Bitcoin: The 9 Inning Game

4 min readNov 4, 2018

In my view — Bitcoin is a 9 inning game. Currently we are in the 3rd inning. This is how it is being evolved.

Inning #1: The Moon Phase into the Futures — 2017

Bitcoin Run 2K to 20K — This was not an organic rally. It was a manifactured pump with much bigger long term goal.

Since 2015 Gold’s “descent” & Bitcoin’s “ascent” is considered a “normal” event. I do not think it was. As of now, very few people agree that Bitcoin’s moon rally to 20k was a “manufactured” event.

Inning #2: The CRASH after the Futures — 2018

$20k to 3k crash. No one believed this will happen, but IT DID!! I view this as the 2nd inning.

This is how it was carried out:
Cartel Strike #1 and #2
Cartel Strike #3
50% Flash-Crash $6,500 to $3,200

Inning #3: Fractional Reserve Bitcoin

If I am right: This is going to be the longest inning - Few Years.
There will be MANY RALLIES in this inning.
The goal here is to increase the Bitcoin supply & the volume on the futures market (FR, Commingling, Rehypo & Derivatives)
Expected Outcome is worst than the Crash phase = Disillusioned masses that start hating the asset itself (look at Gold)

Please read following posts to understand why I believe “Bitcoin supply will increase”

Innings #4 to #8

Many possibilities here. It is too early to talk on this. Depending on when “They” lose control we may go to inning #9 straight away.

Inning #9: Bitcoin, Gold, Silver Moons

— The Game ends when “They” lose control over the Markets.
— The collapse is slow first, then sudden.
— The Fractional Reserve (Paper supply Ponzi) ends.
— Bitcoin, Gold, Silver moons.

Be warned this phase may also include societal collapse. Look at Venezuela — Gold and Bitcoin have mooned. Are people happy about that? Probably not. Both the assets have worked as an insurance.

Genesis of the 9 inning game theory

I would point out 2 examples from the recent History.
— Gaddafi lost his life & country for trying to create Gold-Backed Currency.
— Saddam lost his life & country for trying to back Oil with Euro.

Same applies to Bitcoin. Unfortunately, there is no CEO-of-Bitcoin who can be killed to destroy Bitcoin, therefore, REST ASSURED, there will be efforts to keep the Bitcoin pinned down. This is the genesis of 9 inning game theory. Current Inning #3 (Fractional Reserve Bitcoin) is the Key phase of this game.
