ARK's Bitcoin Price Forecasting Methodology | The Brainstorm EP 86

In this episode, Sam Korus, Nick Grous, and David Puell delve into the methodology behind Bitcoin's price forecast for 2030. They explore the total addressable markets for Bitcoin, focusing on its use cases as “digital gold” and institutional investment. The conversation also touches on the evolving narrative of Bitcoin, particularly in light of recent ETF launches, and the implications for corporate treasuries. Additionally, they discuss the concept of 'liveliness' in Bitcoin's supply and how it affects price forecasts, concluding with insights on the dynamics of active versus dormant Bitcoin supply.
