Show Notes
This episode covers Bitcoin’s recent drop below its median trend value, the growing anxiety in the market, and the importance of zooming out to understand long term valuation. Matthew begins by revisiting the Bitcoin power curve in USD and explains that Bitcoin is now trading below the 50th percentile for the first time in years. He walks through how this compares across currencies such as the euro, yen, rupee, naira, and lira, showing that weaker currencies often keep Bitcoin above the median due to rapid fiat debasement. The contrast highlights how different the experience feels depending on where you live. Matthew then shifts to Bitcoin priced in gold, which he calls one of the most important charts to watch right now. Bitcoin is extremely cheap relative to gold, entering the lower tenth percentiles that only appeared in rare stress events like 2020 and 2022. He explains why this metric offers a clear view into long term relative value and why gold bugs who ignored Bitcoin may soon face difficult choices. The episode also explores miner revenue, long term industry comparisons, and the gap between Bitcoin and major production sectors like oil and gold. Matthew closes with a reminder that short term fear does not override trend math. Bitcoin remains positioned for strong long term outcomes even if volatility continues into year end.
