1/ We've reached a critical inflection point in bitcoin's adoption curve.
A moment wholly unique in the history of markets.

I think something shifted in the market -- and active investors & traders would do well to adjust their mindset.
If they want this asset: they'll have to hustle, compete with the masses and FOMO in above ATH's.
Against a backdrop of scarcity unlike anything they've ever seen.
Their bots will not stop buying.
There isn't enough supply for all of them, and they know it.
How much appetite will strong hands have to market sell, just to run stops?
In the opening hours of the greatest bull market of their lives.
In a liquidity crisis.
This is why I think #Bitcoin goes to $35k-$40k, before a shakeout much worse than anything we've seen so far.
I’m not saying we teleport to $40k instantly.
Just small gains, pretty much every day, for many weeks.
But this scenario would not be unprecedented:
This same thing happened in 2017, when #BTC broke previous ATHs after multiple tries.
*Don't* throw risk mgmt out the window -- because we can't know for sure if I'm right.
Buy gradually -- on small pullbacks, at the weekly TWAP, BTC's time-weighted average price.

TWAP stands for Time Weighted Average Price. It is de rigeur among institutions when accumulating an asset whilst there's an absence of OTC block sellers with whom to directly match.

I will look to two metrics:
(and neither one is funding -- funding will be useless if this scenario plays out).
I consider this the alpha metric on-chain for finding local #BTC tops.
I want to see STH-MVRV print above a 1.5, then make lowers lows.
On Gemini exchange: this metric was never wrong in 2020.
Gemini whales are #Bitcoin 's secret bellweather.
