Bitcoin + Gold = BOLD

Date: March 17, 2021
Time: 12:00 am - 12:00 am
Location: Zoom presentation

Both gold and bitcoin are deemed to protect investors from inflation. The main difference is that bitcoin thrives during risk on conditions, whereas gold prefers risk off. In this regard, bitcoin has much in common with industrial commodities and financials.

Charlie will cover the current macro environment, and show how gold passed the baton to bitcoin in the late summer, as soon as the economy showed signs of rebounding. He will cover his gold valuation and regime models and the outlook for real rates. He will then dive into bitcoin metrics, show valuation models, the network growth and key supply metrics along with institutional fund flows. Finally, he will show how bitcoin and gold work together to provide an inflation hedge in both risk on and risk off conditions.
