Make no mistake, Bitcoin is deeply antifragile – perhaps its single most attractive characteristic. I liken Bitcoin to an X-Man toddler. Yeah you can push on it right now and it will tump over. And you can even kick it in the head while its tumped over. But it will be fine. It will get back up, no worse for wear. And when it grows up, it is going to kick your ass.

To that end, we are well on our way to new ATHs for BTC after a truly spectacular Q2-19 - the fourth best quarterly performance since 2012. In our Monthly Update letter that went out June 1st we said, “last month we stated that new all-time highs were well within reach for 2020. We now believe that may have proven too conservative, and there is a meaningful chance new ATHs are possible in 2019, and likely in 2020”.

BTC volumes on reputable exchanges, likely the most accurate measurement of volumes in the space as whole, increased M/M. The trailing 7-day avg volume at the end of February was ~23% higher than the end of January. This is encouraging, and a continuation of these increased volumes with flat-to-up prices would be a sign we may have seen the bottom.
