Musk's call for a live-streamed inspection of Fort Knox challenges decades of secrecy, sparking a debate about financial trust. Elon Musk ignited the discussion by questioning whether Fort Knox actually holds its reported $425 billion gold reserve. His concerns...

If the US government follows through on its plan to cut spending and save trillions of dollars, Amer...If the US government follows through on its plan to cut spending and save trillions of dollars, American citizens could soon receive a substantial financial boost. While this fiscal move appears responsible, it could unexpectedly benefit $DOGE, given its connection to Elon Musk's newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This potential 'airdrop for the masses' could further fuel interest in meme coins, especially those offering free airdrops, such as BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL). Donald Trump and Elon Musk, an unusual duo, have partnered on this plan. Both are strong cryptocurrency supporters. Musk's DOGE department has made sweeping changes across the US government, leading to federal workforce cuts, contract terminations, and unprecedented access to Treasury data to save around $2 trillion. Now, they propose returning a portion to taxpayers. Musk suggested a 'DOGE dividend' where 20% of the savings would be distributed to citizens, and another 20% used to repay national debt. Trump reportedly said he 'loves it.' If successful, this would result in a $5,000 airdrop to every American who pays federal income tax. This could also boost the value of $DOGE, though it has experienced a recent downturn. The plan might benefit Bitcoin-related meme coins like $BTCBULL, which is betting on a Bitcoin bull run and offering $BTC airdrops to holders if Bitcoin reaches $150,000 and $200,000. The project already raised over $2.5 million in presales. Further $BTC airdrops and $BTCBULL airdrops are planned for other Bitcoin price milestones. Bitcoin is currently trading near $100,000. It is worth noting that some analysts predict Bitcoin could reach $500,000 by the end of Trump's term. The project also includes token burns at various Bitcoin price targets to reduce the supply of $BTCBULL tokens. Staking is also available, currently offering a 172% annual percentage yield (APY). Crypto investments are highly volatile, and you should conduct thorough research and consult a financial advisor before investing.

Analysts point to Bitcoin's struggles to surpass its $109,000 peak, accompanied by a sharp drop in demand. Growing uncertainty is gripping the market as concerns mount about a potential unwinding of the yen carry trade.

Bitcoin's (BTC) four-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has fallen to a record low of 14.5...Bitcoin's (BTC) four-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has fallen to a record low of 14.5%, despite strong gains over the past year. Despite this decline, Bitcoin has still outperformed gold and stocks in that timeframe. Over the last year, BTC surged 88% despite the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes, hitting multiple all-time highs. While Bitcoin's four-year CAGR is the lowest ever recorded, it still surpasses gold's and stocks' returns (which have ranged from 4% to 13% over four years). The decline is notable compared to some other large-cap cryptocurrencies, such as Solana (SOL) which boasts a 118% CAGR, and XRP with a 49% CAGR. Only Ethereum (ETH) has a lower CAGR than Bitcoin at around 8%. Despite Bitcoin's lower CAGR, market analysts remain optimistic about its future performance. They believe Bitcoin could soon experience significant upward movement, and that its position as a safe haven asset is set to challenge gold's dominance. Analysts at Bernstein predict that Bitcoin could replace gold within the next decade. Experts like Matthew Sigel from VanEck and veteran trader Peter Brandt have also highlighted Bitcoin's potential to become a global monetary standard, with increasing strength against gold. Currently, Bitcoin trades at $97,804, up 1.7% in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin's price remains below the $100,000 mark, currently trading at $98,000. While this repr...Bitcoin's price remains below the $100,000 mark, currently trading at $98,000. While this represents a positive daily performance, the broader trend suggests ongoing bearish pressure. Over the past month, Bitcoin has decreased by 6%, and its current price is down 10% from the all-time high above $109,000 set last month. This sustained downturn has prompted market participants to analyze on-chain metrics for insights into the future. A key indicator, the Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (STH SOPR), has come under scrutiny. A CryptoQuant analyst, Burak Kesmeci, noted in a recent QuickTae upload that the STH SOPR, which measures whether short-term holders (those holding coins for less than 155 days) are selling at a profit or loss, appears to be stabilizing. A ratio above 1.00 indicates profit-taking, while a value below 1.00 suggests losses. So far in 2025, this metric has shown short-term holders selling at a loss during notable corrections. For example, on January 8th, when Bitcoin's price dropped from $104,000 to $92,000, the STH SOPR fell to 0.987. Similar declines on January 27th ($106,000 to $102,000; SOPR 0.990) and February 2nd ($104,000 to $91,000; SOPR 0.984) also saw the metric fall below 1.00. Currently, Bitcoin appears to be consolidating between $94,000 and $97,000, with the STH SOPR at 0.998. This near-neutral level suggests that short-term holders are no longer selling at significant losses, indicating that the fear-driven selling earlier this year might be easing. This is significant because short-term holder sentiment often plays a crucial role in the overall market direction. When short-term holders start turning a profit, they are more likely to share positive experiences, potentially encouraging new investors to join the market. This can accelerate upward momentum, setting the stage for a bullish phase. The recent stabilization of the STH SOPR, combined with Bitcoin's relatively stable price range, might signal a stronger rally in the coming months. While it's too early to definitively predict the next major market move, the near-neutral STH SOPR suggests that selling pressure from short-term holders has diminished. This could pave the way for a more stable price environment, and if positive sentiment continues to grow, Bitcoin could see renewed interest and eventually return to higher price levels.

The RHODL Ratio, calculated as the ratio between different age bands of Bitcoin's supply, tracks the relative amount of recently acquired versus older held coins. A recent surge in the 1-week RHODL band, relative to the 1-2 year band, was a hallmark of Bitcoin's previous bull market run above $100,000. Now, following the peak, the ratio is trending downward, indicating decreasing new investment. This trend is further supported by the momentum oscillator, which has entered a historical transition zone between bull and bear markets. This historical pattern suggests that the current Bitcoin price might be heading towards a downward trend. Bitcoin recently retraced to the $98,000 area, but has since declined back to around $97,000.

This upward movement coincides with a significant increase in open interest for Bitcoin perpetual futures contracts, a key indicator on centralized exchanges. According to ShayanBTC, a CryptoQuant contributor, this rising open interest suggests heightened activity in the perpetual markets, potentially signaling a significant Bitcoin price breakout in the medium term. However, the precise direction remains uncertain until further data emerges. CryptoQuant analyst CryptoOnChain's deep learning model (Wave Net) projects Bitcoin's price to fluctuate between $93,000 and $110,000 over the coming month, showcasing a range of potential price action. Despite the recent green daily performance, Bitcoin remains somewhat bearish, down 6.1% over the past month and 10.6% from its all-time high above $109,000 last month. Another analyst, RektCapital, noted that Bitcoin's price action is confirming a breakout from a 'Bull Flag' pattern, suggesting a continuation of the upward trend, provided the price holds above ~$96,700.

This price lag has been compounded by a slowdown in bullish sentiment among investors and a slowing euphoria regarding the crypto-positive influences of Trump’s new administration in the US.  Despite this rally slowdown, technical analysis continues to support a bullish long-term outlook for Bitcoin. The current stagnation appears to be a re-accumulation phase for bullish investors; a pattern observed multiple times before major upward moves this cycle. Furthermore, analysis shows that the USDT dominance is going to play a crucial role in triggering the next Bitcoin rally toward $150,000. Bitcoin’s Re-Accumulation Phase And The Role Of USDT Dominance According to a technical analyst (TradingShot) on the TradingView platform, Bitcoin is currently exhibiting an interesting accumulation trend alongside the USDT dominance. The USDT dominance reflects the percentage of the total crypto market capitalization in USDT, indicating whether traders favor stablecoins over riskier crypto assets. A high USDT dominance typically signals low buying pressure in cryptocurrencies. Conversely, a declining USDT dominance often suggests that traders are rotating funds back into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Related Reading: Bitcoin Weekly PPO Turns Red At $102,000, What It Means For The Bull Market Interestingly, the USDT dominance has had a crucial simultaneous occurrence with Bitcoin’s preparations for rallies this cycle. Two notable re-accumulation periods have occurred after Bitcoin bottomed in November 2022, with each leading to significant price rallies. The first accumulation period spanned from January 2023 to March 2023, while the second occurred between November 2023 and February 2024. Both of these re-accumulation phases took place at the 0.5 Fibonacci extension level from an earlier accumulation phase. Additionally, these phases shared common characteristics, including a peaking 1-day RSI structure in the USDT dominance chart and a pullback in the Dollar Index (DXY). Now, Bitcoin appears to be mirroring the same conditions again, with USDT dominance and the DXY pulling back with the current re-accumulation phase, which has been playing out since December 2024. If the pattern continues to unfold as expected, this could indicate that Bitcoin is on the verge of its next major rally. USDT To Send BTC To $150,000 If Bitcoin follows the pattern observed in previous rallies this cycle with the USDT dominance to the core, the re-accumulation phase could end within the next one or two weeks and eventually cause another rally to new all-time highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Unravels 157-Day Fractal Similar To Last Cycle, Why A Surge To $169,000 Is Possible In terms of a target, the analyst noted a potential $150,000 target for the Bitcoin price, at least before another major correction and a subsequent accumulation phase. However, Bitcoin must overcome key resistance levels, particularly the psychological $100,000 mark, which has served as a major hurdle in recent weeks.  At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $97,175, up by 1.6% in the past 24 hours. A move to $150,000 will represent a 54% increase from the current price. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview.com

ETH is gaining pace and an upside break above $2,755 could trigger bullish moves. Ethereum is still showing positive signs above the $2,650 zone. The price is trading above $2,720 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is following a key rising channel with support at $2,725 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a decent upward move if it settles above $2,755 and $2,800. Ethereum Price Eyes Upside Break Ethereum price remained supported above the $2,550 level and recently started a decent upward move, but it underperformed Bitcoin. ETH gained pace above the $2,650 and $2,660 resistance levels. The price even cleared the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,845 swing high to the $2,604 low. There was also a move above the $2,720 resistance level. Besides, the price is following a key rising channel with support at $2,725 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading above $2,720 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,755 level. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,845 swing high to the $2,604 low. The first major resistance is near the $2,790 level. The main resistance is now forming near $2,800 or $2,820. A clear move above the $2,820 resistance might send the price toward the $2,880 resistance. An upside break above the $2,880 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,920 resistance zone or even $3,000 in the near term. Another Decline In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,755 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,720 level. The first major support sits near the $2,665 zone. A clear move below the $2,665 support might push the price toward the $2,620 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,550 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,500. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining momentum in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now above the 50 zone.

The price has been closing between $2,650 and $2,750 for the past week, creating uncertainty in the short term. With ETH facing selling pressure and unable to reclaim the $2,800 mark, investors are growing concerned about its ability to recover. Related Reading: Solana Sweeps Lows But Recovers – Can Bulls Reclaim $185 by Friday? Despite the recent choppy price action, some analysts believe Ethereum could be gearing up for a bullish move. Crypto expert Carl Runefelt shared a technical analysis on X, stating that Ethereum has been forming a bullish pattern on the daily time frame. If this pattern plays out, ETH could see a strong breakout in the coming days. Ethereum is holding at crucial demand levels, making the next move critical for its short-term direction. If buyers step in and reclaim the $2,800 level, it could signal a trend reversal and open the door for a rally above $3,000. However, failure to hold support could lead to further downside, increasing selling pressure. With uncertainty looming, traders are closely watching ETH’s price action for confirmation of its next move. Ethereum Consolidation Continues Ethereum investors are trying to stay calm amid ongoing volatility, but fear continues to grow that ETH could see further downside if it fails to reclaim key levels. The price remains stuck in a tight range, trading between crucial liquidity levels of short-term demand and supply. Market sentiment is divided—some investors anticipate a deeper correction and prolonged consolidation, while others believe Ethereum is on the verge of a recovery rally. Runefelt’s analysis on X states that Ethereum is forming a symmetrical triangle pattern and could break out “any hour now.” According to Runefelt, the target for this potential breakout is $3,055, a level that could serve as a turning point for ETH’s short-term trend. However, Ethereum must first reclaim the $2,800 mark and hold above it to confirm the start of a recovery phase. If Ethereum successfully breaks above this resistance, it could trigger a strong rally, pushing prices back toward the $3,000 level. On the other hand, failure to hold support could lead to another wave of selling pressure. With uncertainty looming, all eyes are on ETH as traders await confirmation of its next major move. Related Reading: Ethereum Holds Multi-Year Bullish Structure – Time For A Comeback? With Ethereum trading at a critical juncture, the coming days will be crucial in determining its short-term direction. If bulls sustain momentum and push the price above key resistance levels, confidence in a recovery rally will grow. Price Testing Short-Term Supply Ethereum is trading at $2,750 after nearly two weeks of struggling to reclaim the $2,700 level. While bulls have held above key support levels, ETH remains stuck below crucial resistance, making price direction uncertain. The most critical level that bulls must reclaim is the $2,800 mark, which has acted as a strong supply zone for weeks. If Ethereum closes above the $2,800 level and holds above it, bullish momentum could build up, leading to a breakout. The next major target would be the 200-day Moving Average, which sits around $2,930. A push above this moving average would signal strength and open the door for ETH to test the $3,000 mark. Related Reading: Bitcoin STH Realized Profit Reveals Strong Support Level – Time For A Breakout? However, if ETH fails to break above $2,800 and faces rejection, the market could see renewed selling pressure. This scenario would likely send ETH back toward the $2,600 level, testing lower demand zones. With Ethereum trading in a tightening range, a breakout or breakdown seems imminent. Bulls need to step up and reclaim lost ground quickly, or bears may take control and push ETH into lower price levels. The next few daily closes will be crucial in determining Ethereum’s short-term direction. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

The price has struggled to establish a clear trend, with bulls attempting to push higher while bears hold firm at key resistance levels. This prolonged phase of sideways movement suggests that ETH is gearing up for its next big move—but the direction remains uncertain. Periods of consolidation often act as a springboard for significant price swings, making it crucial to watch the key support and resistance zones closely. A breakout above resistance could ignite bullish momentum, while a drop below support might trigger a fresh wave of selling pressure. With market sentiment shifting and external factors influencing price action, Ethereum’s next move could be just around the corner. Current Price Action And Technical Indicators Ethereum’s price action remains in a consolidation phase, with neither bulls nor bears establishing a clear trend. The market is showing signs of reduced volatility, indicating a breakout may be on the horizon. ETH is trading within a defined range, testing key support and resistance levels that will determine its next move. Related Reading: Ethereum Fees Back To Lowest Since August: Is This Bullish? Technical indicators provide mixed signals. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers near a neutral zone, suggesting neither overbought nor oversold conditions. Meanwhile, moving averages highlight key levels as ETH struggles to gain momentum above crucial resistance zones. Volume remains relatively low, signaling a lack of strong buying or selling pressure. With these indicators in focus, Ethereum’s next major move will likely depend on whether bulls can break resistance or if bears succeed in driving prices lower. Traders should keep a close watch on crucial levels to anticipate the direction of the next big price swing. Potential Scenarios For Ethereum: Bullish Surge vs. Bearish Breakdown As Ethereum continues its extended consolidation, the market braces for two possible outcomes: a bullish surge or a bearish breakdown. Both scenarios carry significant implications for traders and investors, making this a critical juncture for ETH’s price action. Related Reading: Altseason At Risk? Expert Believes Ethereum Must Hold $2,600 To Sustain Momentum If buyers regain control and push ETH above the key $2,862 resistance level, a strong breakout is likely to occur. A surge in buying pressure alongside increasing volume, may trigger a rally toward the next major resistance zone at $3,051. More investors are expected to be drawn following a successful move past this level, reinforcing upward momentum. On the other hand, if selling pressure intensifies and Ethereum loses critical $2,518 support, a bearish breakdown could occur. This would open the door for a deeper retracement, testing lower demand zones.  A decline in volume on recovery attempts would indicate weak bullish interest, increasing the likelihood of further downside. In this case, Ethereum eyes lower support zones such as $2,160 before finding stability. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com

While high transaction volume is often associated with bull markets, low fees in a down market can be a positive indicator for the mid-to-long-term price outlook. Lower fees make it cheaper for new buyers to enter the market, which could potentially support a price rebound. Ethereum's price has been hovering around $2,700 since the beginning of the month, following the recent market downturn. Whether this low fee period will spark a fresh Ethereum price surge, mirroring the rebound after the August low, remains to be seen.

ETH is rising like Bitcoin and might start another increase in the near term. Ethereum is still showing positive signs above the $2,620 zone. The price is trading above $2,680 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a key contracting triangle with resistance at $2,700 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a decent upward move if it settles above $2,725 and $2,755. Ethereum Price Eyes Upside Break Ethereum price remained supported above the $2,500 level and recently started a decent upward move, like Bitcoin. ETH broke the $2,620 resistance to move into a short-term bullish zone. There was a break above a key contracting triangle with resistance at $2,700 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The price was able to surpass the $2,720 level and tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,845 swing high to the $2,605 low. Ethereum price is now trading above $2,680 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,725 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,755 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,845 swing high to the $2,605 low. The main resistance is now forming near $2,800 or $2,820. A clear move above the $2,820 resistance might send the price toward the $2,880 resistance. An upside break above the $2,880 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,920 resistance zone or even $3,000 in the near term. Another Decline In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,755 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,700 level. The first major support sits near the $2,660 zone. A clear move below the $2,660 support might push the price toward the $2,620 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,550 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,500. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining momentum in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now above the 50 zone. Major Support Level – $2,660 Major Resistance Level – $2,755

フィデリティ・インベストメンツのグローバルマクロ部長、ジュリアン・ティマー氏は、火曜日に発表されたメモの中で、変化する経済状況が市場、中央銀行政策、そしてBitcoinと金のリターンにどのような影響を...フィデリティ・インベストメンツのグローバルマクロ部長、ジュリアン・ティマー氏は、火曜日に発表されたメモの中で、変化する経済状況が市場、中央銀行政策、そしてBitcoinと金のリターンにどのような影響を与える可能性があるかを考察しています。S&P 500が新たな高値を更新し、いわゆる「トランプ・トレード」が方向転換する中、ティマー氏は、財政政策、インフレ、そして「停滞」市場環境におけるリスク資産の役割に関する精緻な洞察を提供しています。トランプ効果ティマー氏は、2025年の最初の6週間は予期せぬ市場の動きと、異例の「ノイズ対シグナル比」の高さを示していると指摘しています。今年の市場の支配的な予想は、「金利上昇、ドル高、米国株式の上昇」を予想していましたが、それが急激に反転しました。彼は、「2025年らしいことに、金利上昇、ドル高、米国株式の上昇というコンセンサス取引は、その反対になったようだ」と述べています。ティマー氏は、年末に急騰したBitcoinは、3か月間のリターンランキングでトップに位置しており、金、中国株式、商品、欧州市場がそれに続きます。一方、下位には、米ドルと米国債がランク付けされています。関連読書：「Bitcoinが50万ドルに：スタンダード・チャータードが2028年の目標を倍増」S&P 500が過去最高値を更新しているにもかかわらず、ティマー氏は、大統領選後の楽観ムードの後、これは「消化期間」であると述べています。彼は、主要な指標の下にある市場は、はるかに決定的なものではないと説明しています。ティマー氏によると、均等加重指数は停滞しており、株式の55%しか50日移動平均線を上回っていません。「センチメントは強気、信用スプレッドは狭く、株式リスクプレミアム（ERP）は10番目のデシール、VIXは15に達しています。市場は成功を期待しているように見える。」ティマー氏は、2024年の収益成長率は11%と堅調だったものの、見直しは不十分に見え、長期金利が5%またはそれを超えるとどうなるかという懸念が残っていると指摘しています。ティマー氏の分析の中で最も重要な要素の1つは、連邦準備制度の政策です。彼は、最近の消費者物価指数（CPI）報告書（前年比コアインフレ率は3.5%）を、連邦準備制度が現状維持を続けるというほぼ全会一致の指標だと指摘しています。「今は連邦準備制度がしばらくの間現状維持になるとほぼ確実です。私の見解では、まさにその通りです。中立値が4%である場合、潜在的な可能性を考えると、連邦準備制度はそれよりわずかに高い水準にあるべきです。 ‘3は2の新バージョン’。」彼は、1966年から1968年の時期の政策ミス（金利の引き下げが早すぎて、最終的にインフレの芽を摘めなかったこと）を例に、早期の「政策転換」の可能性を警告しています。連邦準備制度が現状維持を続けることが確実なため、ティマー氏は、金利の次の市場要因は長期金利になると考えています。具体的には、彼は2つのシナリオ間の緊張を認識しています。1つは、膨大な財政支出と上昇する期間プレミアム（株式評価に影響を及ぼす）を特徴とするシナリオ、もう1つは財政規律を重視し、長期債券利回りを抑制するであろうシナリオです。ティマー氏は、新たな政権下の政府支出が雇用データにどのように影響するか、週間失業保険請求件数は債券市場にとってより重要な焦点になる可能性があると述べています。関連読書：「Bitcoinは27万3千ドルに達する最後の下げ相場か？市場ベテランがそう考えている」ティマー氏は、ブルームバーグ商品スポット指数に潜在的な強気パターン（ヘッドアンドショルダーズボトム）があることを指摘しています。彼は決定的な転換とは呼んでいませんが、コモディティは依然として広範な長期上昇トレンドにあり、インフレ圧力が高まったり、財政状況が緩和されれば、再び投資家の関心を集める可能性があると指摘しています。金はここ数年「大きな勝ち組」であり、多くの懐疑論者の予想を上回っているとのこと。「2020年以来、金はS&P 500とほぼ同じリターンを上げているにもかかわらず、ボラティリティは低くなっています。私の見解では、金は、債券が損なわれたままになる可能性がある体制においても、多様化されたポートフォリオの重要な構成要素のままである。」ティマー氏は、世界の通貨供給量の増加と実質金利の低下の中で、金が重要な3,000ドルのレベルに挑戦すると見ています。歴史的に金は実質金利と強い負の相関関係を示しているものの、ティマー氏は、金の最近の強さは、特に中国とロシアの中央銀行による地政学的需要という財政動向、ではなく、金融動向を反映している可能性があると信じています。Bitcoin対金ティマー氏によると、金とBitcoinの両方の上昇は「通貨インフレについて多くの議論を引き起こしています」。しかし、彼は「通貨量」（通貨供給量）と「通貨価格」（物価インフレ）の違いを明確にしています。「この分析のポイントは、時間経過とともに従来の資産価格の増加は、（一部のBitcoin信者の好きな趣味である）通貨の毀損によって説明できないことを示すことです。」と彼は書いています。ティマー氏のチャートは、名目上のM2と名目上のGDPは過去100年以上にわたってほぼ同じ動きを示しているが、消費者物価指数（CPI）は通貨供給の増加にやや遅れていることを示しています。彼は、資産価格を単独でM2と調整すると、誤った結論に至る可能性があると警告しています。それでも、彼の分析では、Bitcoinと金はどちらもM2と強い相関関係を持っているものの、その方法は異なります。「M2と金の間に線形相関があるのに対し、M2とBitcoinの間にはべき乗則の相関があるのは興味深い。同じチームの異なるプレーヤーです。」ティマー氏は、1970年以降の金の長期パフォーマンスを強調し、多くの債券ポートフォリオによって創出された価値に追いつくか、それを上回っていることを指摘しています。彼は、主権債市場が財政赤字と長期金利の上昇によって圧迫されている場合、金の役割は「債券に対するヘッジ」であると考えています。ティマー氏のメモは、Bitcoinの好調なパフォーマンスは、金や広範なマクロ経済環境とは切り離して見るべきではないことを強調しています。金利が変動しており、政策立案者が財政赤字に苦しんでいるため、投資家は従来の60/40ポートフォリオモデルを再評価せざるを得ないかもしれません。彼は、過去に通貨供給の拡大がインフレを促進したことが頻繁にあるものの、その関係は必ずしも1対1ではないことを強調しています。ティマー氏の見解では、Bitcoinの急騰は、金融政策だけでなく財政的な懸念が資産価格を押し上げているという市場認識を反映している可能性があります。「そして、点線のオレンジ色の線と緑色の線をみると、Bitcoinは、一晩の通貨が300年以上かけて作ったのと同じ価値を加えた」と彼は結論付けています。報道時点では、BTCは9万5,700ドルで取引されていました。フィーチャー画像：YouTube、チャート：TradingView.com
