Bitcoin: An Improved Social Risk Metric

As of March 27, Bitcoin trades at approximately $66,000, with analysts anticipating a period of weakness as April approaches. The newly developed social risk metric reveals a significant decline in social interest for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies since 2021, evidenced by a drop in YouTube views for crypto channels from millions to around 500,000 daily. This waning interest correlates with Bitcoin's decreasing valuation against gold, indicating that the lack of engagement may hinder a shift towards higher-risk assets.

Key Points

As of March 27, Bitcoin is trading around $66,000, with expectations of a window of weakness going into April.

The newly improved social risk metric indicates a general downtrend in social interest for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies since 2021, with YouTube views for crypto channels dropping from 3-4 million daily in 2021 to around 500,000 currently.

Bitcoin's valuation against gold has been trending down since late 2024, suggesting that the lack of social interest is a key factor in the absence of a major rotation into higher risk assets.
