The price of BitcoinBitcoin1$ 60,183.360.18%-6.01%-15.89%details over the last 12 years has been full of boom and bust cycles. In an attempt to make sense of these macro price movements, several models have been developed over the years.
One of the most popular models is the Stock-To-Flow model (S2F), authored by PlanB. In this video, PlanB and I discuss the similarities between Stock-To-Flow, Stock-To-Flow Cross Asset (S2FX), Lengthening Cycles, and Diminishing Returns.
We discuss how the various models are constrained and what they are attempting to predict. Perhaps there are more similarities than differences and it may take another full cycle to see which model the price of Bitcoin trends towards. Does S2F allow for lengthening cycles? Can you have lengthening cycles but no diminishing returns? We discuss all of this and more!
