#Bitcoin is in a supply and liquidity crisis.

This is extremely bullish! And highly underrated.

I believe we will see this significantly reflected in Bitcoin's price in the upcoming months.

Let's take a look at the data.

A thread 👇👇👇
1/ Accumulation Balance

The amount of bitcoins held in accumulation addresses is 2.7M BTC.

Those are addresses that have only received bitcoins, and never spent funds.

True HODLers, hoarding 14.5 % of the circulating supply.

2/ Lost Coins

21 milltion bitcoins? You wish.

That's just the hard cap – considering lost coins, the real number is much less.

No one knows for sure how many, but estimations point to at least 3M.

That's 16% less circulating BTC available.

3/ Institutional #BTC Demand

@Grayscale (573M BTC), @MicroStrategy ($475M), @sqcrypto ($50M), Ruffer ($745M), @massmutual ($100M) – all buying up supply.

Do you really think they're alone? Of course not.

Expect many more on the move. They're coming – gradually, then suddenly.
4/ Speaking of @Grayscale:

Bitcoins added to the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust in the past 6 months: ~210,000 BTC

Bitcoins mined in the past 6 months: ~185.000 BTC

That's right, Grayscale has been buying up more bitcoins than the amount issued.

Talk about a supply crisis!

5/ Exchange Balances

Liquidity is vanishing from exchanges.

We're seeing the longest depletion of exchange funds.

Since January, the BTC supply on exchanges dropped a staggering 20%.

#BTC is being pulled to long-term storage, custodian wallets, etc.

6/ Liquid #Bitcoin Supply

14.4M BTC is held by illiquid entities – that is 78% (!) of the current supply.

Illiquid entities spend less than 25% of the BTC they receive, acting as supply sinks in the network.

Yes, only 12% of the BTC supply is liquid, according to this metric.
7/ #Bitcoin Miner Supply

Are miners cashing out at these prices? I don't think so.

The amount of miner unspent supply (BTC that has never left the miner address) has been increasing since the last halving.

Current miner balance: 1.7M $BTC

1/ Where are we in the #Bitcoin market cycle?

A look at some of the most important on-chain market indicators.

TLDR: Insanely bullish, most metrics are far from the top. If things develop anything like 2017, we could see more than 10x $BTC from here.

A THREAD 👇
2/ MVRV Z-Score ($240,000)

Current value: At only 34% of the 2017 top.

Price in 2017 increased +1,150% to ATH.

A +1,150% increase today: $BTC at $240,000

3/ Net Unrealized Profit/Loss ($286,000)

1/ A thread showing 12 charts that illustrate #Bitcoin investor confidence and increased HODLing behavior.

Spoiler: This is long-term extremely bullish.

(data @glassnode)

Let's dig in 👇
2/ First, the obvious one:

61% (!) of #Bitcoin supply that hasn't moved in over a year – that's an all-time high.

Moreover, 44% hasn't moved in 2+ years (approaching ATH), and almost 30% hasn't moved in 3+ years.

Loads of hodling here.

3/ The average Coin Days Destroyed (= transacted #bitcoin volume times number of days since coins were last moved) per year has been decreasing and is at its lowest level since 2016.

Lower CDD = more long-term hodlers.

1/ #Bitcoin fundamentals are stronger than ever.

As the halving approaches, let's zoom out and look at how on-chain fundamentals have developed historically, and how they compare to the last halving.

TL;DR – Network fundamentals are compelling; long-term bullish $BTC

THREAD 👇
2/ NETWORK GROWTH

The number of #Bitcoin addresses is steadily increasing and currently at ATH. It recently crossed the milestone of 30 million addresses.

That's an increase of +234% since the last halving four years ago.
3/ GROWTH RATE

Not only is the network increasing, but so is the pace it which it grows.

The current growth rate (daily number of addresses added to the #Bitcoin network) is over 68% higher than compared to last halving four years ago.
