The week in review
With Jason Deane
More than one person told me this week that Bitcoin is “boring right now”.
I have to respectfully disagree.
I note from my journal entries that a year ago today I did (one of many) live TV interviews for GCTV, in which we discussed Bitcoin breaking above $ 15,000 for the first time in three years. It was a big deal back then that caused a lot of excitement and media attention, but even then, reaching nearly $ 60,000 seemed like a big task. So much can change in a year.
It’s true that Bitcoin’s price has been in a tight range since around October 21, but let’s not underestimate its importance.
First, let’s recall that this range is just below the all-time high. This is important because it almost certainly means that a period of consolidation is underway. From a trading perspective, this is a good thing – the market has settled down a bit and is taking time to find its equilibrium. It also builds a level of psychological support and the longer it lasts, the more that support is perceived.
All of this means that any pricing up past this point has a more solid foundation and is likely to be more sustainable.
This apparent stability can also be a little misleading, obscuring the developments that are going on behind the scenes. While Bitcoin’s development is relentless, fueling new demand all the time, Glassnode reports show that wallet balances continue to decline. At some point, these two driving factors will interact more clearly, especially against the backdrop of steadily rising inflation and loose monetary policy from almost all parts of the world.
But until then it is up to us in the industry to use these so-called “boring” times to continue building up, informing, educating and promoting.
After all, they don’t last forever.
Have a nice weekend!
