PlanB’s S2F mannequin posits that shortage and worth have a direct relationship with shortage being a measure of inventory circulate (SF). The evaluation additionally takes into consideration vital parameters like Bitcoin block reward halving which happens each 4 years till all 21 million BTC are mined.
