Dear reader, it appears the capricious Bitcoin has been leading a double life. While some esteemed policymakers (ahem, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell) have anointed it the “digital gold” of our times, its recent price shenanigans suggest it’s behaving more like a rakish tech stock – all flash, no substance, if you will 🤑.
In a delicious twist of fate, analysts at the illustrious Swiss crypto bank Sygnum have observed that Bitcoin’s price is, in fact, driven by its perceived value as a store of, well, value 🏦. Not, as one might expect, by the tech wizardry happening on its network. How quaint. How…human 🤷♂️.
“In reality, Bitcoin is mostly not a tech play…while most of its value hinges on it being accepted as a store of value asset.”
— Sygnum (the voice of reason in a chaotic crypto world 🙏)
Now, for the pièce de résistance: it seems Bitcoin has usurped Ethereum‘s role as the crypto market proxy 🤺. The assumption, dear reader, was that Bitcoin would be the gold standard (pun intended), while Ethereum would be the life of the blockchain party. Alas, no. New investors, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that holding Bitcoin is akin to having a VIP pass to the entire crypto soiree 🎟️.
“This is also evidenced by the poor adoption of the Ethereum ETFs — new investors for now conclude that a Bitcoin holding is sufficient to have exposure to the crypto market.”
— Sygnum (because who needs diversification, really? 😜)
In conclusion, the Sygnum analysts caution that if Bitcoin continues to behave like “the Nasdaq on steroids” 🚀, its aspirations of becoming a respectable reserve asset might be, well, dashed 😳. Its future, much like a debutante’s, hangs in the balance, awaiting the whims of the U.S. administration. Will it be “digital gold” or the crypto world’s resident wild child? Only time (and policymakers) will tell 🕰️.
