This is the brutal math of a Bitcoin crash that each one of us needs to understand.
The total crypto market cap (TOTAL) is currently ~$2.85T.
Bitcoin's market cap is ~$1.70T.
If BTC drops 50%, it loses ~$850B in value.
This would drag TOTAL down to approximately $2.00T.
The terrifying part? This means the entire rest of the market—every single altcoin from Ethereum to the smallest micro-cap—would be left with a combined market cap of only ~$300-400B to share between them.
The result would be a bloodbath of catastrophic proportions for alts. Most would see declines far exceeding Bitcoin's 50%, with many high-beta coins facing -70%, -90%, or even total collapse as liquidity evaporates.
When the TOTAL drops violently, it reveals who's swimming naked.
