Episode Date: April 9, 2022

In today's episode, I break down Bitcoin On-Chain Analytics. I'm usually joined by WiIl Clemente on Saturdays to discuss his research through articulating his weekly newsletter. Unfortunately, Will wa...s unable to join us this week. Instead, I review the Bitcoin charts from the past week to see how the market is looking. In this update I discuss the Bitcoin Conference, It's correlation with The Nasdaq, and how retail buyers continue to buy up all of the Bitcoin supply. To see the video with the corresponding charts referenced throughout the interview, go to my Anthony Pompliano YouTube Channel ======================= Today’s episode is brought to you by Coinbase Wallet, your key to the world of crypto.

All right, let's get in this episode. I hope you guys enjoyed this one. Anthony Pompliano runs Pomp Investments. All views of him and the guests on his podcast are solely their opinions and do not reflect the opinions of Pomp Investments. You should
Starting point is 00:03:19 not treat any opinion expressed by Pomp or his guests as a specific inducement to make a particular investment or follow a particular strategy, but only as an expression of his 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%,
Starting point is 00:03:55 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
Starting point is 00:04:34 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
Starting point is 00:05:22 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
Starting point is 00:06:07 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
Starting point is 00:06:52 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 this one.
