There has been a lot of talk about the #Bitcoin price lately. Lots of people are excited about recent price movements. And after a ~๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฌ% ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ, that excitement makes sense.
But remember: This isnโt the bull run. This is just a warmup.

There are several factors that will likely coincide to make the coming bull run something of legend. ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐, Bitcoinโs hashrate has been repeatedly making new all-time highs. ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ, the SEC is running out of excuses for delaying the Bitcoin ETF much longer. ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฑ, and ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฑ๐ด ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ด๐ต ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ญ๐บ, the halving is only a few months away.
๐๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ
History has shown that Bitcoin's price follows its hashrate. Before there was any price, there were miners who secured the blockchain with their hashes, or the work required to find each new block. Eventually, the ledger became secure enough to give users enough confidence to store a little of their wealth there, and Bitcoin began to trade at a price.
A cycle soon began in which the rising price makes users want to mine more, which secures the chain more, which inspires more confidence and demand, and those lead to higher prices:

And now the hashrate is almost ๐ฑ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ (or almost 500 ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ hashes every second! ๐คฏ), and frequently reaching new all-time highs. This heightened security isnโt widely known yet, so the confidence, demand, and price havenโt caught up with the hashrate yet, either. ๐๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ.

Thereโs a lot of noise out there about an eventual Bitcoin ETF. While the SEC will likely keep dragging its feet on approving one, many believe that itโs ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฉ๐ด away, not years. And as weโve seen from a price spike following false alarm that the ETF had been approved, the market has not priced it in by any means.
Not that a Bitcoin ETF will really matter in the long run. Yes, it will attract many large institutions, and raise the Bitcoin price significantly, but ๐ถ๐โ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป. Sovereign bitcoiners should avoid it, and leave the legacy fiat institutions to play their fiat games and win fiat prizes.

As I explained recently, the next halving will make Bitcoinโs stock-to-flow ratio jump from about 59 to over 120. Historically, the higher a moneyโs stock-to-flow ratio is, the better it is as storing value, and thus far, gold has had the highest stock-to-flow ratio of any former type of money, at around 62. ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ช๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ญ๐บ ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ข ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ข ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ค๐ฌ-๐ต๐ฐ-๐ง๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ตโ๐ด ๐ข๐ด ๐ฉ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐ข๐ด ๐๐ช๐ต๐ค๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏโ๐ด ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฆ!
The price today is the result of supply and demand, where the supply is 6.25 new bitcoin approximately every 10 minutes. But in a few months, the new supply will be halved down to 3.125. If demand just stays the same, ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ฆ? And if/when a Bitcoin ETF and the rising hashrate create ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ demand, then ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐ค? Probably not.

Letโs not forget the many signs that are pointing to a recession โ and perhaps even complete collapse โ in the near future. Everything from treasury yield curves, to rising unpaid debt, to multiple wars, to the money printer that will undoubtedly be used to โfixโ all those problems, plus moreโฆ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ!
So enjoy these small price increases, but ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ค๐ช๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ take advantage of these low prices! And no matter what the price does, ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ต๐๐บ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ฎ๐๐.
