Crypto Macro Risk Memo - Q1 2026

Bitcoin Letters (2020)

This report was written in early 2020, during a period when Bitcoin’s price action was still largely driven by retail and before Bitcoin began to be evaluated seriously within institutional portfolio frameworks. Rather than attempting to forecast short-term price action, this report focused on understanding Bitcoin from a risk-management perspective, emphasizing diminishing returns, volatility compression, and changes in market structure across different phases of the market.

Ethereum Letters (2020)

Ethereum Letters was written in early 2020, when Ethereum’s market role, economic design, and long-term relevance were still highly uncertain. Ethereum had a shorter trading history than Bitcoin, greater narrative dispersion, and significantly higher volatility. The objective of this report was not to make strong directional claims, but to examine whether a risk-aware, macro-style framework could be applied to an asset with more complex and changing drivers.
