A thread. 👇

Could the relation between #Bitcoin's S2F & price also be spurious?
... what? 🤔
Wikipedia: "Cointegration is a statistical property of a collection of time series variables." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cointegra…
In #Bitcoin's S2F model, both S2F & price are time series variables.

For a full summary of that, see this thread:
"A stationary process has the property that the mean, variance and autocorrelation structure do not change over time." - itl.nist.gov/div898/handboo…
If it is stationary ("I(0)"): No cointegration.
If it is non-stationery ("I(1)"): Cointegration.
No pressure. No pressure at all.
E.g., with daily data, the S2F ratio doubles within a single day, creating an abrupt jump in the model-price like we saw in the earlier versions of the S2F charts that @100trillionUSD shared.
However; with a larger window (e.g. 1 year like is used for gold), S2F becomes more non-stationary.
Using it in a graph is one thing, but using it in your data-analysis can be tricky, as @BurgerCryptoAM also points out:
