1/ INSIDE THE EVENT HORIZON with @MimesisCapital

THREAD #6

mimesiscapital.medium.com/unprecedented-…
2/ Since March of 2020, the number of Bitcoins held on exchanges has decreased at an unprecedented pace.
3/ Directly before the 2017 bull run, we saw a much smaller, but similar phenomenon. In August of 2016, we witnessed total exchange balances peak at 1.06M BTC. At the beginning of 2017, 0.94M BTC remained on exchanges, meaning 120,000 BTC were removed (-11% decline).
4/ This bull run appears to be telling a more extreme story. In March of 2020, there were a total of 2.97M BTC held on exchanges. Today there are 2.33M BTC held on exchanges, meaning 640,000 BTC were removed (-22% decline).
5/ Looking at Net Transfer Volume from/to Exchanges, we can better visualize the amount of Bitcoins getting removed from exchanges in comparison to 2016/2017.

The speed at which Bitcoins are being removed is unprecedented. We are on the verge of Bitcoin's first mega bull run.
6/ We can specifically look at the Coinbase Bitcoin Balance. Since the beginning of December, a net 75,000 BTC have been withdrawn from Coinbase. This is Bitcoin leaving the world’s largest exchange (BTC Balance wise) at an incredibly fast rate.
7/ We are approaching a period in Bitcoin’s history where a large majority of big Bitcoin holders have very little incentive to trade their Bitcoin for dollars, ever.

Most Bitcoin are locked away in cold storage with almost no intention of being sold in any meaningful amount.
8/ The few Bitcoin still on exchanges and being held by weak hands are currently being scooped up at any price.

We are possibly witnessing the first inning of a Bitcoin super cycle where Bitcoin’s price (denominated in fiat currencies) may begin to reach unimaginable levels.

1/ We've all seen the massive amount of BTC being drained from exchange balances, but I've been somewhat skeptical that $GBTC could be sucking up exchange balances (not HODLers adding BTC into cold storage).

Here's a short thread of my research on this topic. Image
2/ The total Exchange Balance peaked roughly February 14th (around the same time the price peaked).

Price $10,300
Exchange Balance 2.95M BTC
GBTC AUM $2.97B
GBTC Holdings 288,000 BTC
3/ Today, December 11th, the data is...

Price $18,000
Exchange Balance 2.3M BTC
GBTC AUM $10B
GBTC Holdings 553,000 BTC

I think one of the best ways to store #Bitcoin is @COLDCARDwallet.

Here is a strategy for max security.

1. Use it air gapped.
2. Download and verify latest firmware (use firmware from a few months ago if you don't review the updates yourself).
3. Generate seed using dice rolls.
4. Store seed on @blockplate.
5. Export your "watch only" wallet to microusb.
6. Import your "watch only" into software wallets (I like @ElectrumWallet and @bluewalletio).
7. Make sure the receiving addresses match the receiving addresses visibly on your Coldcard.
8. Send a small amount of Bitcoin ($5) and view the confirmed transactions on your software wallet.
9. Wipe your Coldcard device's seed.
10. Use the same device or a completely different air gapped Coldcard to recover your seed.

1/ Introducing my new series: INSIDE THE EVENT HORIZON with @MimesisCapital

THREAD #1

Why is One Bitcoin Worth $18,000?
2/ $330,000,000,000 (330 BILLION DOLLARS)

That’s the total current value stored on the Bitcoin network, and it is likely undervalued by 200x-1000x (or more).
3/ In 2009, not a single Bitcoin existed. Today, over 18 Million of them exist and each one is worth $18,000 (18.5 million x 18,000 = 330 Billion Dollars of Value).

How is this possible?

1/ “BUT THEY WILL BAN BITCOIN.”

Let me quickly explain why this threat is HIGHLY overestimated and why it is NOT possible or even reasonable.

$1,000,000+ #Bitcoin is nearly inevitable.
2/ First, if someone is presenting this argument, they've conceded that Bitcoin is the world's most valuable monetary good ever discovered.

They understand that Bitcoin will become so incredibly valuable that it may threaten government itself.
3/ Many reference that private gold ownership was banned in the US in 1933.

BUT, people forget that the reason private gold ownership was banned is because the USD was redeemable for a fixed amount of gold. They needed to break the peg to expand credit (to stimulate).

As we enter #Bitcoin's next parabolic bull run from $3,000 to $1,000,000 and beyond, I'm compiling a thread (below) of all major Twitter threads written to help YOU understand what is happening.
Bitcoin is NOT a bubble. It's the world's best form of money.
