@ 0:12To Exchange (Inflow)
Sender = non-exchange, recipient = labeled exchange. BTC arriving at a venue where it can be sold or traded. Sustained inflows historically correlate with selling pressure but timing varies (deposits precede sales by hours-days).
@ 0:19Cold Wallet
A wallet whose private keys are kept offline (hardware device, air-gapped machine, paper). Used by exchanges and institutions to secure majority of holdings — moves are rare and pre-signed, making outflows from cold a strong custody signal.
@ 0:23Strategy returns minus benchmark returns (e.g. SPY for stocks, BTC HODL for crypto). Positive alpha = strategy beat the passive baseline. Negative = holding would have done better. Most active strategies show 0 or negative alpha after fees.
@ 0:37Spot
The market for immediate delivery of an asset at the current price. Opposite of "futures" (where you trade a contract for future delivery) or "perpetuals" (perpetual-futures with funding rates). When we say "BTC price" without qualifier we mean spot.
@ 0:40Transactions of 500 BTC or larger but below the Mega Whale threshold (1,000 BTC). Common for large traders, OTC desks, exchange operations, and treasury management. Most actionable tier for daily flow analysis.
