Bitcoin Market (BTC) in the Making with Participants Institutions Regulators and Derivatives

Fundamental analysis is a method of determining a stock’s real or “fair market” value. Fundamental analysts search for stocks which are currently trading at prices which are higher or lower than their real value.

Does Bitcoin (BTC) have a fundamental value?  Bitcoin fundamental analysis is different from equity fundamental analysis because of the lack of cash flows. Fundamental analysis is based on macro events which in reality do not directly relate to Bitcoin.

Fundamentals of Bitcoin network and the statistics is important to get an insight into how people will use BTC in the future.

For several assets, the fair value is the discounted value of all their future cash flows.  However, Bitcoin does not generate any cash flow and therefore its fair value cannot be arrived by the future cash flows.  Thus, the fundamental analysis of Bitcoin is focused on strictly by determining where the price of the asset is heading to.  While there are several methods to determine the fundamentals, the supply and demand factor is the most use.

The monetary policy of BTC is predictable and the total circulating supply can be determined easily and accurately.  Thus, the price of BTC is determined by the rate at which new BTC is added to the pool by making use of the stock-to-flow model.

Further a very complex fundamental analysis will help determine the overall demand for BTC.  Investors place emphasis on the shifting sentiments of Bitcoin and they are more keep about tracking Onchain activity and the effect of how macroeconomics have an effect on how people make use of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin being projected as an inflationary hedge will push the price of BTC up when there is a money printing spree.  Available metrics like Onchain volume, address creation, and network fees are publicly available statistics which is used to derive fundamental analysis about Bitcoin network.

All of these insights provide for the investors projection of the demand and therefore the eventual price of Bitcoin.

Market Participants, financial institutions, regulatory shifts, and derivatives products constitute the Bitcoin Market.

Bitcoin also competes as a store of value versus gold, bonds, real estate, and high art. Bitcoin is not backed by any other asset.  And, when the question arises as to what backs the price of Bitcoin? The answer seems to be Gold and fiat currencies are not backed by anything either.

The market is still in the making and when all the Bitcoins are mined, miner revenue will be based on the transaction fees.  Further the price and purchasing power of Bitcoin will be adjusting to the lack of new supply.  The scarcity of BTC will also make it attractive to investors and users.
