How can $MSTR possibly trade at 2.7x their BTC treasury?

I suspect we are seeing the start of $5-10b of inflows in anticipation of a SP500 listing right now.

If true, then it's still warming up. Consider 20-30% of the SP500's $50T marketcap comes from passive index tracking funds and ETFs.

Inclusion into the SP500 means MSTR gets a chunk of that money.

Inflow estimates:
$10-15b from passive index tracker funds
$5-10b additional from speculative inflows Image

HOW TO STAY POOR

If you save in cash under the mattress, the government #debasement would have stolen half of its value in 10 short years. Image HOW TO NOT STAY POOR

#Gold is "how not to be shafted" technology.

People for 6000 years have held it in order to not get butt reamed by their governments. Image

I've been on RnR for a while, but...

Here's the chart I like best to set the scene.

Less inventory = bullish

Until the start of Aug, we've been in a bearish stance with an influx of 100k coins (Germany, MtGox, DOJ) while speculation has been rife creating more paper BTC. Image The price crash during the start of Aug flushed out much of the paper with a nice round of liquidations... open interest got wiped.

That's a healthy reset of open value (paper bets). It's really hard for BTC to climb when there's overheated speculation in the market. Image

Here's the 5 macro signals I'm looking closely at right now for #Bitcoin.

3 bullish, 2 bearish... Miners capitulation is over, it's one of the most reliable bullish indicators.

Hash rate is recovering, the price and hash rate bottom coincided with upgrades to next gen hardware hitting the network.

M66s went live last week.

S21 Pros this week.

Hash rate set to scream. Image

Market overview of the current state of #Bitcoin demand and supply.

- miners ⛏️
- German govt 🤡
- ETFs 🏦
- Futures 🎲🎰

Punctuated in emojis for ELI5ers.

🧵 Miner capitulation.

Are we there yet? Nope.

Until hash rate climbs, as seen in a ribbon recovery, the local environment is bearish. Miners are selling off, happens every time after the halving.

Almost always a good buy entry happens when the ribbon recovers.

I don't usually do short time frame price action as it's the domain of gamblers. But worth a break down of what's happening given the fear in the market...

We've been flushing out the leverage, 62.5k was the target to get most of it.

Until... ...speculators kept adding to new long positions, just adding more fuel for more liquidations in a cascading long squeeze.

Bridging us down to the 58k cluster, which just got taken out. Image

ETFs are buying...

Institutions are buying...

Who the hell is selling?

2024 brought a mass of commentators looking at ETFs flows, as if that's all that matters.

What matters is total demand and supply.

Here's a 101 thread on how the modern #Bitcoin market works. First, let me tell you who is selling.

The OGs. They are selling

They have more BTC than all the ETFs put together... 10x more.

And they sell into every bull market.

This pattern is as old as the genesis block.

Want to know which indicator called the last 2 large corrections within hours?

It's the moon. I shit you not... that sell signal is a particular phase of the moon.

🌘 Image The correlation to the moon has been well studied, here's a 2005 study looking at price impact on stock markets.

If you run the correlation, the moon cycle strengthened its impact after the Global Financial Crisis of 2008.

That event may have lead to the birth of meme stocks. Image

Money has always been a balance sheet of who owes whom.

This accounting needs to be agreed upon. And there’s only 3 known ways:

1) with social consensus

2) with matter

3) with energy 1) social consensus

Examples include fiat and proof of stake.

The ones in power (the wealthy) aim to control opinion to keep faith in the accounting system.

CVDD Floor (circa 2019) successfully defended for 2 months straight, the first proper test apart from COVID where the crash got close.

Hope this is not famous last words :).

Spot momentum has been strong throughout this move, there was also solid accumulation for months at 16k. Cost basis comparison suggests the bottom has formed. The peak discount that short term purchases got over long term purchases has crested.

It's only at the deep parts of a bear market do short term coins get cheaper than long term coins.

BTC on exchanges since 1st Apr 2022, just before the deleveraging dominos started falling.

Y-axis is % difference and line weight is proportional to BTC held presently.

Winners: OKX & Bitfinex
Neutral: Binance
Losers: Everyone else Bitfinex is the sleeper here.

The parent entity, iFinex, is making huge profits with its Tether capital sitting in US treasuries. Tether earns $3b per year right now. iFinex also has 94,000 BTC returning from the Bitfinex hack funds seizure ($1.5b).

DeFi apps can never be truly decentralised.

Been pondering this deeply.

Anything that works will need trusted centralised parties.

If true, dapps and L1s are just a wild goose chase over an intractable problem.

Please prove me wrong. Best way to prove me wrong is to name a dapp that provides a benefit that people want that cannot be done by better by existing Web2 and Bitcoin technology.

Example arguments:
- why a DEX will be better than a CEX
- seamless fintech inter-op across the web using MetaMask

An image capture of 10,000+ coins. This is the entire ecosystem, plotted against BTC as the base currency.

It's organically beautiful.

Over coming days I'll add to this thread adding insights as I discover.

Like it to subscribe. Comment if u want me to investigate things.

🧵 First some orientation.

The last image looked like a smudge.

Zoom in. You'll see its 10,000+ lines. Each is a price chart of a coin in BTC value (e.g. DOGE/BTC).

Then I tie the present day value together to the same point so we can compare.

All price data is from @coingecko.

Here's the 3rd in my series of macro bottom charts...

MVRV ratio is deep inside the value zone.

Under this signal we were in already bottoming (1) until the latest FTX white swan debacle brought us back into a buy zone (2). MVRV was created by @dpuellARK and @MustStopMurad. It tracks the ratio between Bitcoin's marketcap vs the capital invested into the network.

Note in this version I have normalised the signal with a 4-year z-score to make each BTC cycle more comparable.

"Silence from the media"

MSM is broken.

Without the 4th estate, the press, democracy breaks down. How did we get here? It was the breakdown of The Fairness Doctrine. It stated important issues needed to presented in a contrasting way to the public. Both sides of important issues needed to be told.

FCC abolished this during the Reagan administration.

A dummies guide to selling 42 million BTC...

🧵 You think I'm kidding.

"There can only ever be 21m coins"

Yes, you're right, I see you've read the whitepaper.

BTC punched through a capitulation structure.

i.e. investors who bought higher sold out in droves while urgent buyers were there to rally the price against the selling.

The next step in a proper bottom signature happens when the contours get dense under the price. Zoomed in view.

Here's a summary of price models for generational BTC bottoms:

200 week MA - done $22k
Cost basis analysis - not yet
CVDD - plenty of downside room First up... Everyone's looking at the 200 week moving average. It's $22k.

It's worked well in the past. Even during the early years, it has caught every generational bottom.

Bear in mind this entire phase of BTC price action was during a prolonged macro bull market post 2008.

"In search of a bottom"

(Don't read this, it's too long)

Here's a visual of the cost basis of the entire BTC supply. Areas of high density represent significant coins moving into investor wallets at that price ("buy price"). Bottoms are formed by...

1) CAPITULATION: A huge number of coins are sold at a loss to new investors bringing down the cost basis (seen as a strong downward flow in the visual).

2) ACCUMULATION: Price moves above a strengthening area of high density

This is 2018/19 bottom.

By the numbers, @Greenpeace stands to lose up to $35.7m per year, which is 10% of its annual revenue, due to its stance against #Bitcoin. (1)

62.3% of Bitcoin investors that also support Greenpeace will be ending their Greenpeace subscriptions.

This poll is skewed towards passionate BTC followers (my audience)
