Pretty much this. New money stopped flowing into Bitcoin in December after a pick up in flows from October, which was the first time since FTX. A lot of those outflows though are GBTC, as finally the locked up bitcoin could be sold, as well as probably miners cashing out at a great price - given next halving is on the way and they’ll need new hardware. I dont necessarily want an ETF. However it does help to sort of decentralise things a little if there are many products - the best thing for bitcoin would be currency status and that’s what people should really be fighting for.

Unfortunately bitcoin will lose… unless it’s Devs and the people who use it make sure that over time it isn’t corrupted. Everything can - as ultimately it is controlled by humans who are inherently greedy.

Nah not true.. if you don’t want to advocate other cryptos then a good strategy would be to hold cash or MM instruments at this point in time, to help lower the volatility of your portfolio over time. NFA.

Managing ones stack is akin to managing ones money. money management also needs to make sense in the realm of btc. If you don't do it with fiat, then the skills are transferrable - thats the beauty of BTC, it's a gateway to improving all assets of ones life by adopting sound principals.

There are five facts that summarize the current state of crypto investing. First, for years, crypto was not viewed as a serious investment or asset class. Indeed, Satoshi Nakamoto’s seminal 2008 paper did not refer to ‘digital gold’; bitcoin is cast as a transactional mechanism. In recent times, the space has blossomed into a very diverse set of assets and has started to move away from niche towards mainstream.
Second, crypto volatility is very high. That said, it is relatively straightforward to achieve a lower volatility by mixing with cash, and we demonstrate that a risk-managed portfolio that mixes crypto with cash to achieve equity-like volatility has fewer left-tail events than equities over the limited sample. We also find that volatility persists in crypto assets as it does in other assets, and we demonstrate that trend-following strategies mostly outperform buy-and-hold strategies, judged by Sharpe ratios.
Third, while the correlation with other traditional risky assets such as equities is low in normal times, the correlation rises to quite high levels in the left tail of these traditional risky assets.
Fourth, there are practical considerations for institutional investors such as custody that need to be considered. Finally, given this is a new space, there are many unknowns such as the decisions that regulators will make over the next few years.

Quick update before I go to work
BTC is holding up well, the FED has injected some liquidity into the market and everything has caught a bid.
My thoughts are BTC does a big fuck you move up into 28.5k, but as you can see that's programmed.. Be really careful. Ofcourse could extend a little further, but don't think new bull run is on the cards.. Market when you start to study you realise it likes to tempted you.
Rates will still be raised, they will be higher for longer.. things are still gonna blow out.. it's inevitable... BTC will catch a beating - but that's when go hard on the Satage.

Now are you can see we are consolidating above January's range... see what happens in Asia. I use both charts, But primarily use the macro range, for places to watch for a reaction. Worst thing is smash buying because of hype right at resistance, only to say damn wish I bought cheaper sats.

2023-03-14 00:53:37

How's it going... so today we did end up consolidating above yesterdays first trouble area.... the markets were pretty mental today and BTC hit one on our macro ranges (thicker lines) and retraced.
If CPI comes in as expected or not as hot, then I think we run stops at 25k, and probably push up above 26 before the end of the week. Stay Vigilant - could push up to 28k really quickly, just note.. everything has been filled between 19.6 and where we are now which means there won't be anything but air on the way down.
Pull backs are not of the cards, don't fomo in.. FED still has runway to crash the economy and they will. This stuff with the banks will tighten lending, which is deflationary, meaning it will be harder to get money from a bank, this will impede growth... which is what the FED needs to bring down inflation.

On coinable and Kraken we've hit this area.. Identified range, it came back and retested bottom of the range then pushed up to the top where it consolidated. Easy long to 21.6. If Flows now push into btc, as much of this is short squeeze and an unwinding of late shorts Friday, then It could easily push back up.. but not counting on that.
Not financial advice.. don't play with your corn.. but do have an idea if you are going to make buys, then try and be tactical with those decisions... trading fiat for btc, is still just trading your time... and you shouldn't do it willy nilly.

Like I am dead serious - those lovely ladies of ESG (seems to be more women in ESG) are dead easy to orange pill. On a level right - Narratives matter, so far the narrative is that btc is anti ESG to the uninformed. If we seriously took the ESG frame work and applied it to btc and we did a cost benefit analysis - it would trump most government funded programmes.
It be very interesting to see if Dennis Porter has any luck in convincing the state he was lobbying, to give him access to the abandoned sink wells to capture the leaking methane, or take a look at Strong hold mining, and how they are helping to tackle a massive environmental issue in Pitsburg's with their eye watering amounts of waste coal heaps... A solution perhaps for all of the coal waste in Wales perhaps which suffers from similar problems.
BTC's have to take narratives more seriously. The inflation hedge one is dead.. as humans we love telling stories, framing things into Stories.. what's Bitcoins currently?
