I've watched Friday's DB twice now and speaking as a relative noob, it feels like so much of the conceptual knowledge I've taken in since joining RV is playing out in real time. (i mean, it's always playing out, but there's this convergence across major macro components--dollar, bonds&yields, inflation, commodities, knock-on effects, sector interplay--that feels a bit different in my experience). Any chance @Jack Farley @Nick Correa could do a quick follow-up explainer video and unpack some of this one?

Another one from the Weston’s old chart archives (11k+ files). Though I’ve actively traded and separately held BTC since before the ‘17 boom bust, it wasn’t a serious enough sized position. This time last year is when I went responsibly long, cracked into double digit % of BTC allocation. After doing so, I was trying to help my friend “get off zero“ (how quaint) - and sent the following chart to explain:

“looking a year ahead from now, worst case scenario BTC finds support at $8k higher low- which is only -20% downside from here!” 

12 months ago, instead of saying the nonsense from above, if I had said “BTC will be >$30k, and such levels will be considered an absolute disaster…”   

Let’s just remember to remember and keep perspective
