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.

PayPal Already Impacting BTC Market


Pantera Capital   -  4 years ago

 

In Pantera's November 2020 Blockchain Letter, titled Bitcoin Shortage, they observe that bitcoin volumes on Paxos, the underlying crypto partner for PayPal, have gone through the roof since PayPal enabled crypto purchases on Nov 12th:

story image

Pantera goes on to note that it looks like PayPal alone - after just one week of operation - is "buying almost 70% of the new supply of bitcoins".

tldr

  • PayPal joins Square Cash and Grayscale as major pipelines for capital inflow
  • A key difference between bitcoin's 2017 bull run and the market today is the plumbing and overall market structure. The bitcoin market broadly is more ready to handle inflows today.
  • PayPal's impact has only been felt for 1-week. Usually volume takes time to build.
