personal opinion. This podcast is for informational purposes only. This week, the Bitcoin conference
has taken over Miami, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't look at exactly what's happening with
Bitcoin itself. First, if we start, we can see that Bitcoin is trading just over $43,000. It's
continued to hit that $40,000 to $45,000 range over the last couple of weeks.
If we then look at the Bitcoin network itself,
what we can see is that the inflation rate still sits at 1.77%,
we're just over an $800 billion market cap.
The real exchange volume sits at just under $4 billion.
The miners have been paid about $40 million over the last 24 hours
to continue to secure the Bitcoin network.
On top of that, Bitcoin is down 37% from the all-time high.
but it's up 30 percent from the local cycle low. If we then go ahead and we take a look at the
price, it has traded only 260 days ever above the current price point. That means that for 94 percent
of Bitcoin's life, Bitcoin has been trading at a lower value than today. And so if you purchase
Bitcoin and held it to today, you are a happy camper. Then if we go and we look at the compound
annual growth rate, what we can see is that Bitcoin's compound annual growth rate over the
last 10 years is 148% that destroys gold, the S&P 500, NASDAQ, or TLT. Also, the five-year
Sharpe ratio is superior to any of the other assets. Then let's go take a look at Dylan
Leclerc. He's got a great tweet here where he explains that Bitcoin is just correlated with
QQQ. Over the last 30 days, the two assets traded with a rolling correlation of 0.9. That means that
many people in the Bitcoin market treating Bitcoin as a risk asset. As they have traded those tech
stocks, they also are trading Bitcoin. The more that those two things trade together, the more
that the Fed's policies are going to matter. Over a long period of time, Bitcoin is a non-correlated
asset. But in short stints like this, they tend to get highly correlated. Then if we go and we
take a look we have the strong hands accumulating bitcoin at a feverish pace you can see here using
the 30-day illiquid supply change the far right it's just going parabolic more and more people
going ahead and buying bitcoin and then not selling it over a 30-day period then let's go
take a look at who the hell actually owns bitcoin first we can go and we can check out willy woo
where he says it's a false narrative that bitcoin is hoarded by a few that's propaganda from the
media. There's roughly the same number of Bitcoin whales as billionaires in the world. Whale holdings
continue to distribute evenly, even on track for 12% of supply by 2030. And retail investors are
gaining fast. Then he shows us this great chart, which is the Bitcoin supply distribution by
participants. And what you can see is that there is massive growth in retail ownership and the
whales continue to sell their Bitcoin to that retail audience. Then we can go and we can take
a look at will clemente we can see that will also pointing out retail is currently buying at the
second highest rate in bitcoin's history looking at retail's holdings most spikes have coincided
with macro tops but on several occasions they have bought strategically this spike is the outlier
and that's exactly what you need to be paying attention to right now the bitcoin conference
has announcement after announcement after announcement the momentum is real and we can
look at these on-chain metrics and we can see what their impact is on the Bitcoin price. Bitcoin
continues to hold strong in the face of a dire financial situation for billions of people globally
and as there's high inflation and also undisciplined monetary and fiscal policy. Bitcoin has gone up
hundreds of percent over the last two years and it continues to look strong based on these
fundamentals. I'm excited to see what happens the rest of this year and we will talk more about
Bitcoin next week. Thanks so much for listening to today's episode. I really hope you guys enjoyed
