Episode notes
Bitcoin Price Driven by Flow
- Bitcoin's price is driven by "flow," meaning the money coming into the asset class.
- ETFs build new efficient pipes for huge capital pools to flow into Bitcoin, increasing liquidity and adoption.
MVRV Metric Still Reliable
- On-chain metrics like MVRV still provide high signal about Bitcoin's valuation despite increased financialization.
- Movements into ETFs reflect on-chain activity essential to measure net capital inflows.
Options Dampening Bitcoin Volatility
- Selling call options introduces a sell force that can cap upside price surges and dampen volatility.
- Financialization might prevent extreme bull runs and therefore shorten corrections.
