In this emergency bonus episode of Merryn Talks Money, Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek unpack a sudden crypto selloff that has seen Bitcoin tumble nearly 50% from its highs, confounding expectations that it would behave like “digital gold.”

To make sense of the chaos, they’re joined by Charlie Morris, founder and chairman of ByteTree, who explains why Bitcoin trades more like a tech asset than a safe haven — and why its brutal volatility may be a feature, not a bug. The conversation digs into Bitcoin’s four-year cycles, its relationship with liquidity and tech stocks, fears around quantum computing, and whether regulation or stablecoins change the long-term case.
