American
nations with low

Slide 6
Blockchain and bitcoin growing faster outside the US
Bitcoin and blockchain are attractive
outside the US because of the inherent
structures of those regions.
• Regions with unstable financial
systems or governance make
bitcoin more attractive.
• Regions with currency controls
or strict regulations.
• Regions with uncertain economic
or financial outlook.
• Hence, we see bitcoin and
blockchain adoption as a global
story.
Slide 7
Earlier in 2016, Facebook IQ,
a team of researchers,
scientists and analysts funded
and supported by Facebook
Inc., published a white paper
entitled “Millennials +
money: The unfiltered
journey” to evaluate the
beliefs and thoughts of
today’s youth on traditional
banking and financial
systems. The paper found
that 92 percent
of millennials firmly
expressed their distrust of
banks.

We believe the prime market for homebuyers is age 25-45 and as shown below, this cohort size seems to explain housing cycles.
• If precedent generations are a template, housing starts should rise through 2029 towards 2.5 million starts.

Of the 96 million millennials, about 30 million are just entering their prime income years.
• Thus, the key question from an investment perspective is how the millennials will impact the investment market in

Finance 101 books 30-yrs ago not true anymore… will evolve for crypto…
Figure: Comparative changes in approach to valuations
Fundstrat estimates.
We believe crypto and blockchain valuations will lead to an evolution in thinking about market valuations for tokens.
While these are not traditional equities, there are elements available to create a valuation approach.
• Investors seem to be dismissive of the value of tokens, because of the apparent blurriness of token
governance versus equity (like a tracking stock) and the unclear position within a capital structure.
• But as highlighted below, while fundamental valuation remains central to any approach, markets have evolved
their approach to valuations of assets.

Store of Value Digital Currency Utility Security tokens
Purpose Digital Gold Currency Pay for services Fractional exposure
A store of value is the function
of an asset that can be saved,
retrieved and useful when
retrieved. More generally, a
store of value is anything that
retains purchasing power into
the future.
Digital currencies use
encryption to regulate the
generation of units of currency
and verify the transfer of funds,
independently of a central
bank.
The utility tokens are services
or units of services that can be
purchased, similar to API keys,
used to access the service.
These fund projects of shared
infrastructure.
Tokens are representing shares
of a business. The SEC
considers these a security and
fall under the 1934 Security
Exchange Act.

High-net worth families allocate $1.6T to Art…
Per PrivateInvestor.com
Art cannot be compared to
traditional assets such as equities,
bonds or even commodities. The
access to information is restricted
for the layman, liquidity is often
constrained, holding costs are
comparatively high and even
through there are techniques to
analyze the market, the value of an
artwork is ultimately driven by a
large variety of parameters, part of
those being extremely difficult to
predict.
If family offices own
about 10%-15% of all
collectible art, this
implies that the
aggregate value of Art
as a store of value is
$11 to $17 Trillion.

Flat
Flat
We have shown the price performance of art from 1875 to today, concatenating the Mei Moses art index (acquired by
Sotheby’s) with a more modern series developed by artprice.com.
• While there was a period of tremendous appreciation from 1950 to 1987, Art since then, has performed a lot
less spectacularly—in fact, in the past 20 years, the CAGR was 3%. Art storage has high maintenance cost
(see prior page) and there is also survivorship bias (does not track destroyed art)—hence, future durability of
Art as a store of value to outperform the last 20-years is not clear.

Figure: Key variables in valuing Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
$ trillions, except bitcoin value
Framework for bitcoin: ~$125,000 per unit by 2022
We have created a framework for valuing bitcoin, based on the assumptions outlined below:
• In short, we looked at the projected growth of money supply (M0) and a forecast for the ratio of the
alternative currencies to M0 (gold historically is the bulk of this value). And then allocated a share to bitcoin.
Under this forecast, we see bitcoin rising to $125,000 by 2022.

Figure: Alt-coins surged since December
Based on the liquid universe of alt-coins. 57 in 2014. 250 in 2015. 400 in 2016. >700 in 2017.
2017 was an exceptionally good year for alt-tokens and 2018 so far…
Below we have calculated the percentage of alt-tokens that have risen by at least 200% in the past 90-days—and since
2014, this has been a surprisingly cyclical series.
• In 2015 and 2016, the peak of the alt-coin rallies was 28% of tokens rising 200% in a rolling 3M period. In 2017,
this figure peaked at 81% in mid-2017 and in early-2018, this is hovering at 78% and approaching the 2017
highs.
• Not surprisingly, when alt-coins are selling off, this is bullish for bitcoin/ETH.

calculated by using the volatility of daily returns
on up days minus the volatility of daily returns
on down days over the past 90 days.

Bitcoin correlation to other asset
classes is declining and continues
to be negatively correlated to
Gold—not surprising and
evidence of cannibalization of
demand for gold.
Even looking at the top 10 tokens
(which includes bitcoin), the
correlation to other asset classes
is quite low.
When looking at rolling correlations of Bitcoin to other asset classes, the correlation is still low.

ENHANCED PORTFOLIO RETURN: Crypto adds return, boosts Sharpe-ratio
Slide 46
To illustrate the positive effects from adding Crypto currencies to a portfolio, consider the performance of various
portfolios below.
• By adding even 2% to the portfolio (funded by reducing equities by 200bp), 3-yr annualized gains rise 226bp.
Pushing this to 5% increases total return by 547bp, nearly doubling the return of a typical stock/bond blend.

We believe crypto and blockchain valuations will lead to an evolution in thinking about market valuations for tokens. While these are not traditional equities, there are elements available to create a valuation approach. • Investors seem to be dismissive of the value of tokens, because of the apparent blurriness of token governance versus equity (like a tracking stock) and the unclear position within a capital structure. • But as highlighted below, while fundamental valuation remains central to any approach, markets have evolved their approach to valuations of assets. https://site.warrington.ufl.edu/ritter/files/2018/01/IPOs2017Statistics-1.pdf https://www.toptal.com/finance/private-equity-consultants/private-equity-industry

The access to information is restricted for the layman, liquidity is often constrained, holding costs are comparatively high and even through there are techniques to analyze the market, the value of an artwork is ultimately driven by a large variety of parameters, part of those being extremely difficult to predict. If family offices own about 10%-15% of all collectible art, this implies that the aggregate value of Art as a store of value is $11 to $17 Trillion. http://www.privateartinvestor.com/art-business/art-collecting-as-a-means-to-store-value/ https://www2.deloitte.com/lu/en/pages/art-finance/articles/art-finance-report.html Figure: Estimated Family Office allocation to Art From Deloitte Art Report 2017

From 2002 to now is Artprice.com. 100=1875 Source: Fundstrat, Bloomberg Art has essentially been flat past 20-years… Flat Flat We have shown the price performance of art from 1875 to today, concatenating the Mei Moses art index (acquired by Sotheby’s) with a more modern series developed by artprice.com. • While there was a period of tremendous appreciation from 1950 to 1987, Art since then, has performed a lot less spectacularly—in fact, in the past 20 years, the CAGR was 3%. Art storage has high maintenance cost (see prior page) and there is also survivorship bias (does not track destroyed art)—hence, future durability of Art as a store of value to outperform the last 20-years is not clear.

Slide 37 Figure: Key variables in valuing Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies $ trillions, except bitcoin value Framework for bitcoin: ~$125,000 per unit by 2022 We have created a framework for valuing bitcoin, based on the assumptions outlined below: • In short, we looked at the projected growth of money supply (M0) and a forecast for the ratio of the alternative currencies to M0 (gold historically is the bulk of this value). And then allocated a share to bitcoin. Under this forecast, we see bitcoin rising to $125,000 by 2022.

In 2017, this figure peaked at 81% in mid-2017 and in early-2018, this is hovering at 78% and approaching the 2017 highs. • Not surprisingly, when alt-coins are selling off, this is bullish for bitcoin/ETH.
