Episode notes
Bitcoin vs Gold Superiority
- Bitcoin is superior to gold as a store of value due to its portability, divisibility, and immutability on a decentralized blockchain.
- Unlike gold, Bitcoin's supply is fixed and easily verifiable, making it a better hedge against inflation.
Bitcoin Follows Liquidity Cycles
- Bitcoin's price tends to follow global liquidity cycles with about a three-month lag.
- Liquidity, driven by debt and money supply expansion, is a key factor influencing risk assets including Bitcoin.
Slow Institutional Adoption
- Institutional adoption of Bitcoin grows slowly due to custody and fiduciary risk challenges.
- ETFs have lowered barriers for smaller institutions, but large institutional investments are still nascent.
