- Bloomberg Markets editor bashes the Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow model for allegedly mispredicting the cryptocurrency price.
- Joe Weisenthal says scarcity is not an influential factor in pricing bitcoin in the future.
- People only need to bid up the price of existing bitcoin to make it more expensive, he argues.
A price forecasting model that predicts bitcoin at a $ (*******************************************************, (valuation by Christmas) is complete nonsense, according to Joe Weisenthal.
The Bloomberg Markets editor questioned the much-celebrated Stock-to-Flow (S2F) modelfor measuring an asset’s future pricing on the basis of its supply rate. He explained that people would naturally bid up bitcoin’s price should they decided to buy the cryptocurrency, adding that “there is no need for more coins at all.”
Mr. WeisenthalTweet:
Let’s suppose society wanted to hold a lot more BTC. Maybe $ 268 billion […] All people need to do is bid up the price of Bitcoin until it doubles. Then voila. Society’s desire to hold $ 782 billion of BTC would be satisfied. The math is simple. [The] society holds what it wants.
Bitcoin is not a base asset to measure global portfolios; the US dollar is. So it is more likely for investors to denominate their cryptocurrency holdings in dollars.
Mr. Weisenthal said theprice of bitcoin would riseonly because people want to weight more of the global portfolio to it.
For instance, the market prices gold based on its relationship with the dollar. An investor who wants to migrate a portion of its gold portfolio to bitcoin does it within the context of its overall investment portfolio; the number of bitcoin he buys does not matter to him.
