#Bitcoin is in a supply and liquidity crisis.

This is extremely bullish! And highly underrated.

I believe we will see this significantly reflected in Bitcoin's price in the upcoming months.

Let's take a look at the data.

A thread 👇👇👇

1/ Accumulation Balance

The amount of bitcoins held in accumulation addresses is 2.7M BTC.

Those are addresses that have only received bitcoins, and never spent funds.

True HODLers, hoarding 14.5 % of the circulating supply.

2/ Lost Coins

21 milltion bitcoins? You wish.

That's just the hard cap – considering lost coins, the real number is much less.

No one knows for sure how many, but estimations point to at least 3M.

That's 16% less circulating BTC available.

3/ Institutional #BTC Demand

@Grayscale (573M BTC), @MicroStrategy ($475M), @sqcrypto ($50M), Ruffer ($745M), @massmutual ($100M) – all buying up supply.

Do you really think they're alone? Of course not.

Expect many more on the move. They're coming – gradually, then suddenly.
4/ Speaking of @Grayscale:

Bitcoins added to the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust in the past 6 months: ~210,000 BTC

Bitcoins mined in the past 6 months: ~185.000 BTC

That's right, Grayscale has been buying up more bitcoins than the amount issued.

Talk about a supply crisis!

5/ Exchange Balances

Liquidity is vanishing from exchanges.

We're seeing the longest depletion of exchange funds.

Since January, the BTC supply on exchanges dropped a staggering 20%.

#BTC is being pulled to long-term storage, custodian wallets, etc.

6/ Liquid #Bitcoin Supply

14.4M BTC is held by illiquid entities – that is 78% (!) of the current supply.

Illiquid entities spend less than 25% of the BTC they receive, acting as supply sinks in the network.

Yes, only 12% of the BTC supply is liquid, according to this metric.
7/ #Bitcoin Miner Supply

Are miners cashing out at these prices? I don't think so.

The amount of miner unspent supply (BTC that has never left the miner address) has been increasing since the last halving.

Current miner balance: 1.7M $BTC

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
