Plan B: “Stock-to-flow model is still intact”



PlanB's stock-to-flow model is well below plan. But the author still sees no reason to panic. 

Things are getting tight: The benchmark for the validation of the stock-to-flow model (S2F) , arguably the hottest Bitcoin price model on the market, is $ 100,000 by the end of the year. At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at just over half that, or more precisely at $ 57,000. But the anonymous exchange rate analyst is not throwing the gun in the towel that quickly. In the podcast with Stephan Livera, PlanB discusses the well-being and woe of the S2F. But what exactly is the S2F model?

“The stock-to-flow models are fundamental models. Unlike other price-driven price models, they are based on fundamental data - in this case the scarcity, ”the analyst told Stephan Livera.

His floor model is also interesting. PlanB had thus often correctly predicted the “worst-case scenarios” in the growth of the Bitcoin exchange rate - but in November it was spectacularly wrong. Instead of $ 98.0000, the Bitcoin price only closed below $ 60,000.

Another point of contention in terms of stock-to-flow is the efficiency market hypothesis. Can the model become a self-fulfilling prophecy if enough traders act on it? Probably not, according to PlanB. “The market momentum is much more crucial. If the price goes down, investors sell, if it goes up, they buy. Even with 1.5 million followers, I have no influence on that. "

S2F (still) intact

Higher prices, in turn, lead to increased volatility - and at some point bring the price down again. A supercycle theory, i.e. the idea that Bitcoin only strives upwards from a certain price level, cannot be made with PlanB:


“As soon as we hit the $ 100,000, Fomo will kick in. If the price then goes through the roof, people will eventually sell, that overheats the market. "

In other words: Supercycle theory is a nice idea, "but greed and fear are still opposed to it," says the anonymous course analyst.

But is the model still correct despite the meager price performance? Yes and no. PlanB had said at the beginning of the year that the model would be invalid if BTC did not reach six digits by the end of the year. But in the podcast with Stephan Livera, the trader rows back.

The digital gold would only have to be worth over USD 100,000 on average, measured since it was halved. In other words: Bitcoin can still make up for its underperformance if the price should rise significantly soon. But one thing is certain: it is slowly getting tight.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
