While everyone seems to celebrate every single new BTC high, let me remind you of where we are going...

Nothing is a Law of Nature but the log-regression trend since inception makes sense to me contextually.

I think the risk is people UNDERSHOOT in their price targets. 1/
The Halving runs tend to get between 1 and 2 standard deviations overbought versus trend, and it occurs usually around 18 months.

This would give a rough price target between $400k and $1.2m by end of 2021 (not an exact science, but context).
It also ALWAYS climbs a wall of fear - in 2017 it was forks (they threw me off the trend back then). This time it feels like regulation and Tether/stable coins will create the wall of fear that the market climbs, throwing weak hands off.
At every point people will tell you its insanity, it's due a correction, it's over bought, bad news is about to come out. And they are right.

But the Bitcoin Super Massive Black Hole don't care.

It is going from here to somewhere up there and how it gets there is irrelevant.
But we can guess how long it takes to get there and that makes it HUGELY attractive as we have a decent probabilistic outcome from both price and time, its just path we don't know...

I still down own enough...but have no cash currently to buy more and don't want leverage.

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to say thank you for a hell of a year here on Twitter.

We've all hung out together, debated, bounced off new ideas, bickered, trolled, celebrated each others victories and encouraged each other and tried to add value to the community.
We've even had fun nights on Friday night booze Twitter (Asia/Oz/NZ Saturday hangover Twitter). We've both kept each other sane over 2020 and driven each other mad, like a family. We've also enjoyed making fun of each other too and not taking ourselves too seriously.
I've tried really hard to add value where I could because that is what creates a vibrant community, where everyone tries to add value in their own way.

I've nailed some really big macro themes and got the dollar totally wrong too, but overall its been a banner year.

We are at the stage where people I really respect - mean reversionists, value players and rationalists are urging caution in bitcoin.
However, I think reflexivity here is stronger than they can ever possibly imagine. There will be sharp sell offs on negative new and also on no news but people will hope for even better entry on sharp dips and miss it. 1/
And then bitcoin will climb the wall of fear and eventually transition to scale the cliff of incredulity.

This is the most reflexive set up I’ve ever seen in my life. Even wild eyed bulls will shake their heads in dismay.

I won’t be easy to hold on.

Final crypto comment for a bit:

Tokens are just real-time trading VC bets. If you owned early seed investments with real-time mark to market you'd see the exact same. 80% go to zero, 19% add value and 1% make all the money. Real time marks freak people out.
If you real time marked any VC investment you see it go to near zero numerous times (for Real Vision, probably 6 times). The value comes from adoption and eventually revenues as business models adapt.Most dont survive, its normal and is capitalism.
Thinking everything is a scam because its not BTC is simply ludicrous. It is like taking a snapshot of early VC bets and writing everything off as a zero because its not Google.

Apples and oranges.

The actual money is in the numbers game - Pareto's Law.

Thought: Let's say a start up, like $FB back in the day, raised funding on a dodgy idea, let's say they got traction and the idea didnt look so dodgy so they raised more cash via equity but lets say they agree to an limit on the equity issuance. Is that wrong? XRP (no view).
So, right or wrong?

It is not so clear to me, with my limited knowledge at a macro level....
I also understand Ripple issued equity but Im not sure how totally different this is if you replace the worlds "cryptocurrency" with shares.

All thoughts appreciated. As I said, I have zero view but am not sure of the controversy at a macro level. XRP is being used at least...

At the beginning of December I wrote about the economic impacts of potential covid restrictions over Christmas/New Year in Europe...
The UK is suffering the full brunt of this...

But Europe as a whole is going to move in this direction and New Years Eve parties are going to be off the agenda, along with seasonal vacations.

A few things to make you think...

If bitcoin is the digital pristine collateral, the size of global gov bond market is $123trn.

Pretty amazing opportunity for bitcoin.
The size of the global custody system is $23 trn

That will accrue to bitcoin and more likely maybe ETH.
The settlements layer is over $4 QUADRILLIAN per annum

Probably BTC and ETH and other blockchains, including private ones.
