Bitcoin Needs Network Capital Flow for Global Dominance, Analysts Say
Bitcoin's potential to absorb global capital is hampered by technical constraints. Analyst BRITISH HODL argues that BTC can significantly change global capital allocation, but its full potential won't be realized unless mechanisms are developed to move and utilize capital directly on its network.
Key Points:
- BTC aims to absorb global capital but requires redirection onto the BTC network to achieve this.
- Capital will gravitate towards high-quality equities as risk sensitivity increases.
- This trend aligns with the dominance of select stocks like the "Magnificent Seven" over decades.
- BTC offers a transparent standard for risk-free returns, raising the risk hurdle rate.
- Poor-quality assets become less attractive, prompting market cleaning and innovation.
- Companies must outperform BTC on a risk-adjusted basis to attract capital.
The Growing View Of Bitcoin As An Alternative Money
Billionaire investor Ray Dalio recognizes Bitcoin's growing influence but notes fundamental flaws preventing its adoption by nation-states.

- He emphasizes the importance of a currency being both a medium of exchange and a store of wealth.
- Dalio doubts central banks will adopt BTC as a reserve currency due to privacy concerns.
- Public transactions and potential government controls could limit BTC's effectiveness.
- Dalio holds some BTC in his portfolio, though not a significant amount.
