May 2020: Paul Tudor Jones calls Bitcoin the fastest horse in the race. Bitcoin goes from ~$9K to $60K+.
.@JasonYanowitz thinks Druckenmiller backing Trade XYZ is that moment for onchain markets.
I still remember the day Paul Tudor Jones came out and called Bitcoin the fastest horse in the race.
It was May 2020. Bitcoin was at $9k. That moment changed everything for Bitcoin.
PTJ's public call forever eliminated the career risk for hedge funds to buy BTC.
Bitcoin went on to 10x over the next year.
Druck investing in trade xyz is that moment for all of onchain capital markets.
The career risk for all funds to participate in onchain capital markets is now zero. "If druck is doing it, I can too"
I wouldn't be surprised to see onchain market volume 10x from here.
