Bitcoin

<h2 id="quick-take">Quick Take</h2>
<ul>
<li>Between the months of November 2022 and January, Bitcoin fell below $20k.</li>
<li>According to the Difficulty regression model (The all-in cost to mine 1 Bitcoin), it was an unprofitable time for miners.</li>
<li>Miners were distributing coins in excess of the mined supply, with Values &gt; 100%, and depleting treasury reserves.</li>
<li>Now, the miner supply spent indicates value = 100%; in the aggregate, a volume of coins equal to the total mined supply was spent. This is supported by the miner balance which is flat year-to-date.</li>
<li>In Tuur Demeester&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/TuurDemeester/status/1650881929535684617?s=20">latest report</a>, CryptoSlate agrees that miner capitulation was last year, and miners are much stronger from a debt position point of view (See extract below).</li>
