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.

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...
