How do previous Bitcoin crashes compare to this week’s Tariff Troubles? Colin and Charlie analyze Bitcoin's recent 30% drop from $109K to $76K in context of previous market crashes. We compare the COVID crash of 2020, the Terra/Luna collapse of 2022, and the FTX insolvency in November that same year. We cover how market sentiment in each crash despite similar percentage drops, explore how exogenous and endogenous factors affected declines and recoveries – plus, why the current drawdown, mired in macro turmoil, most resembles the March 2020 COVID crash.
