Bitcoin: Is It Worth the Fuss? 🤷

by

Another day, another pronouncement on the ‘true’ value of Bitcoin. Apparently, some fellow named Root, a “cycle analyst” – a profession one hopes doesn’t involve staring into crystal balls – has decreed that Bitcoin is, at this very moment,… adequate. Neither tragically overvalued, nor insultingly undervalued. Just… there. Honestly, one almost feels a pang of disappointment. All that hype for ‘fair value’? 🙄

The Illusion of Precision

This Root, you see, has constructed a rather elaborate model, the “On-chain Value Map.” It involves things like “Realized Cap” (the collective memory of what investors thought they paid), “Liquid Supply” (the coins people are itching to spend, or perhaps, slightly regretting they bought), and “Coin Days Destroyed” – which sounds suspiciously like a small tragedy unfolding on the blockchain. Every time a Bitcoin moves, a little bit of its digital history vanishes. Dramatic, isn’t it?

The ‘Realized Cap,’ apparently, wants us to believe that the price reflects what people actually paid for it. As if human memory, driven by profit and loss, is ever truly ‘realized’. And the ‘Liquid Supply’? A measure of impatience, more like. How many people are regretting their impulse buys? One shudders to think. 🤔

Then we have “Coin Days Destroyed.” The longer a Bitcoin sits inert, the more ‘coin days’ it accumulates. When it’s finally spent, those coin days are… destroyed. It’s a strangely morbid concept, isn’t it? Like watching dust motes dance in the sun, only with numbers. Apparently, when this number spikes, it means those stubbornly holding on for years are finally cashing out. A silent, digital sigh of relief, no doubt.

And after all this calculating, charting, and frankly, overthinking… the conclusion? It’s ‘fair.’ As if fairness has ever had much to do with markets. 😒

The chart, as you can see, is a complex web of lines and zones. It peaked spectacularly at ‘overvalued’ during the all-time high. Now it’s… back to normal. A bit like a fever breaking. One wonders if the patient will relapse.

So, Bitcoin isn’t a bargain, nor is it a bubble. It just… is. A perfectly serviceable, neutrally-valued digital asset. How delightfully anticlimactic. Perhaps we should all have a nice cup of tea. ☕

The Price, Naturally

Currently hovering around $87,600, it hasn’t deviated much from this ‘fair’ valuation. Which, frankly, is the most depressing part of the whole story. To climb you must fall, and to fall you must first climb. It’s all rather exhausting. Perhaps a nap is in order.
