- 0:03Are you starting to receive those texts?
- 0:05Am I late? Should I wait?
- 0:07Do you have a date? With all the craziness going on
- 0:09today, it's difficult to know when a good buying opportunity
- 0:12arises in Bitcoin. In this video, we're going to
- 0:14break down why not only are you not late, but now might be the
- 0:18best time to buy Bitcoin imotions.
- 0:20This is beyond Bitcoin. Stick around to the end of this
- 0:23video and let's let the ever growing enthusiasm about Bitcoin
- 0:28begin. Is he being sarcastic?
- 0:36Whether you're new to this class or a seasoned beef eating maxi,
- 0:39it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of the news cycle
- 0:42or be unable to determine what is noise and what is signal.
- 0:46When you get those text messages from friends, or if you're the
- 0:49one sending those text messages, these conversations imply a few
- 0:53questions. Am I too late?
- 0:55Should I wait until Bitcoin's price drops?
- 0:57These questions come from a place of uncertainty and a
- 1:00desire to time the market. Here's where this model of
- 1:03thinking falls short. In the case of Am I too late?
- 1:07There's a plethora of data that suggests that regardless of when
- 1:10you buy, if you hold long enough, Bitcoin's price will
- 1:13climb well beyond your initial buying position.
- 1:16Here's a great example from Glass Node that gives us insight
- 1:19into the behaviors of addresses over time.
- 1:22This chart shows us from bitcoins inception to its
- 1:24current valuation, the number of addresses holding Bitcoin for a
- 1:28certain period of time. As you can see, as the price
- 1:31climbs, that's the little black line that cuts through the
- 1:33rainbow. The darker, colder colors
- 1:35representing longer periods of holding Bitcoin are pushing down
- 1:38warmer colors which represent shorter periods of holding
- 1:42Bitcoin. Now I'm no analyst right at One
- 1:45step Ahead 1857, but what this chart is telling me is that
- 1:49almost 20% of the supply is being held in addresses that
- 1:53have been dormant for over 10 years.
- 1:56The more and more the price appreciates, the longer people
- 1:59are holding. And the inverse is true as well,
- 2:02as there is a gradual decline in the addresses holding Bitcoin
- 2:05for shorter periods of time. The longer you hold, the more
- 2:08you are rewarded, so it makes sense to get some now and hold
- 2:11it for as long as you can. How do you expect the asset to
- 2:15continue a price increase at these levels that we've seen?
- 2:20I mean, can it keep that up over the next five years, over the
- 2:23next 10 years? And at what point do we see, you
- 2:27know, winter coming again, because that's been a a
- 2:31permanent fixture of of this asset class, right?
- 2:36It's gone from 0 or 1000 to 20 and then back down to three or
- 2:41four and then up to 50 and then back down to 15 and now up to
- 2:45110. Like when does it drop again?
- 2:49Winners not coming back, we're past that.
- 2:52We're past that phase. If bitcoins not going to 0, it's
- 2:55going to $1,000,000 and you have all the evidence you need to
- 2:59determine that, right? The president of the United
- 3:01States has determined he supports Bitcoin.
- 3:04The cabinet supports Bitcoin. Scott Peasant supports Bitcoin.
- 3:08Paul Atkins has shown himself to be an enthusiastic believer of
- 3:12Bitcoin and digital assets. Ken Taz at CFTC feels the same.
- 3:17Ray, the the banks are going to custody Bitcoin.
- 3:22Bitcoin is has gotten through its riskiest period.
- 3:25The accounting has been corrected.
- 3:28There's now only 450 Bitcoin a day available for Sale by
- 3:31natural sellers. That's the miners.
- 3:34At this level, that works out to about $50 million of Bitcoin
- 3:37available for sale every day. If that $50 million is spot,
- 3:42then the price has got to move up to find any natural, any any
- 3:46seller that's price sensitive. Now, if you do the math, you'll
- 3:49actually see the Bitcoin treasury companies by themselves
- 3:53are buying the entire natural supply.
- 3:56BlackRock and the ETFs are buying another measure of that.
- 4:01And we've got nation state actors coming into the space.
- 4:05So I think when Bitcoin rallies, if it surges.
- 4:09To 500. 1000 or $1,000,000 then maybe?
- 4:12We could. Talk about it crashing down by a
- 4:14$200,000 a coin, but at the current price levels, it only
- 4:19takes $50,000,000 to turn the entire drive shaft of the crypto
- 4:23economy. One turn and you've got the
- 4:25Trump Media Organization announcing 2 1/2 billion.
- 4:29You've got GameStop announcing 500 million.
- 4:31You've got my company that's raising billions and billions of
- 4:35dollars. So the writing is on the wall.
- 4:38Bitcoins moving higher. The evidence to buy Bitcoin is
- 4:40backed up by another one of my favorite bullish charts.
- 4:43Bullish Charts. Before we go to that, I have a
- 4:46question to ask you. Are you prepared for what?
- 4:48These past few years have been crazy for natural disasters,
- 4:52solar flares and power grid failures.
- 4:55How exactly can I prepare for all that when your lines of
- 4:58communication are cut by traditionalmeanssat123.com Is
- 5:02there SAT 123.com offers a variety of satellite phones,
- 5:06Faraday bags and power solutions for those times of crisis so you
- 5:10can reach your loved ones or your local agencies in time of
- 5:14need. Put down that cup of coffee and
- 5:16go to sat123.com. Use promo code simply for 15%
- 5:20off of your purchase. Now that's pretty good.
- 5:23Disaster comes at you fast, but with sat123.com you'll be
- 5:27prepared. OK, we're back and I wanted to
- 5:30show you one of those go to charts when I'm failing,
- 5:32depressed or lonely, and that's the Bitcoin percent supply in
- 5:38profit chart, which basically tells you how much of the
- 5:40current supply is in profit. If you look at this red line
- 5:43here, we can see that more often than not, Bitcoin bought at any
- 5:47time frame is most likely in profit.
- 5:50In fact, according to this chart by Mesmer Data, we are currently
- 5:54at 97.5% of the supply of Bitcoin in profit.
- 5:58This means that out of all the Bitcoin that's in circulation,
- 6:0197% of it is in profit since its purchase.
- 6:06Over a long enough timeline, Bitcoins value in dollar terms
- 6:10continues to climb due to all its amazing value propositions,
- 6:13the 21 million cap, instant global settlement, protection
- 6:16from debasement, and the complete unearthing of status
- 6:19quo culture. More and more people are
- 6:22studying it, understanding its properties, dipping toes or
- 6:25diving in all together. And this chart is telling us
- 6:28that 97% of the time that Bitcoin has been around, you
- 6:31will be in profit at whatever price you buy if you hold long
- 6:34enough. I don't.
- 6:35Think Bitcoin is volatile. If you're an investor, if you're
- 6:39a hodler, if you're, if your time horizon is one year or if
- 6:43it's one year, you're a short term investor.
- 6:46You can find like two or three times in the last decade when it
- 6:50wasn't great, but it wasn't awful.
- 6:52If your time horizon is 4 years, you can't find a time when it
- 6:57wasn't working. So I think, I mean, I just a
- 7:01normal, ordinary, responsible investor with a four year time
- 7:05arise. We're looking to say this is
- 7:06very boring, right? It's exciting if you're a trader
- 7:10or a journalist and if you're on Twitter and if you want the news
- 7:13to change every day like people. And I feel like on Twitter we've
- 7:18got a hyper inflammatory hyper, like a high speed short time
- 7:23preference. Like I have to have an opinion
- 7:25every day or every week or every month.
- 7:28And that means everybody's always generating news.
- 7:32And they're like if I, if I take anybody on the world and if I
- 7:35take a micro, what a microscope and I zoom in and I'm a
- 7:41magnifying glass and I, I, I zoom in by a factor of 1000,
- 7:45I'll eventually find a blemish. Like if you, if you look at
- 7:48Bitcoin trading every week, you'll find a blemish.
- 7:52If you look at it every day, you'll find more.
- 7:54If you look at it every hour, you'll find more.
- 7:56If you look at it every minute, you'll find plenty.
- 7:59But if you zoom out to a decade or five years, then you'll have
- 8:04a different view. I, I, I really take issue with
- 8:08every, everybody that attempts to apply some statistical model.
- 8:11I, I'm not a trader. I, I, I, by the way, to be
- 8:15clear, trading is, is speculation and traders see the
- 8:20world in short term moves and they're always and, and maybe
- 8:25traders love volatility and traders love controversy.
- 8:30And you know, traders love this debate because it creates that
- 8:33volatility. But this is an engineering issue
- 8:38for me. This is the year is 1910.
- 8:41People are wiring their houses with electricity.
- 8:44And you're asking me at what point I'm going to turn my
- 8:47electricity off or, or you're telling me how eventually people
- 8:50are getting tired of electricity.
- 8:52And then you're telling me that wouldn't I really want to
- 8:54convert back to horse and buggy and manual labor to take some
- 8:58off the table? Because electricity is a scary
- 9:01speculative thing. And I'm like, no, it's running
- 9:04water, it's electricity, it's automobiles.
- 9:06It's not a fad. It's the future.
- 9:09It's, it's not a bubble. It's it's capital flow.
- 9:13When all the money is leaving the peso going to the dollar,
- 9:17that's not a bubble in the dollar.
- 9:19That's capital flight from a collapsing asset or collapsing
- 9:24currency that people have lost confidence in.
- 9:27Now I want to go back to that original text.
- 9:29Should I buy Bitcoin now or should I wait until it drops
- 9:32next week? This comes with the notion that
- 9:34you can time the market and that your Bitcoin bro or your crypto
- 9:37friend, you know, whoever you're texting with knows what's going
- 9:41to happen with the market. But we don't.
- 9:44We just don't know what lies ahead for this industry.
- 9:47We had no idea that the incoming administration would be so pro
- 9:50Bitcoin, just like we had no idea that FTX would blow up.
- 9:54Volatility is a feature of this asset class, not a bug, and it
- 9:58requires conviction and patience to keep your head in the game.
- 10:01Waiting a week as opposed to buying today is betting that
- 10:04Bitcoin has further to fall in the short term, allowing you to
- 10:08scoop up more sats when it does. But what if it doesn't fall next
- 10:11week? What if it takes a month or a
- 10:14year? Or worse, what if it never falls
- 10:17to the prices you were waiting forever again?
- 10:20Do you have the patience, resilience, and knowledge to
- 10:23time the market like that? Does the fluctuation of a few
- 10:26$1000 in price really determine whether you should buy or not?
- 10:29With this kind of mentality, you risk always being on the
- 10:32sidelines, always missing the opportunity because you're
- 10:35waiting for the right opportunity.
- 10:37That's why I always answer these texts in the same way.
- 10:40Study Bitcoin, understand its implications, and buy at any
- 10:44price that you possibly can when you can, and put it in cold
- 10:48storage. Remember, it's going up forever.
