Down 14% in the last month. Still way above its actual value (0) but headed in that direction.

I’m guessing cost of living is driving a lot of hodlers to liquidate. You have to imagine most of the money in this thing is institutional though so maybe it won’t matter that much.

Inflation is driving the cost of commodities up but BTC seems to move in the opposite direction. This is meaningful bc the value prop of BTC as an inflation hedge would suggest the opposite, and BTC overweight portfolios will underperform the diversified commodities basket. If this persists it’s only matter of time before we also see some institutional unwinding

I don’t follow that market super closely but it’s interesting nonetheless. It seems these big corrections happen from time to time as well so could just be more of the same. Still one wonders if we are starting to see some structural covariance.

    I think bitcoin is something that fools will always dump their money into hoping to sell to another fool for higher price. Even if it’s not different from Litecoin or whatever, it has the advantage of being the “first”.
