Tuur Demeester, who describes himself as an “out-of-the-box” approach to macroeconomic analysis, has brought his insights into the unprecedented potential of Bitcoin that institutions are seeking (2021 In addition, Demeester’s bitcoin alpha fund Adamant Capital was sold to Blockstream, where he is now an advisor) as well as individuals (Demeester’s 3rd “Best Bitcoin Twitter Accounts to Follow” by social media analyst Hive.One).
Combining a deep study of historical patterns, an academically rigorous approach, and a willingness to embrace new innovations, Demeester’s outlook on how Bitcoin fits into the wider world has been consistent for over a decade. and foresight is noteworthy.
He first recommended BTC as an investment to newsletter readers in 2012. At that time, the price was $5. 2013 (and Bitcoin price around $100), he told Bitcoin Magazine:
“I think Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are the greatest investment opportunity of our time. Second, in contrast to traditional fiat currencies, Bitcoin was designed for the internet: it is open source, mobile, fast, and Third, as bankruptcies of both banks and governments are approaching in developed countries, Bitcoin, as a separate, non-confistable currency, will greatly benefit from subsequent capital flight. I think.”
As more people around the world realize Demeester is right about this nascent digital currency, his own views continue to grow. In his preface to Adamant’s groundbreaking research paper in 2019, he wrote, “Bitcoin reformDemeester argued that Bitcoin is more than just a new kind of currency, it represents a fundamental change that is almost unprecedented in history.
“In the past, we have drawn parallels between Bitcoin and the early oil industry, the search engine wars, the domain name market, the growth of P2P file sharing, and Internet protocols,” he explained. “However, I felt that I had fundamentally failed to grasp the scale of the era in which Bitcoin would act as a catalyst. I didn’t feel it.”
Demeester continues to develop one of Bitcoin’s most popular perspectives and is now preparing to share it at the Bitcoin 2023 event in Miami.
“I have a new report”How to Position a Bitcoin Boom“I’m delighted to be able to speak to you in Miami about this,” he told Bitcoin Magazine in an interview about the event. In general, my aim has always been to encourage people to think for themselves by providing great source information and perspectives that they may not have thought of before.”
Of course, today’s global macroeconomic climate produces a lot of compelling bitcoin content at our largest annual event dedicated to showcasing it. And this year is the year that some of his Demeester’s early insights on Bitcoin come to fruition.
“It’s difficult to predict in the very short term, but my view for 2023 is that we will see a return to quantitative easing, and so we will see another spike in inflation, especially in rising commodity prices.” We are very bullish for Bitcoin as the coin is one of the few true inflation hedges.”
The event will also be an opportunity to reflect on the advancements Bitcoin is making as a technology, independent of BTC’s value to fiat currency and its encroachment on legacy financial systems. With an outlook that has experienced numerous bearish and bullish cycles, Demeester is optimistic about how the current environment will yield more advanced and resilient Bitcoin projects.
“We know that in a bear market, developers, entrepreneurs, politicians, and other people involved with Bitcoin generally show little interest in any announcement, no matter how impressive it may be. ,” says Demeester. “We expect to see a huge amount of exciting announcements in 2023, but it is not yet possible to predict exactly where they will come from. We expect to see serious progress in the use of Bitcoin as a performance benchmark and in Bitcoin-backed mortgages.”
Finally, a veteran of Bitcoin events big and small in bear and bull markets, Demeester is looking forward to interacting with attendees at Bitcoin 2023. New people to lead that journey into the future.
“I’m looking forward to seeing friends I haven’t seen in a long time, and of course I’m looking forward to meeting new people,” concludes Demeester. “Bitcoin conferences like Bitcoin 2023 are a lot of fun because he brings together Bitcoin people from all over the world in one place.”
