4. Institutional Adoption and Supply Dynamics

A significant portion of the discussion centers on Bitcoin’s supply constraints and institutional demand:

• Supply Shock Indicators: "Less than 15% of the Bitcoin left on the crypto exchanges signals a supply problem. We’re discussing the mother of all supply shocks." ([15:55])
