Vitalik Buterin criticized PlanB's Stock-to-Flow model

Stock-to-flow is really not looking good now.

I know it's impolite to gloat and all that, but I think financial models that give people a false sense of certainty and predestination that number-will-go-up are harmful and deserve all the mockery they get. https://t.co/hOzHjVb1oq pic.twitter.com/glMKQDfSbU

#bitcoin S2F original 2019 model (grey) and newest fit on most recent data (white dots). S2F model certainly had a good run from Mar2019 (BTC 4K) to Mar2022 (BTC 45K). For now: either BTC is extremely undervalued and will bounce back soon, or S2F will be less useful in the future pic.twitter.com/JdnLINpzTV

PlanB reacted to Buterin's criticism with restraint. He said that after the crash, many are “finding scapegoats for their failed projects or bad investment decisions.” And that includes leaders, he added.

After a crash aome people are looking for scapegoats for their failed projects or wrong investment decisions. Not only newbies but als "leaders" fall victim to blaming others and playing the victim. Remember those who blame others and those who stand strong after a crash. https://t.co/4nJdHq84pm

< p> Subsequently, PlanB presented a graph of five different models for predicting the price of bitcoin. According to the illustration, the most accurate picture is given by estimates based on the complexity and cost of mining the first cryptocurrency. S2F, on the other hand, offers an overly optimistic view.

Prediction is hard, especially the future. EMH even says predicting financial markets is impossible. For who is still interested in models, here are 5 BTC valuation models:
– Time (log regression, rainbow) and S2F too high
– UTXO/TX too low
– Difficulty/Mining_cost currently best pic.twitter.com/9FYCbWmbp7

Recall that in November 2021, Huobi analysts called the Stock-to- Flow is untenable.
