Episode notes
Post-Halving Volatility Decline
- Bitcoin's volatility has decreased after the halving and it behaves more like a stable asset in this cycle.
- A massive liquidation flush showed resilience as Bitcoin only dropped around $20K while altcoins crashed harder.
Many Forces Keep Price Muted
- Multiple simultaneous factors can suppress Bitcoin price, not a single cause.
- Possibilities include exchange selling, paper Bitcoin, whale rotations, ETF flows, and profit-taking.
Supply Limits Force A Move
- There's a practical limit to how much a single buyer can accumulate from circulating supply.
- Samson Mow argues concentrated buying can't absorb the whole market, so price must eventually move higher.
