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.

Citibank Sr. Analyst Draws Analogies to 1970s Gold Market, Targets BTC $318,000


Crypto Briefing   -  4 years ago

 

A report by Citibank Managing Director Tom Fitzpatrick surfaced over the weekend, drawing strong fundamental analogies between bitcoin today, and the gold market of the 1970s. The report cites recent macro-economic events as analogous to closing the gold window in the early 1970s, and Bitcoin as "21st century gold", experiencing rapid monetization and financialization in response to structural macro changes.


Fitzpatrick goes on to analyze bitcoin's price cycles, and arrives at perhaps the largest medium term institutional price target we've seen for BTC: $318,000 by the end of 2021:

tldr

  • This is reminiscent of Paul Tudor Jones' May 2020 Macro Outlook where he said "Bitcoin reminds me of gold when I first got in the business in 1976"
  • Fitzpatrick's analysis is interesting, given its mixture of both fundamental analysis of bitcoin's properties plus the macro backdrop, as well as technical price analysis.
  • This is yet another example of the rapid mainstreaming of Bitcoin on Wall St. that has been a hallmark of 2020.
