Folks, one pro tip I recommend for everyone, is to ignore all commentary related to exchange balances that isn't coming from a serious professional analyst (even then, question it...). Few data providers do a good job tracking the wallets, few analysts understand the data, and what is available is almost exclusively noise and click bait. The nuances are beyond ridiculous, and the problem is endlessly dynamic. inflows, outflows, balances and supply squeezes. It has no relevance to price or the market, and should be ignored in the vast majority of circumstances. Don't whale watch kids.

Since everyone is jumping over to Nostr, I wanted to share my latest analysis video from behind the paywalled with you all. Enjoy!

My latest piece is out for checkonchain subscribers. this one looks at the tremendous sellside that the Bitcoin market has absorbed over the last 6 months. I also compare the conditions to 2019, which is the most similar period by far.

It's 2019...Again

The similarities between the 2019 BTC peak, and today are striking, although the differences are even more fascinating.

The #Bitcoin ETFs saw around four weeks of outflows in April, worth around -$1.1B on net. It took only 13-days for that to more than reverse, with over $1.6B worth of inflows, and eight +$100M inflow days in a row. Feels like a second demand wave may be upon us.

In a few hours, we will be releasing a brand new Bitcoin analysis framework, which we call Cointime Economics. Within, we relate the concept of 'time' to the dimension of 'supply', and establish a suite of greatly improved economic models for Bitcoin. This framework explains a great many concepts such as how many coins are likely lost, what is the real cost basis of the market, and how much does the halving actually matter. Cointime Economics is a product of over 18months work alongside David Puell, and builds on the pioneering work of the late Tamas Blummer. I couldn't be more excited for it to go live. It is by far the most abstract concept I have ever worked through, and I truly hope it inspires analysts and readers with new ideas about Bitcoin. This meme is the TL:DR, and was literally the first thing I put to paper as it migrated from napkin to paper. I hope you enjoy, and cannot wait to hear/ feedback. I will post links to the report as soon as we release.
