Stock-to-flow model massively incorrect for the first time - is it still credible?



The stock-to-flow model from Twitter user Plan B has long been considered one of the best predictive models for the price development of Bitcoin. The model has proven to be spot on over and over again in recent months. But now it seems to be massively wrong for the first time. Can we still trust the model?

Stock-to-flow model falls far short of the predicted mark

The stock-to-flow model is a Bitcoin price prediction model from the famous Twitter user Plan B. It has over 1.5 million followers and its model has always been alarmingly correct in the past. The model is based on the steadily increasing scarcity of Bitcoin as a result of the Halvings.

In the past, Plan B has predicted the development of the Bitcoin rate with terrifying accuracy. However, he was wrong for November. Because then the Bitcoin should be at $ 98,000 according to the forecast. In fact, the Bitcoin price was around $ 57,000 on November 30th. Then at the beginning of December the new crash occurred.

Plan B: Floor model instead of stock-to-flow model with incorrect forecast

According to the author of the model, many followers misunderstood his statement. Because the $ 98,000 was not a prediction of the stock-to-flow model, but of its floor model. This predicts the minimum price of Bitcoin at a certain point in time. This has always been right in the last few months, but this time it was wrong for the first time.

Because the stock-to-flow model only predicts the average value for the coming cycle. According to the model, this is $ 100,000. Therefore, there is still enough time for the Bitcoin price to level off. The floor model was wrong for the first time, but the arrival of the forecast could simply be postponed.

How credible are the predictions?

Certainly Plan B, with its somewhat opaque communication of its models, did not help the crypto community to keep track of things. This led to confusion and the statement that the stock-to-flow model was now wrong. However, the course can actually continue to level off. The floor model was also wrong for the first time, after having been completely correct dozens of times.

Missing the course targets is not the end of the world. Because every investor who places such high hopes in these models should be clear that nobody can predict the price development of Bitcoin with 100%. 

In addition, the discovery of a new Corona variant may have been something like a "Black Swan" - an unexpected event that makes forecasts void. In order to finally assess the credibility of the models, we should wait at least until January 2022.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
