Liquidity is one of the key variables when looking at the financial markets. The data currently available all indicate that the global liquidity situation will improve significantly in the short and medium term. The charts clearly indicate that the trough is long behind us. If our observation that Bitcoin is very highly correlated with the liquidity delta is correct, then we should experience an exciting 2024, apart from the upcoming halving, which should act as a fire accelerator.

Thanks. Love the work of Michael Howell from cross border. Darius Dale from 42 macro also does a lot of work around liquidity. He does point out that at the minute cyclical inflation expectations are the dominant driver of Bitcoin

So you're saying it's time to start laying on the leverage? Max out the credit cards to stack more Bitcoin?

No. That's something I would never do and never recommend. I follow the Hanseatic merchant's adage: only make deals by day that let you sleep soundly at night.

I don't think the fed liquidity has a thing to do with #Bitcoin. Bitcoin will do what it will do without fed LiQuiDiTy

Liquidity is crucial for adoption. It's growth is the reason why humans are watching for scarce assets to protect their purchasing power. Liquidity growth (or debasement of currency) is the key to understand why BTC attracks interest of people.

No I don't think so, Liquidity has nothing to do with adoption. Adoption is: Lightning, Liquid, ETF(flawed but still), cold storage, bitcoin merchants, Bitcoin beach, Bitcoin in africa, local bitcoin comunities, ES, Bitcoin mining countries, miners, Bitcoin jobs,.. Those are real metrics of adoption and liquidity comes after not before

What You are describing are the vehicles of adoption, the vectors. But these are not the driving forces as I explained.

why are you kids always so quick to get pissed off? it's not about winning or losing, but about our shared intellectual evolution when we discuss an issue. i'm very grateful to you for taking the time to look at my situation critically and to challenge me to think about my own position.

I was very greatful to your challenge too and I am not pissed. I just think liquidity is the wrong way to measure adoption. If a multi-billionaire sell/buy $10billion of bitcoin that doesn't make them an adoption god who can increase/decrease adoption, when you look at it that way you will see what I mean
