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.

CIO of Guggenheim - Scott Minerd - Updates Long Term BTC Target to $400k-$600k


 

Guggenheim Partners ($270B AUM) CIO Scott Minerd updated his potential fundamental valuation target for BTC to "$400,000 to $600,000" yesterday in a CNN interview.


He said:

My view is, we did a lot of fundamental research, and if you consider the supply of bitcoin relative to the supply of gold in the world, and what the total value of gold is, if bitcoin were to go to those kinds of numbers, you’d be talking about $400,000 to $600,000 per bitcoin. Now, I'm not saying we'll ultimately get there, but that's an indication what might be a measure of fair value. That you gives you a lot of room to run.


Mr Minerd went on to strike a more balanced tone, suggesting bitcoin's recent run to just shy of $42,000 could be a speculative bubble which could retrace 50% from those highs. He elaborated:


But then when you consider that over the course of a month, we went from $20,000 to $40,000 on bitcoin, that smacks of short-term speculation. ... So you know bitcoin has had a lot of times where it's had setbacks of 50% form it's highs, I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen again.


However, he ended his comments on bitcoin with a decidedly positive long-term outlook, saying:

But I do want to say one thing, your comment about Elon Musk before we got started, Elon is definitely proven himself to be a visionary, and I think that crypto currency has come into the realm of respectability and will continue to become more and important in the global economy.

tldr

  • Mr. Minerd has made headlines twice recently for 1) his initial $400k price target, and 2) saying that in the short-term BTC could drop to $20,000.
  • Perhaps of some relevance is the fact that Guggenheim's Q4 2020 SEC filing for ability to invest in GBTC took effect as early as this past Sunday (Jan 31).

Are we missing a recent story that makes the case for bitcoin?
