In 2017, a couple of friends asked me how to get into crypto. I told them "not crypto, Bitcoin!" They said it was too expensive, and bought Ripple and Lumen instead. They pumped, my friends ended up with 10x their initial investment. I told them "sell them NOW and buy Bitcoin!" They didn't listen to me. Yesterday, I was chatting with one of them, and casually mentioned that Bitcoin is pumping and we'll soon reach ATH and beyond. He was not so happy. He changed the subject...

I always find "but I don't have enough money to invest in bitcoin, they're over $xxxx each" to be the most common response when I tell folk to avoid shitcoins. At which point, I consider them to be beyond help and change the conversation to something else.

TLDR: Citibank now reads WO and is filling their bags. Here you have the full report. Bitcoin: 21st Century GoldBy Tom FitzPatrick - The whole existence of Bitcoin has been characterised by unthinkable rallies followed by painful corrections (The type
of pattern that sustains a long term trend.)
- The first major rally on this chart as Bitcoin came into the mainstream was the exponential move from 2010 into the 2011 high
followed by a deep correction. This is interesting for 3 reasons
- That surge, as it came into the mainstream, was very reminiscent of what happened with Gold as it was allowed to
float in the early 1970’s after 50 years of trading in a $20-$35 range. - That period with regard to the Gold price was a structural change in the modern day monetary regime as it broke
the orthodox relationship between FIAT currencies and Gold ushering in a World of fiscal indiscipline, deficits and inflation. - The Bitcoin move happened in the aftermath of the Great Financial crisis which saw a new change in the monetary
regime as we went to ZERO per cent interest rates (negative in some countries) and massive QE.
- Are we on the cusp of another such structural development? A number of things come to mind in that respect
- With the onset of a new crisis (Covid) Fiscal Orthodoxy has gone out the window (and likely rightly so for now). The
unprecedented societal crisis that we are seeing today leaves little if any room around the World for Fiscal austerity. - The Fed (The Central Bank of the World) has given 2 pieces of very clear guidance in recent years about how
monetary policy is being reshaped, in possibly the most dramatic fashion since the floating of Gold in the 1970’s, even more so than the introduction of QE in the last cycle. - The first guidance was before the Pandemic hit and was an assessment of the actions taken during the Financial
crisis. If I remember the phrase correctly it was something like “better a dime today than a Dollar tomorrow”. In essence the conclusion was that it was better if a crisis developed to hit it hard and early rather than piecemeal over time- the “big bazooka” effectively. True to their word that is exactly what they did as the Pandemic roiled financial markets in Feb-March this year. - The second and (in my view) more “monumental” guidance was the indication that as the economy/inflation
and employment pick up they will not look to constrain monetary policy in the same fashion they have in the whole post Volcker era. This change in monetary policy and simultaneous opening up in fiscal policy is (despite protestations to the contrary) MMT in all but name and a clear intention of debasing FIAT currency.
- Historically this has been good for Gold and likely will again. However, Gold has some restrictions that also need to be noted.
Physical Gold needs to be stored, is not readily portable across borders, has paper equivalents on exchanges that may or may not fully reflect the actual move in Gold and could possibly be called “yesterday’s news” in terms of a financial hedge.
- Bitcoin is the new Gold- It is an asset with limited supply. It is digital (This is the 21st century- Gold is a 20th century asset).
It moves across borders easily and ownership is opaque. That last point is, I believe, very relevant. The huge Fiscal deterioration of today has a cost in the future, either directly or indirectly. Directly it is that at some point the “bills have to be paid” which means at some time in the future the money needs to be found. While Bitcoin may become subject to more regulatory constraints going forward it is a natural store of “money” to avoid this. Indirectly the argument can be the debasement of FIAT currencies by creating high nominal growth and inflation (effectively a soft default- I do not believe hard default, particularly in the World’s reserve currency is a real concern. However in lesser currencies it could well be)
- Central Banks are increasingly discussing digitisation of currencies: This is a double edged sword. On one side it creates a
much more effective mechanism for distributing stimulus (particularly fiscal) but on the other side it also makes capital confiscation easier (eg negative interest rates). Both these scenarios would look to me to be positive Bitcoin and in the 21st Century give us the digital equivalent (Bitcoin versus FIAT digital) of what we saw in the 20th century when the financial regime changed (Gold versus FIAT paper)
- So let us go back to the chart. After the high was posted in 2011 we saw Bitcoin retrace 93% over 5 months (not for the faint
hearted). That was followed by a 9 year period that has been much more symmetric as Bitcoin as an asset became more visible and increasingly more mainstream
- It rallied for 2 years from 2011-2013 (multiplying by an incredible 555 times)
- It fell from Dec 2013 to Jan 2015 (13 months) by 86%
- It rallied from Jan 2015 to Dec 2017 (2 years and 11 months) multiplying by 121 times
- It fell from December 2017 to Dec 2018 (12 months) by 84%
- It rallied from December 2018 to? by ? %
- If you look at the chart below and the price action to date you could argue 2 things
- Timeframes for the rally are getting longer (10 months, 2 years, 3 years and next 4 years? So end of 2022.) Of course in
doing that you likely argue even higher levels as a consequence.
- You look at price action being much more symmetrical over the past 7 years or so (while still huge numbers) forming
what looks like a very well defined channel giving us an up move of similar timeframe to the last rally. Such an argument would suggest that this move could potentially peak in December 2021, at the high of the channel, suggesting a move as high as $318k. Improbable though that seems it would only be a low to high rally of 102 times (the weakest rally so far in percentage terms) at a point where the arguments in favour of Bitcoin could well be at their most persuasive ever.
- Time will tell if we end up seeing such lofty levels but the backdrop and the price action we are looking at clearly
suggest the potential for a major move higher nonetheless in the next 12-24 months.
I don't know about the prediction, but I like the reasoning about bitcoin put down by the guy. It is almost the reason why I am long bitcoin.
