Bitcoin MagazineSaifedean Ammous: The Bond Crisis & Bitcoin’s Rise as a True Macro AssetBitcoin’s volatility is falling, and Saifedean Ammous calls that the most bullish development in Bitcoin right now. Bear-market drawdowns have shrunk from roughly 87% to 77% to about 54% this cycle, which moves Bitcoin closer to an investable asset for money managers.
