Is Michael Saylor About to Trigger a Bitcoin Death Spiral?

Bitcoin just broke below its 200-week moving average, Strategy’s STRC is cracking, MSTR is under pressure, and the rumor spreading fast is that Michael Saylor may be forced to sell Bitcoin. But is this really the beginning of a Bitcoin death spiral — or just another brutal shakeout in a long-term cycle? In this episode, Hurley breaks down Saylor liquidation fears, STRC and MSTR panic, Bitcoin’s realized price, ETF outflows, the AI bubble, fiat currency collapse, and why the real death spiral may not be Bitcoin at all.
