Justification
  • US economy remains resilient, with a strong private sector balance sheet (the wealth 30% anyway).
  • Fed is asymmetrically dovish, kowtowing to fiscal dominance by artificially stimulating demand for US Treasurys amid explosive growth in US federal deficit.
  • Weakening USD should accelerate dollar recycling and provide China scope to support their flagging economy with stimulus.
  • US fiscal impulse and treasury's financing policy are getting increasingly positive in Q4 ahead of $700 Bn spenddown of the US TGA in Q1 2025.
  • Trump election may drive euphoria in the short term, but his policies risk stagflation in the medium term (bad for $BTC)
  • NEAR TERM RISK: Tight Democrat election win could lead to civil unrest, as Trump and MAGA unlikely to accept result. Long term, civil unrest may boost use case / adoption.


My April 2025 $BTC target: $125 K USD

Didn't realise you were so bearish @Rapstar ;)

Seriously though, could easily see that target hit by your deadline. With enough speculative fervor -- especially with ETFs and instos in the mix this time around, and the macro themes you mention -- it could get pretty wild next cycle.

I struggle to put an exact target on this thing, but I'm a holder so long as adoption grows -- specifically, increasing number of people/corporations/institutions/sovereigns use it as a store of value. (Medium of exchange/payments, platform integrations, DeFi etc will likely lag this initial use case)

That trend, if it continues, will tend to overlap with periods of increased speculation, which will continue to drive repeated booms & busts (albeit with higher-highs and higher-lows along the way). Which will make this such a diabolically hard thing to trade.

So, I keep it simple, adoption go up = hold. Adoption stalls/falls = sell
