I ran the video through Gemini to thoroughly fact check it:

"The Verdict: The video is factually accurate regarding market data, dates, and historical events. Ben McKenzie’s critique relies on a specific economic definition of "value" (cash flow/utility) that crypto proponents reject, but his numbers check out. The "Bitcoin to $0" claim is a theoretical economic argument, not a verified fact, but the conditions he describes (market crash, ETF contagion) are actively happening in the current market context (Feb 2026).
Ben McKenzie isn't lying to you. He's just the guy telling you the casino is on fire while everyone else is trying to win their money back."
