Gold down. Stocks down. Oil down. Bitcoin flat.
Maybe the safe haven narrative isn't off after all?
Happy Humpday Blockfolians,
The Lede
Yesterday, this newsletter was all about how a bevy of on-chain analysis firms were showing that the carnage of bitcoin selling seemed to reflect everything sold. Over the last couple days, we’ve started to see something of a shift. Bitcoin has remained largely flat while stocks and other markets have continued to lose.
The takeaway probably is less about any one bitcoin narrative’s correctness, and more about the fact that we are in completely uncharted waters, in an extremely vast moving environment. In that context, simply trying to understand what the evidence is showing might be enough of a task.
