In case you missed it, I published "Whales and Retail" as part of the Kana and Katana monthly update. This novel approach suggests that whales are more likely to be trend following, while retailers tend to be value investors.
The approach uses network data and exchange flows to segment different market participants into "whales" and "retailers." Using Wyckoff we can make some guesses about how these two groups attempt to make the best of each other.
Another interesting observation is that market bottoms tend to happen near the "bottoming signature" which is what happens when both whales and retail accumulate #bitcoin at the same time, causing a supply shortage on exchanges where price discovery happens.
Last but not least, Adjusted Binary BDD shows that we are clearly in a heavy accumulation period. Couple this with the recent halving and you've got fireworks. HODL on my friends. Let Bitcoin do the heavy lifting.

After reading @FriskyFoxDK's latest announcement in the DFK Discord I still believe the optimal strategy for capital allocators is to participate in the gardens, bank, and questing. Depending on stack size and liquidity I recommend gardens -> bank -> heroes in that order.
If you might need your capital right away, I would just start with the bank because there's no penalty on withdrawing whenever you want. If you don't mind being allocated for a month or more, the gardens are a great place to collect rewards.
If you're slightly more well capitalized and thinking long-term, heroes are the next logical step to juice your rewards and they actually provide a bit of a hedge against price fluctuations (jewel up, hero price in jewel down and vice verse).
There is a game that's relatively unknown right now called DeFi Kingdoms. I have been doing a deep-dive on this project over the last month and I have found it to be massively compelling for the following reasons.
1. It's properly positioned for the Metaverse mega-trend.
2. The total addressable market is huge, and this project is growing very quickly. I expect this to continue due to the fact that the team behind the game are executing on a very bold vision and hitting it out of the park. 3. The community is strong and growing fast
This month in #Bitcoin
- China boots miners out for real this time; hash power drop spooks market as miners relocate
- @Hut8Mining buys enough equipment to double their hash rate
- Bitcoin mempool remains operational despite a 50% drop in hash power
- Puell multiple hits green levels
- Michael Saylor buys another $600mm of BTC

This month in Macro Fiscal/Monetary land
- ECB hasn’t raised rates in 10 years
- Fed has “muzzled the market” - Druckenmiller

- M2 increases 22% over the trailing year setting new record
Ok, here we go. It's time for another mega-thread on #Bitcoin, energy consumption, and net value for society. First of all, realize that all judgements of this sort come down to values. What do you value? What's important to you? Secondly, what does the data show? 🧵👇
I can tell you what I value. I care about human rights and global inequity. Bitcoin is one of the most potent technologies we've ever seen for protecting human rights. @gladstein
Bitcoin miners and their mining pools (1 hop and 0 hop essentially) still have a lot of supply. But as you can see, the long-term trend is downward for their stockpile.
