What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.

Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

A Thesis for Institutional Investment


Messari   -  3 years ago

 

Messari takes a macro-oriented and data-driven approach to making a very strong investment case for Bitcoin, culminating in a comparison to gold which suggests a 6300% upside potential:

story image


The core thesis is build around the observations that:

  • Bitcoin is experiencing institutionalization via various investment products, futures, lending instruments, etc
  • Bitcoin is increasingly relevant on the macro-stage as a new asset class
  • Central bank monetary policy, accelerated by Covid-19, amplifies bitcoin's value prop and accelerates market adoption
  • The current political environment is consistent with the end of debt-supercycles, and the consequent rise of MMT creates an environment where bitcoin can thrive.

tldr

The investment case for bitcoin is especially strong right now, because:

  • Bitcoin is maturing as an asset class (more tools and financial instruments that institutions can use)
  • The broad macro environment is highly supportive, with long-term debt super-cycle trends accelerated by Covid-19
  • Bitcoin's upside is tremendous relative to other store-of-value assets (such as gold), given that it's starting from a much smaller base.
