Deep Dive Special: Bitcoin Valuation Frameworks

The team offers a comprehensive report on frameworks for valuing Bitcoin, acknowledging its unique nature that defies traditional financial models. It primarily examines four interconnected approaches: the "Digital Gold" narrative, comparing Bitcoin's monetary properties to precious metals; the Stock-to-Flow model, which attempts to quantify value based on scarcity but has shown limitations; on-chain analysis, utilizing the public blockchain for fundamental economic data; and network effects, assessing value through user adoption and Metcalfe's Law. Additionally, the team considers various other valuation methods and external factors like market sentiment, regulation, macroeconomic conditions, technological innovation, and ESG concerns, all of which influence Bitcoin's complex and dynamic price discovery.
