No one can really estimate the impact of the Bitcoin Spot ETFs in the Bitcoin price, because in the whole history of humanity,we have never had a situation similar to the current one.
In specific:

Blackrock owns 191.2k Bitcoin
After today, Blackrock will pass Microstrategy on Bitcoin owned.
Microstrategy took 3.5 years to reach it, Blackrock made it in less than 2 months.
O.32% of Blackrock investment fund would buy all Bitcoin in exchanges.
Fidelity has 34m customers. —> 0.006 BTC in exchanges per customer ($960).

The “Blackrock effect” in the Bitcoin is already started.
One of the effects can be seen in the Bitcoin mining world. In the same week we have noticed 4different articles in Forbes in favor of Bitcoin Mining.

Main take away of today: Bitcoin makrket Cap went up by more than $50 billion in minutes, and very likely the money flowing into Bitcoin were less than $500 million (ratio 100:1)
A former Blackrock Director said that we can expect $150-200 billion flowing into Bitcoin in 3

is holding $66k-$67k.
Even if it looks that nothing is happening, in reality a lot is happening behind the scenes: there is a lot of selling pressure at that level ($67k-$69k) and thanks to the ETF the price is not going down but is holding it.
Every hour at that
Conclusion of Fidelity Digital Asset report on Bitcoin
"Traditional investors typically apply a technology investing framework to bitcoin, leading to the conclusion that bitcoin, as a first-mover technology, will easily be supplanted by a superior one or have lower returns.
A sign of being a Bitcoiner is when you, while being already very heavily exposed in Bitcoin, once you have cash to invest, you keep putting it into Bitcoin because, also due to the current conditions, you would feel quite stupid in investing in anything else that is not

This is a big news not only for how big Morgan Stanley is ($1.4T AUM$) but because it has been a financial institutions always against Bitcoin.

The Market Cap of Bitcoin is at $823b, with Bitcoin price at $42k.
Important: An inflow of $10b doesn’t mean an increase of $10b in market cap.

Remember that from now till 01/10/2024 there are 112 days.
The 10th of Jan is the final deadline for SEC to decide on BTC spot ETF from Ark.
It is very likely that a decision will consider all requests at once, to avoid the SEC picking the winners or losers.
Therefore it will
During this Bitcoin cycle, differently from the 3 previous cycles. the amount of Bitcoin available to trade decreased over time.
If the trend continues, a supply shock is inevitable. It is only a matter of time, we just don’t know when.
Being Bitcoiners, we can wait, because if
“The American investment firm, BlackRock has added Bitcoin to its $15 trillion Global Allocation Fund.
With this move, BlackRock can scoop up all BTC on exchanges with just 0.32% of the assets it has under management.”

BTC fair value is between $1m and $10m.
1) Selling BTC before it reaches its fair value is for those who didn’t understand it
2) Investing in anything else before Btc reaches its fair value is for those who didn’t understand it

My best advice to people interested in

Consider understanding Bitcoin the intellectual equivalent of running a marathon under 3 hours.
Everyone understands that you need to train your body xx hours to stand a chance to run a marathon under 3 hours. If you are not
When you ask a Bitcoiners how long did it take for him to understand Bitcoin, the answer is “X years”
When you ask a Bitcoiners how many hours of study did it take for him to understand Bitcoin, the answer is “X hundreds of hours”

The approval of the Bitcoin Spot ETFs triggered the end of the first Era of Bitcoin and the beginning of the Second Era of Bitcoin.
In this second Era, nothing is anymore the same as in the first Era. All the precedent models (4 years cycle, timing of breaking previous ATH,
This is what happened to gold price when the first Gold Spot ETF was launched.
I don’t see a “sell the news” event there, and there are even several differences with Bitcoin:
1) Gold is a 5,000 years old asset and well known, most of the people are still skeptic on Bitcoin,
I consider

one of the brightest minds in the whole Bitcoin ecosystem.
Firstly his long article “The Bullish Case for

The episode where
The funniest fact of the Bitcoin story is that Bitcoiners, who have spent hundreds of hours to understand Bitcoin, in the next years, having a Bitcoin portfolio, by just “buying and hold” will outperform any financial advisor or investment company that will be spending
You cannot understand

if you don’t understand the problem that it is solving.
A deep study on the history of money is needed. Till when you don’t realize that our current monetary system is broken, there is no chance to truly understand Bitcoin
That is why

will win.
Most of the Bitcoin are in hand of diamond hands who will never sell, no matter what.
They can be seen as psychopaths or morons, but in reality, at least the majority is a group of people who spent several hundreds of hours or thousands of hours
For all Bitcoiners, enjoy your weekend and be ready for Monday. If it is the same as last two Mondays it is gonna be fun!
Monday 02/26:
- The Nine Inflow: $542m

- Bitcoin Price: from $51.7k to $54.5k (+$2.8k / +5.4%)

in the last two days, almost the amount of Bitcoin mined in these two days (1,800 BTC)
After a whole night of sleeping, I am still shocked by the Video of WEF in favor of Bitcoin Mining. I think it is probably the biggest news on Bitcoin since the ETF launch.
I always stated that the Bitcoin Spot ETF approval would have changed the narrative but I was not thinking
The “window” to become a wholecoiner (owning at least 1 Bitcoin) is closing.
Once Bitcoin passes $50k again, I don’t think we will see again these prices. And it will be nearly impossible for the average person to acquire one full Bitcoin.
By trading for 13 months under $30k
Big wondering: one year ago with
#Bitcoin
above $50k so many people claiming “to have miss the bus” and “to buy BTC in case it was going under $30-40k”
With BTC at $17k, where all all of them?
Hard truth: if a person links buying BTC to a price, his BTC knowledge is poor

Spot ETF update of Friday 02/09, after 20 trading days: BOOM!🚀🔥💣
Grayscale outflow: $102m
The Nine Inflow: $505m
Net Inflow: $403m
While GBTC outflow remained in the range $80k-$100m, it has been a wonderful day for The Nine that all together saw an inflow higher
We are about to enter the biggest Bull Run in the history of
#Bitcoin
And still people wondering if they should allocate 1-2% max because it is “too risky”
We are, still, very very early
NFA
- Grayscale dumped $5b Bitcoin in 11 days.
- Bitcoin price is still above $43k
- Grayscale is likely almost done with dumping Bitcoin
- ETFs issuers started a marketing campaign in Google today
—> how can people be bearish on
#Bitcoin
? 🤷♂️
We just need to reach a new ATH, then a fast path for
#Bitcoin
towards $200k will be very realistic.
Once we reach a new ATH:
1) Bitcoin will be all over the news,
2) due to the ETFs approval the Stigma on Bitcoin is removed
3) Financial Advisors portfolios will be tracked
It looks like that, after four days, the selling pressure in the range $60k-$63k is getting exhausted.
Once it is exhausted, the first, real, attack to the ATH will begin
#Bitcoin
The reason why we had this retracement from $73.8k to $67k is the big selling pressure in the range $73.8k-$75k
Bitcoin touched that range and that selling pressure brought it down. Now that we have the ETF it is just a matter of time to exhaust that range and push for higher
I still cannot make my mind around this metric. It is literally mind blowing 🤯🤯🤯
Bitcoin is up +171% since the Bottom in November 2022, and despite this performance the amount of Bitcoin not moved in the last 12 months kept increasing during the whole time.
Almost no one is
If The Nine keep buying $400-500m Bitcoin per day and Grayscale outflow is exhausted, I think the next weeks will be very interesting team.
Once we reach $50k, more people will be interested, making $60k level possibly not difficulty to reach.
At $60, many more people will be
Important: it is better we fast our seatbelts 💺
Reason: Yesterday $IBIT had $570m in volume and $493m in Inflow.
Today, with more than three hours of trading left, $IBIT is already at $500m of volume.
#Bitcoin
One hour into the trading day, $IBIT is already at almost half a Billy, and $FBTC is at almost $250m
It seems to be another great day for volume, and expecting/hoping another full Billy on Inflow by the end of the day.

The more a portofolio including Bitcoin ETFs outperforms a traditional portfolio —>

Record outflow from GBTC today: $643m
I was not expecting such a big outflow continuing after two months.
GBTC had 378k
#Bitcoin
and today sold 9.6k Bitcoin. Good news is that they cannot go on with this pace for so long!
Decades from now, it will be clear to everyone that Bitcoin was the biggest invention of the century.
Now it is clear only to those who are curious enough to spend a lot of time in learning about

Unpopular opinion: a true Bitcoiner checks often the Bitcoin price.
The price move is not changing his strategy or his deep convinction on the Bitcoin value proposition.
We are all waiting to for Bitcoin to reach $100k for primarily three reasons:
1) Self-esteem: have the proof
Once Bitcoin reaches $100k-$120k, important for Bitcoiners, maybe even more important than the monetary gains, will be the thought that a obscure, dark question will start to be formulated in every 🧠 of every Bitcoin Skeptic who argued against Bitcoiners: “What if, after all,
My bet on $ inflow in the first week (5 trading days) after the Bitcoin ETF launch: $12-15b inflow! 🚀🚀🚀
It sounds a lot BUT:
- there will be 11 Issuers competing each other
- the 11 issuers have $15t AUM —> $15b is “just” 0.1% of that
- I believe many wealthy investors
If we keep having $200m-$300m daily net inflow from the
#Bitcoin
Spot ETFs, as we had in the last two trading days, I guess the bull run will be restarting again soon.
We don’t need much more, with the halving and a buying pressure of $250m per day, the buying pressure will be
A big problem with Bitcoin adoption is that the average person, also with a master degree, is almost completely ignorant on how money and the economics work.
Therefore it will take more time to understand

In two weeks

moved from $38k to $52k.
If the ETFs keeps buying at the past of last week ($2.3b net inflow - 44.3k Bitcoin) we should see $60k soon.
As
@Excellion
highlighted, such a buying pressure can’t be sustained at these prices.
During the night
#Bitcoin
recovered and reached again the $66k level.
Yesterday we had a healthy clean up: traders, people using leverage and people who wanted to take profits are out and now those Bitcoin are in diamond hands or acquired by those who will hold Bitcoin for long.
1) Btc not moved >1y up to 69%
2) Bitcoin on exchange down to 2.3m (11.7%)
3) Illiquid supply up to 15.2m (78.3%)
4) Bitcoin buyers of the last 12 months very likely to be HODLer
5) shrimps 🍤 and fishes 🐠 accumulating at a pace of 2,286 BTC/day
The Future of

Fun Fact: many experts predicted $10b-$15b Inflow in the Bitcoin Spot ETFs in 2024.
After just five and half weeks, we are at $4.9b Net Inflow, with an accelerating pace: $2.3b net inflow only in the last week.
We still have more than 10 months to go, and we are leading to
Gut feeling for next week: we will finally break the $50k-$53k.
Reasons:
1) Bitcoin is now on this range since almost two weeks after an uptrend from $42k to $50k. It is like there was enough time for accumulation and to “clean the path” liquidating all traders and sellers on
Despite Bitcoin moving from $16.5k to $52k in 13 and half months, the amount of coins that didn’t move in the last 12 months remains close to the ATH at 70%.
#Bitcoin
Personal opinion: we are on the cusp of something that humanity has never experienced so far: institutional FOMO for an asset with finite supply and where 70% of the supply didn’t move in the last 12 months, despite Bitcoin appreciating 112%.
The consequential short squeeze can
GBTC sending only 295
#Bitcoin
to Coinbase premium ($15.2m). The least amount so far! 🎉🎊
Another great day may be ahead of us.
It is time for $IBIT to pass the $500m daily inflow!
Let’s go!!! 🚀🚀🚀
GBTC sending 878
#Bitcoin
to Coinbase premium ($43m). Less than half Bitcoin they sent yesterday.
If The Nine buy another $400m-$600m as last Thursday-Friday-Monday, we should see another great day for
#Bitcoin
1) New ATH ✅
2) 70k broken strongly ✅
3) Wall Street still in deep sleep ✅
4) It is a Monday (generally good performance on Mondays) ✅
Today we can see really a great performance of Bitcoin, with the potential to have the waited “god candle” ($10k)
A great day is just
GBTC sent ~1.6k
#Bitcoin
to its Coinbase premium account (~$116m)
More than last Friday but again not a significant amount.
Let’s see if also this week we will have more days with outflow lower than $100m.
#Bitcoin
is trading in the range around $70k for 86 hours now, great acclimatization signal.
It looks like that $70k is the new normal.
Once we have exhausted the selling pressure at that range, we will be ready for a new pump.
GBTC sending only 776
#Bitcoin
to Coinbase premium ($39m).
Since the ETFs launch, the 11th of January, is the lowest amount of Bitcoin so far that GBTC sent to Coinbase prior to the opening of the trading day.
Last two trading days GBTC sent more than $150m of BTC to Coinbase
#Bitcoin
back to $67.8k
A very good clean up during the last 48 hours. Several group of people have sold Bitcoin or have been liquidated:
1) Traders
2) People using leverage
3) People panic selling
4)People taking profits
All flushed out, with those Bitcoin likely in the hands
Every 10k Bitcoin Price appreciation ($50k-$60k-$70k-$80k etc…) will be triggering a “call” for traditional investors and Bitcoin skeptics, a call that will have two options:
1) Bend The Knee to Bitcoiners. Admit that Bitcoiners were right and that Bitcoin is The Superior Asset
WOW!
WEF releasing a video in favor of Bitcoin Mining. Finally they are admitting the benefits of Bitcoin Mining.
Definitely another effect of the Bitcoin ETFs approval! 🎉
The whole narrative worldwide is shifting! 🚀🚀🚀
While the

Spot ETFs are seeing a huge inflow, the gold spot ETFs are seeing an outflow.

To put things in prospective: many experts forecasted a total net inflow between $10b and $15b for 2024.
In the last three trading days the total net inflow has been $2.2b.
We are very bullish, but maybe not bullish enough.
#Bitcoin
BREAKING: Very Interesting fact in GBTC narrative. We are already 75’ into the trading day and still not coins sent from GBTC to its Coinbase account (last transactions are from 16 hours ago)
As far as I know, it is the first time it happened since the ETFs launch.
Let’s see
GBTC sent ~1.9k
#Bitcoin
to its Coinbase premium account (~$120m).
An amount higher than yesterday, but not that significant.
So far this week has seen an outflow lower than previous weeks, hopefully it will continue in this way!
