WHAT IF THE ETF’S ARE DENIED? 🤔
We’ve spoken about the spot Bitcoin ETF’s a lot here over the last few weeks.

Bitcoin’s recent price rally has largely been due to the optimism surrounding their approval.
However have you ever considered what would happen if they were never approved?
The obvious answer is there would be some negative short-term price action. But, let’s take a look at what some analysts think would happen in this situation.
Laurent Kssis, a crypto trading adviser at CEC Capital had this to say:
“We could see a move downward and the target could be below $30,000… A cluster at $25,000 is highly unlikely unless the SEC is categorical, but I sense it will be a back-to-the-drawing-board situation and hope will still be in the back of everyone's mind.”
Hashdex CIO, Samir Kerbage, had this to say:
“In the case that a spot ETF isn’t approved soon, we believe Bitcoin’s 2024 investment case remains very strong… More investors are beginning to appreciate the benefits of bitcoin as a store-of-value asset or type of digital gold…. If history once again rhymes, the price of BTC will react positively to this scheduled reduction in supply."
The common theme here is that analysts believe that Bitcoin’s future price isn’t necessarily tied to the approval of an ETF.
There’s a little something called the halving just around the corner…
The approval of the ETFs is just added fuel to the fire. 🔥
Some analysts noted that the rejection of the ETFs by the SEC would likely result in a bunch of lawsuits being filed against them. Just like the Grayscale case. Surely the SEC doesn’t want that right?
So to answer the question, what would happen if the ETFs were denied?
Well, we would certainly see negative short-term price action. But as the halving approaches, Bitcoin would recover and the bull run would kick in.
That’s what the analysts are saying. 😎

BITCOIN IS HEADING TO $350,000🌕
Michael Saylor would have to have one of the highest convictions in the entire space.
You don’t invest close to $5 billion into Bitcoin unless you do.
MicroStrategy now holds 158,400 Bitcoin, bought at an average price of $29,586.
Which MicroStrategy have made ~$870 million in profit from their Bitcoin strategy. 🤯
But how high does Saylor think Bitcoin will go?

Although rarely giving predictions, in his latest interview he revealed his thoughts:
“Bitcoin is an asset without an issuer. It is the one, universally recognised protocol that’s a commodity in the space… I think the industry moves to the next level and we 10x from here.”
Although he didn’t give a timeline, Michael Saylor thinks Bitcoin is going to 10x from here.
Which would put Bitcoin at $350,000 a coin. 😳
This begs the question, if Saylor is correct, how much profit would MicroStrategy make on their BTC?
If Bitcoin hit $350,000 per coin, MicroStrategy's 158,400 Bitcoin, acquired at an average price of $29,586 each, would yield a profit of ~$50.75 billion.
Insane. 🤯
Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin trade will either go down as one of the greatest investments of all time, or a huge mistake.

WE’RE BACK IN THE GREEN 🤑
Today we’ll be taking a look at an interesting metric from Glassnode.
Their ‘Cointime Economics’ framework provides a much more accurate cost basis model.
It’s essentially an update to the Realized Price. Which is the average purchase price of the Bitcoin supply.
This model only focuses on active investors and excludes:
Lost coins
Satoshi's coins
Early Miner coins
These coins have an extremely low Realized Price as they last transacted when Bitcoin was less than $1 (skewing the data).
For the full breakdown of how this model is calculated click here.

As of today, the true market mean price is $30,296.
In comparison, the traditional Realized Price is currently at $20,692.
Quite the difference… $9,619 to be exact.
In October Bitcoin’s price convincingly broke through the true market mean price. 📈
Back in March and July, Bitcoin was looking like it would break through.
However it didn’t quite have enough steam to hold above.
So what does this data tell us?
Well, the average Bitcoin holder is now firmly back in profit. 🥳
Bottom Line: Glassnode’s True Market Mean Price model provides a much more accurate view of the cost basis for the Bitcoin supply.
Using this model, the average Bitcoin holder is now back in the green. This can result in a significant shift in investor sentiment (particularly short-term holders).
Holding above the True Market Mean Price is also a classic bull run indicator (take a look at 2021).
The bull run is just beginning… 🐂
