To: "jeevacation®gmail.com" leevacation@gmail.corn> Bitcoin: a new liquid market? Is bitcoin a currency? A commodity? Neither? A proper store of value like the EUR, T-bills, or gold is measured by 3 factors: safety, liquidity, and return. Diversification is a plus. Bitcoin remains very volatile. But it has experienced a surge in liquidity in the last six months, surpassing $2bn a day. Moreover, bitcoin is uncorrelated to any financial asset, commodity, or currency we study in this note. The fiipside of extreme diversification is that there is no way to explain let alone predict returns. Could bitcoin see a virtuous cycle of increased liquidity, lower volatility, attractive returns, and wider acceptance? Possibly, if regulated financial institutions move to allow bitcoin as pledgeable collateral. However, large inherent risks to digital tokens such as fraud, hacking, theft, new protocol adoption, limited acceptance, and that it is not legal tender many places in the world make it an unlikely development.
