- A new Bitcoin model suggests long-term investors should focus less on timing purchases and more on holding, as power-law trajectory drives returns.
- Global liquidity is at $113 trillion, supporting risk assets like Bitcoin and implying a fair value of $170,000.
- Analysts believe Bitcoin is undervalued relative to liquidity trends, offering long-term upside potential despite possible short-term drops.
A new Bitcoin model indicates that long-term investors in BTC may be excessively worried about the timing of their purchases. The 10-year simulation demonstrates that investors can achieve good returns almost irrespective of their entry point, provided they follow the HODL strategy. The model, developed by BTC researcher Sminston With, is based on a fictional scenario where the investor invests $100,000 at once and takes out 10% of their holdings every year.
Entry Point May Not Be That Important
The simulated paths are, for the most part, profitable, and even the “unluckiest” path yields as much as 3x of the remaining holdings after a decade of continuous withdrawals. The experiment, through the model, considered three different entry points.
One is purchasing at $94,000, purchasing at a price 20% lower, or purchasing at a price 20% higher. The main point of the story is that while timing can improve the rate of return, it is still the power-law trajectory that does most of the work over the long run.

Global Liquidity Raises Risk Appetite
The macroeconomic perspective, that is, the use of the new lens, adds more supporting arguments to the simulation’s long-term optimism. As estimated, global liquidity stands at a staggering $113 trillion, thus showing much more relaxed financial conditions than in the last cycle.
This allows risk assets, among them Bitcoin, to benefit because of increased credit availability and investor optimism.

Bitcoin Being Undervalued Relative to Liquidity Trends
The analysts are paying attention to an unusual situation of disconnection between Bitcoin and global liquidity. The shortage of liquidity for BTC has just gone down to a loss of 1.52 standard deviations, a level that is hardly ever seen in a bull market.
In other words, the cryptocurrency is not overheating, instead, it is undervalued compared to the macro environment, and the fair value is roughly around $170,000.

Long-Term Upside Potential
There is still a possibility that Bitcoin may drop a little in the near term, but such deviations have in the past signaled the potential for a long-term upside at least. According to Sminston With, “Don’t worry a lot about the entry point, time should do the heavy lifting.”
Therefore, with global liquidity cheering for risk assets and Bitcoin maintaining its power-law trajectory, the coming days are bright for long-term holders.
