Where is All the Bitcoin? 📊

It’s a great question.

So let’s dive in and see a full breakdown:

  • 57%: Individuals

  • 17.6%: “Lost BTC”

  • 6.6%: Yet to Be Mined

  • 5.2%: Satoshi (Creator) Wallet

  • 3.9%: BTC ETFs

  • 3.6%: Corporations

  • 3.4%: BTC Miners

  • 2.7%: Government

The thing you have to remember with this financial and technological phenomenon that is Bitcoin…

Is that there is only so much ‘pie’ to go around. There will be NO more.

The US Dollar pie continues to increase to ‘ensure everyone gets some’.

Notice the difference?

Economics 101: What does it tell you?

How Many People Own 1,000+ Bitcoin? 🧐

The whales.

The institutions are buying.

And the number of entities that own more than 1,000 BTC is almost at an all time high.

THE BIG BOYS HAVE OFFICIALLY ARRIVED.

You cannot front run them anymore.

You can now only join the wave.

BTC ETF? ETH ETF? Time for SOL ETF?

BTC ETFs are pumping. We are waiting for ETH ETFs to go live.

And there are now rumors that BlackRock have started the application process for a Solana ETF.

This would be game-changing for the coin that has a less than $100B market cap.

Sooo… let’s be realistic. What are our odds?

There are 2 components to consider:

  1. BTC and ETH have both had futures ETFs approved and trading before spot ETF was approved. SOL does not have one

  2. SOL is currently considered a ‘security’ (not a commodity) and has open court cases with Coinbase and Kraken about it

But you know what isn’t a security and can actually launch an ETF?

Dogecoin - the ultimate memecoin.

Jokes aside - it has a serious chance of being next in line on the ETF rollercoaster.

Crypto & The Elections 👀

Elections: The crypto swear word of 2024.

Election years are always INCREDIBLY active.

Politicians start doing and saying things you’d never think they would have.

Money starts flowing in directions you never thought was possible.

So, we’re just a few months out from D-Day and where are things?

Well, the stock market has made ~25 new all time highs in 2024 so far…

Bitcoin is trading at $65-70k, and ETH is at $3.5k.

And if the stock market prices in things 6-9 months in advance..

Who do you think people are betting on winning the elections?

Well, the biggest bank in the world (JP Morgan) says Trump.

Let this stew.
