The highly cited stock-to-flow model, designed to assign a theoretical value to Bitcoin<\/a> based on the asset’s hard-coded digital scarcity, may not be mathematically sound, according to the CIO of Arcane Assets, Eric Wall.<\/p>\n Wall not only claims the S2F model<\/a> is flawed, but has offered up an alternative, dubbed the Reddit Rainbow chart, that could potentially provide a far better model for predicting Bitcoin’s price trajectory.<\/p>\n With the Bitcoin halving less than one month away, hope that the event produces bullish results has almost entirely faded from the cryptocurrency market, due to the impact the coronavirus has had on the economy, the stock market, and nearly everything else it touches.<\/p>\n As the pandemic outbreak spiraled out of control, it prompted a mass sell-off that caused a record-breaking drop in Bitcoin<\/a> and other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Bitcoin Shows Ideal Set Up For Epic Rally: Stock-to-Flow and Oversold RSI\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The collapse broke down a seven-year trend line, crushed the logarithmic growth curve, and smashed just about every valuation model imaginable. It also made the stock-to-flow model predicting a $55,000 Bitcoin in May 2020 – less than 30 days away – seem rather unrealistic.<\/p>\n The model’s creator, PlanB, based it on statistics from BTConometrics.com, however, the mathematics behind the stats have since been abandoned by the author and are considered invalid.<\/p>\n The author’s new price model puts Bitcoin<\/a> somewhere near $30,000 in 2021, lowered from the initial $80,000 SF2 estimate.<\/p>\n The CIO of Arcane Assets, Eric Wall, also claims<\/a> that the S2F values often fluctuate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Instead, Wall offers up an alternative model to replace the S2F model so heavily cited across the crypto space. The replacement, in his opinion, should be the Bitcoin<\/a> “Rainbow Chart” from Reddit.<\/p>\n The chart dates back to 2014, making the chart’s creator \u2013 Reddit users \/u\/azop<\/a> \u2013\u00a0 a “real OG” in the Bitcoin community. azop had been posting the chart in the \/r\/BitcoinMarkets subreddit since then, updating the chart every so often simply to benefit the Bitcoin community, receiving no payment or incentive otherwise for keeping the chart active.<\/p>\nArcane Assets CIO Claims Stock-to-Flow Model Is Flawed, Math Invalidated<\/h2>\n
