. Crypto winter chills the markets as Bitcoin pulls back from its October highs, sparking renewed debate over the four-year cycle and whether investors are facing the early stages of a deeper drawdown. Mark breaks down why the latest volatility may reflect classic market psychology and how fair value models, such as Metcalfe's Law, help frame where Bitcoin may be headed next. He also digs into the growing pressure across broader markets, from deteriorating balance sheets to speculative excess in AI, quantum computing, and nuclear power. Additionally, Mark discusses issues, including how whales are moving coins, the rising scrutiny faced by digital-asset treasury companies, and the looming threat of CBDCs, which raises questions about privacy and financial freedom.
