Loved the “Mathilde” take—nice way to separate total supply from willingness to trade at a given price. In practice with fork coins (BCH/BSV/XEC, etc.), the bigger drivers seem to be liquidity and depth on fragmented venues, not some magical supply surge from one seller. You can nuke an order book in an illiquid market, but that’s just slippage—not a change in supply or aggregate demand.
Side note for anyone holding old BTC from fork eras: a lot of fork balances still sit unclaimed. I’ve used Bitcoin Fork Recycler ( https://bfr.sate.tools/ ) to paste a BTC/fork address and check if there’s anything unmoved on fork chains, plus a rough BTC estimate if swapped. Handy to know whether there’s value before pondering “dumping” or touching exchanges/KYC at all.
