  • One thesis that I have been advocating for quite some time is that Asia is smart money of the Bitcoin ecosystem, but 2023 called that thesis into question.
  • Asia has been buying bitcoins for many years when prices were suppressed, especially in May 2021 (China ban) and May 2022 (Luna collapse).
  • Asia also unloaded Bitcoin during the peak of the 2021 bull run (January and November), while the West was a net buyer.
  • Bitcoin has great value in 2023 as a buyer; in terms of market and realized cap absorption.
  • Asia was a net seller in 2023; therefore I think the thesis is questionable.
