Research: Bitcoin Cost Basis metric indicates short-term holder capitulation

2022-10-1 18:00

The Bitcoin: Cost Basis metric, also known as the realized price, is split into the long-term holder (LTH) and short-term holder (STH) cohorts.

Cost basis refers to the accumulated fair market value of the cryptocurrency token acquired, plus the profits at the time sold. It is generally used to calculate tax liability by determining whether a profit or loss was made during the holding period.

LTHs are defined as tokens held for longer than 155 days, and STHs as tokens held for 154 days and below.

Bitcoin: Cost Basis metric

Analysts use the LTH/STH ratio to determine bull and bear cycles, thus market bottoms and tops. When the ratio is:

Uptrending: STHs realize losses at a greater rate compared to LTHs. This situation is associated with bear market accumulation. Downtrending: LTHs are spending tokens and transferring them to STHs. This generally occurs during bull market distribution. Trading > 1.0: The cost basis for LTHs is higher than that of STHs, typifying the late stages of bear market capitulation.

Historically, when the ratio is less than 1, a market bottom has been reached. Currently, this is the case as the STH realized price is starting to dip below the LTH realized price, signifying a period of loss of faith by short-term holders.

However, market bottoms can span many months before an uptrend in price is reflected. This situation has occurred on only three other occasions in the past.

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.
