The Best Country Songs Of All Time—Ranked - The Delite

who is the greatest gambler of all time - win

A probably good tier list for both F2P, whales, dolphins, and in-between.

I made a tier list based off this post: https://www.reddit.com/Genshin_Impact/comments/l0ac0x/i_hate_tier_lists_but_understand_their_usefulness/
It's a long tier list for the 1.3 update, but I hope it's useful for some of y'all. I assessed the constellation powers of each character based off late-game content and left some additional info below each character's assessment.
SS-Tier being the highest score and C-tier being the lowest.
The order of the weapons and artifact sets are not in any particular tiered order. F2P weapons will always be first in recommendation followed by whatever else fits in the character's build.
Just a disclaimer: tier lists will always be flawed, especially when there are so many opinions and information to go off from. Micromanaging a tier list can be very tedious, it's tough to set an evaluation for a character when you have to compare them to another 20 to see if the tier is valid. So if there's any issues with their tiers, feel free to share your opinion - I'm always keen to re-edit. This was just originally a small fun thing I did after seeing some tier lists online, so I apologise in advanced if any characters aren't in your preferred tier.
I'll be updating this every now and then until the end of 1.3.
Terminology:
DPS: Damage dealer or damage-per-second
Elemental Burst: Ultimate, Q ability, that one big move icon on the screen that requires energy
Elemental skill: Your E ability or that smaller move icon on the screen.
4P or 2P: Four-piece artifact / Two-piece artifact
F2P: Free to Play players, F2P weapon recommendation is listed first.
Cleanse: Removes elemental debuff from ally/allies with their own elemental application. eg. Bennett's burst which applies pyro on yourself and teammates or Diona's shield which applies cryo on self when cast.
Main DPS: The carry who is on the field most of the time and uses supports from the team to dish out damage. All main DPS are viable if you put in enough commitment.
Detonator: Damage dealers who have a high damage output in a short period of time. Previously labelled "Burst" but was changed to a more less confusing label to encompass overall burst damage and elemental bursts. Transformative bursts like Xiao, Razor, and Noelle are not included because of their kits.
Enabler: The support that allows the damage dealers to maximise their damage. This role utilises their kit by buffing, applying extra damage and crowd control, and setting up elemental reactions for overall team damage output potential.
Battery: The energy recharger of the team. Creates energy for the main DPS and supports.
Utility: A broad category that includes healing, cleansing, debuffing, taunting, buffing, and shielding.
Sub DPS: Includes all the battery characters, detonators, and enablers
Support: Includes all the utility characters
S / A: Borderline S-tier and A-tier

- Pyro Ganyu
- Decent pyro application but gets a huge boost in potential damage at C2 with her deployable bunny.
- Low energy burst but the utility of her burst is lackluster compared to other 4 star pyros since it does only damage and constant pyro application for a short period of time until you reach C6. Her deployable elemental skill does, however provide taunt and a considerable amount of energy for her teammates and this enabling and battery potential doubles at C4.
- At C1, her physical damage potential is possible with aim-shot cancelling - similar to Fischl. Very high skill ceiling, but her arrows can hit enemy weak points if you master this approach.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Prototype Crescent (F2P), Amos Bow, Blackcliff Bow, Sharpshooter with 4P Wanderer's Troupe if charged attack DPS. 2P Crimson Witch + 2P Noblesse / Gladiator / Wanderer's will also work for more flexible builds. Skyward Harp, The Stringless if C2/C4+ with 4P Crimson Witch of Flames. Compound Bow, Amos Bow, Skyward Harp if C1 physical build with 2P Gladiator's Finale/ 2P Bloodstained Chilvalry
Sub DPS: Favonius Warbow (F2P), The Stringless, Skyward Harp with 2P Crimson Witch of Flames + 2P Noblesse Oblige or 4P Noblesse if you want to use her for her burst or if you want to capitalise on her C6. 4P Crimson Witch of Flames if C2+ and detonator.

- 5 Star Husbando
- A great physical DMG DPS considering that he has the highest sword-held basic attack multipliers in the game. A staple for freeze, superconduct, and melt comps. Elemental skill has a relatively short cooldown, good battery, and long range.
- Deployable burst makes him an excellent cryo enabler and battery, however its true potential is locked behind C2. C6 increases his burst damage while also reducing the energy requirement for his burst.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Prototype Rancour (F2P), Aquila Favonia, The Black Sword, Primodial Jade Cutter, Blackcliff Longsword with 2P Gladiator + 2P Bloodstained Chivalry for flexible physical damage. 4P Blizzard Strayer for freeze comp and additional critical damage.
Sub DPS: Any recharge weapon, Festering Desire (F2P) with 2P Blizzard Strayer + 2P Noblesse / Bloodstained / Gladiator's / Wanderer's or 4P Wanderer's Troupe.

- Strong ara ara energy
- Slow energy recharge and odd play style, her elemental skill cooldown and charge is too long to be capitalised with and also leaves her vulnerable.
- High burst cost for decent damage, second ascension talent allows her burst to reduce enemy DEF. Would be ranked higher in the tiers if her burst didn't push enemies away and had a lower energy cost. Her true potential unlocks at C6 as a detonator as she applies conductive status on surrounding enemies when she switches onto the field. This allows for high electro damage potential with her elemental skill in a small window of time.

- Pancake rock maid, literal definition of "one man army".
- Her giant sword knows no limits, except her constellations. C6 increases her damage by a considerable amount and solidifies DEF as her main stat while also increasing the duration of her burst.
- Can't regenerate energy well, but her excellent shield and decent heals make up for that as a support. With her low energy recharge and relatively high energy burst, she requires a team built around her to enable her DPS potential to the fullest.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Whiteblind or Archaic Petra (F2P) Wolf's Gravestone, Skyward Pride, Serpent Spine with 4P Gladiator's Finale or 4P Retracing Bolide
Support: Whiteblind (F2P) or any recharge weapon with 4P Retracing Bolide or 2P Maiden's Beloved + 2P Defender's. 2P Retracing Bolide's effect doesn't carry its buff to other allies.

- Electro Chunnibyo
- Best electro support in the game at C6, her burst resets the cooldown of Oz. Oz can constantly apply electro on the enemy and allow for many main DPS' to shine. Her second ascension talent is an excellent quirk for potential damage. A staple in electro-charged comps.
- An extremely flexible 4 star unit, can be either a physical main DPS or electro support.
- Her physical damage potential can reach higher with aim-shot cancelling. Very high skill ceiling, but her arrows can hit enemy weak points if you master this approach.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Compound Bow (F2P), Skyward Harp, Rust, Amos Bow, Viridescent Hunt with 2P Gladiator's Finale + 2P Bloodstained Chivalry or 2P Thundering Fury + 2P Gladiator's / Bloodstained
Sub DPS: Favonius Warbow or Prototype Crescent (F2P), Skyward Harp, The Stringless with 2P Thundering Fury + 2P Gladiator's Finale or 4P Thundersoother. 4P cooldown effect of Thundering Fury does not work unless she's on the field. Elemental mastery is weak with electro supports; Stringless being the only exception with its passive.

- Sadge 1.3 Barbara
- Has high healing output and can apply hydro on the enemy with her deployable elemental skill, albeit long cooldown - however, she has no decent support outside of heals except at C2 which gives additional hydro damage to allies with her E and C6 which allows her to ressurect a fallen ally.
- Her basic attacks have good multipliers in comparison to Mona, however the rest of her kit does not align well with the main DPS role.
Recommendations:

- Destroyer of slime condensates
- Best pyro application in the game with her deployable elemental skill and elemental burst. A staple in melt and vaporise comps and excellent support for a pyro main DPS at C1 and C6. Her second ascension talent drops chillis for additional attack damage.
- A very flexible unit with high attack ratios. Huge enabling potential spike at C4.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Crescent Pike (F2P), Primodial Jade, Skyward Spine, Deathmatch with 2P Gladiator's Finale + 2P Bloodstained Chivalry or 4P Crimson Witch of Flames
Sub DPS: Prototype Starglitter (F2P), Skyward Spine, Dragon's Bane, any recharge weapon with 2P Crimson Witch + 2P Gladiator's. 2P Crimson Witch + 2P Noblesse if C4. The 4P effect of Crimson Witch does not work if she's not on the field.

- More like hurricane tortilla
- Big knockback and crowd control with their elemental burst and skill; the con of knockback could be easily thwarted if played around with enough. Elemental burst and skill can be infused with other elements. Long elemental skill cooldown and leaves them vulnerable while charging.
- Being an anemo pushes them higher in the tier as a support with access to 4P Viridescent Veneer. Very large power spike at C6 with its additional shredding capabilities with their elemental burst. This could also allow for other builds other than 4P Viridescent Veneer.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Prototype Rancour, Festering Desire (F2P), Skyward Blade, Aquila Favonia with 4P Gladiator's Finale or 2P Viridescent + 2P Gladiator's

- Stepping stone and king of rock tumours
- Underrated damage potential. Big power spike at C2 and battery capabilities increased a lot at C4.
- Elemental skill has low cooldown and gives additional crit rate to allies and self at C1. Geo construct can be used to block enemy damage. Also an excellent battery for geo comps.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Prototype Rancour or Festering Desire (F2P), Skyward Blade, The Black Sword, Summit Shaper with 4P Gladiator's Finale or 2P Archaic Petra + 2P Gladiator's Finale
Sub DPS: Festering Desire (F2P), Harbinger of Dawn, any energy recharge weapon with 2P Archaic Petra + 2P Noblesse Oblige / Gladiator's or 4P Noblesse Oblige. 4P Archaic Petra for additional supporting capabilities.

C6 A/B SS A/S S S
- The alpha chad of 4 star supports
- Elemental burst increases team damage output through the roof and cleanses the team with pyro. Fastest healing tick rate in the game although hampered by a 70% max HP heal limit. Low investment cost since his burst only scales off his base ATK. Elemental skill has a short cooldown and its cooldown is reduced by half in his burst at second ascension talent, making him the GOAT of pyro batteries.
- Main DPS potential is very high without constellations when paired with Chongyun or Xingqiu for melt/vaporise comps. A one man army capable of carrying his own team by himself.
- Bennett's C6 is the only detrimental upgrade out of the lot in this list. The constellation changes all melee damage and cryo/electro infusions into pyro damage when you enter his field. While it may boost his own DPS potential and other pyro damage dealers with its additional pyro DMG bonus, it is not best paired with skills like Chongyun's cryo infusion and Keqing's electro infusion. He also loses main DPS potential when paired with Chongyun as he loses access to melt.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Festering Desire or Iron Sting (F2P), Skyward Blade, The Black Sword, Primodial Jade Cutter with 4P Crimson Witch of Flames

- The better Qiqi + actual furry, ew.
- Excellent support with her shielding, healing, and cleansing capabilities. Her cryo application is alright with her short cooldown elemental skill and her burst which deals continuous cryo damage. Her shield and burst cleanses elements very well.
- While C1 greatly increases her enabling output, her true potential is unlocked at C6, allowing her to give 200 elemental mastery to the team when her burst is out and increases her healing output to a great measurable amount.

- Xinyan mains WYA
- A very expensive 4 star unit, her initial value without constellations is low. Her true potential is unlocked at C2 with her burst giving a guaranteed crit-hit and allows her to recast her shield. C4 is highly recommended to increase her DPS potential.
- Mixed stats are an issue, she may seem like a pyro enabler at first glance but she's more of a physical damage enabler for characters like Razor. Her elemental skill has a long cooldown but it can increase physical damage, cleanse herself with pyro, omit consistent pyro damage (if level 3 shield), and shield her allies.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Snow-tombed Starsilver, Prototype Archaic (F2P), Wolf's Gravestone, Blackcliff Slasher, Skyward Pride, Serpent Spine, The Unforged with 2P Gladiator's Finale + 2P Bloodstained Chivalry or 4P Gladiator's Finale.

- Queen of Counters
- Although her supporting capabilities are locked behind a high energy costing burst, her elemental skill provides a lot of defensive and offensive options with her short cooldowns. At C6, her enabling potential increases by a lot with her elemental burst.
- Her main DPS potential is locked behind her heavy reliance on being able to counter enemy attacks. Enemy AI can be very random and forces Beidou's DPS at a lower tier than it should be. If her elemental skill could taunt to force enemies to hit her, she would most likely be in a higher tier.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Prototype Archaic, Snow-tombed Starsilver (F2P), Wolf's Gravestone, Rainslasher, Skyward Pride with 2P Gladiator's Finale + 2P Bloodstained Chivalry or 4P Gladiator's Finale or 4P Thundersoother

- Hydro swords go brrRR
- Best hydro support in the game, but heavily reliant on energy recharge to cope with his high costing burst. His initial value is great, but his damage and enabling potential goes through the roof at C2. His main DPS potential is also very underrated.
- Although his elemental skill has a long cooldown, it does provide damage reduction, decent hydro application, and a lot of energy.
Recommendations:
Sub DPS: Prototype Rancour or Iron Sting (F2P), Sacrificial Sword, Skyward Pride, any recharge weapon with 4P Noblesse Oblige or 2P Heart of Depth + 2P Noblesse Oblige. If at C6 Xingqiu, there's no need to invest in an energy recharge weapon - probably should just focus on energy recharge on your sands if need be.

- Electro furry bait
- Damage potential is almost comparable to a 5 star's potential. Elemental burst increases his attack speed to a very considerable amount and his character ascension stat allows for additional physical damage. Has in-built energy recharge in his kit to combat his 80 energy burst.
- His true damage potential is locked behind his first 4 constellations which increase his damage output, crit-rate, and decrease enemy DEF. While most of his damage is physical, his electro output is considerably alright.
- However, although his damage potential is high - he is a selfish DPS who needs to take up a lot of field time to maximise his damage. His team should utilise characters with deployables that match his kit such as Qiqi, Diona, Xinyan, and Xingqiu.

- Popsicle boy
- His true utility and enabling potential is locked behind C2 which allows his elemental skill to reduce the cooldowns of elemental skills and bursts cast in his field. Although his elemental skill can be both a blessing and a curse with his cryo infusion, it can also increase weapon attack speed and reduce the cryo resistance of enemies.
- While having the lowest basic attack ratios of all the claymore users, he makes up for it with his kit and constellations. Having a burst with high multipliers, especially at C6, pushes him slightly higher in the list considering the cooldowns and buffs he can give to himself and his teammates. Shorter burst cooldown window from 12 - 10.2 seconds at C2 makes him a very valid 4P Noblesse Oblige user. Currently, there is no 4P artifact set that suits his DPS potential but if a cryo set were to come out that could maximise his melt reaction damage, he would be casted higher in the tier list.

- Anemo wallflower, budget Venti
- Has the highest support ceiling in the game; scales very well late game with an elemental mastery packed build. Capable of crowd controlling enemies, anemo debuffing, and increasing the team's elemental mastery. Her support potential shines at C4 where she can easily obtain her elemental skill with her basic attacks allowing her kit to shine without worry of cooldown. Even with low investment, her support potential still stands out well when paired with Viridescent Veneer.
- Her main DPS potential is incredibly underrated. With her ascension stat being anemo damage and her being a catalyst anemo user, she can become an on-field carry with Fischl, Beidou, and Xingqiu behind her back dealing damage with deployables. C4 and C6 is recommended.

- Missile Launcher, Queen of GEO
- Excellent damage output, greatly increases her DPS potential with every passing constellation. Low energy requirement for burst and a catalyst user that can spam basic attacks. She unlocks her highest damage potential at C6, where her output alone is comparable to Diluc vaporise comps.
- Her damage ceiling stretches further as you learn to mitigate her basic attack animations with her animation-cancelling techniques.
- She is a capable niche support for geo teams being able to buff the team's geo damage with her deployable elemental skill. C2 also pushes her enabling, bursting, and battery potential by increasing her own damage output and provides additional energy to the team with its multiple elemental skill casts.

- CEO of GEO, he died for Geo's sins so they could rise again. The true covenant holder.
- Best shielder in the game, his utility support potential is now comparable to Bennett, Sucrose, and Venti with the new buffs. With his shield being capable of shredding all elemental and physical damage resistances and having 100% uptime potential, he has become viable in all comps and also validates Zhongli's potential as a main DPS. Second ascension talent and shield shred combined doubles his basic attack and elemental skill damage with additional HP% scaling.
- Deployable elemental skill does decent damage, but the energy recharge is random and its area of effect is relatively small. C4 greatly increases his enabling potential by extending the petrification status of enemies and the size of his burst. C6 expands his role as another healer, removing the need for an additional healing support in the team.

- Edgy anemo grasshopper, plunge attack spam is no joke
- With the highest base ATK and his transformative burst, his damage output is considered the highest in the game when considering other units and their solo output. With his burst time and talent passives assessed, his damage potential is slightly higher than Diluc's vaporise comp. However, his overall main DPS potential is limited by his element, lack of team synergy, high energy cost of his burst, and burst downtime. For optimal damage, he requires another anemo to battery his burst and some energy recharge built into his kit.
- C6 solidifies his position in the highest tier and changes his playstyle in accordance to his elemental skill.

- Who? I only know Childe.
- Although his damage output is hampered by the long cooldown on his elemental skill, his burst potential makes up for it with his elemental skill's passive: Riptide. Each Riptide has an individual elemental reaction proc and damage bursting potential, spreading to other enemies like the plague. Such reaction damage validates electro-charged comps. To maximise his damage potential, he is best paired with C6 Fischl oand C6 Beidou. At C6, his position in the highest tier is certified with the complete removal of his elemental skill cooldown.
- A very expensive unit to build around in comparison to other 5 stars.
- Heart of Depth is tailor-made to fit his playstyle.
- His enabling potential is greatly increased at C4. Riptide automatically triggers every 4 seconds his elemental skill lasts, greatly increasing his hydro application and damage.

- Cryo Bazooka
- The platinum standard for a 5 star character. Theoretically, she has the highest damage output in the game with a melt comp + 4P Wanderer's Troupe. However, being a charged aim shot damage dealer - her skill ceiling is higher than other main DPS'. Her charged attack and frostflake bloom damage is no joke when coupled with her ascension talents which give her additional crit-rate and bonus cryo damage when she's in the vicinity of her burst. Arguably, C1 is one of her best constellations as it reduces cryo resistance and gives her bonus energy.
- Her enabling potential is one of the best in the game, almost too good. When using her elemental burst to apply cryo on the enemy, her ice shards are usually the ones procc-ing the melt damage and not the main DPS. While being an occassional drawback for melt teams, her burst's overwhelming enabling potential with its almost 100% uptime potential is well suited for freeze comps. Her utility potential is greatly increased at C4 as her burst increases the amount of incoming damage enemies take in its field.

- Elevator boi
- A great battery with high enabling potential. His elemental skill lasts 30 seconds on the field and deals AOE geo damage in a wide radius with battery and damage potential being comparable to Fischl's Oz. Being a geo enabler, he also provides shields through crystallise and also increases the team's elemental mastery with his burst at second ascension talent.
- Mixed stats are usually an issue, but going full DEF build to maximise his elemental skill damage is very valid. C2 solidifies DEF as his main stat to build and greatly increases the amount of damage his burst deals. C4 and C6 allow a considerable increase to his utility capabilities with him being a niche pick for plunge attack teams and defensive teams utilising crystallise.

- Hu Tao's best mate, #buffqiqi
- Best healer in the game. However, there is no content in the game that requires the healing that Qiqi provides for her team. While being only a heal bot, she does provide some utility at C4 which allows her to reduce the attack damage of enemies and C6 which allows her to resurrect fallen allies. Although her elemental skill is deployable, the cryo application is slow and is hampered by a very long cooldown.
- Her damage output potential is limited by the large energy requirement of her burst and the lack of energy she creates from her elemental skill. Even though attack is her primary stat, her basic attack multipliers are very subpar in comparison to Kaeya. At C2, she gets a small boost in her basic attack damage output against enemies affected by cryo.

- Dandelion TIGHTS
- Jack of all trades, however master of one role. The flexibility of her unit makes her the platinum standard for supports alongside Venti, Zhongli, and Bennett. Being a healer, cleanser, crowd control check, an anemo debuffer, and a battery - she can fit into any team. With her second talent ascension reducing the amount of energy required for her burst, she's also a decent burst damage dealer. Her enabling potential is pushed higher at C2 where she gives the team additional movement and attack speed when she retrieves an energy orb.
- Her fall damage exploit is no joke. Her charged attack is unique in comparison to other sword users, allowing her to crowd control her enemies into the air and dealing a considerable amount of damage. She's also one of the only physical damage users who can use 4P Bloodstained Chivalry properly. Her main DPS potential is greatly increased at C1, where her short cooldown elemental skill gains additional damage and pulling strength. C4 also shreds anemo resistance off enemies by a considerable amount making her a high tier main DPS and S tier enabler.

- Terrorist, Destroyer of Worlds. Dynamite really does come in small packages.
- Her initial value is great as a main DPS, having access to a catalyst and area of effect pyro damage. Her damage ceiling increases as you learn to mitigate her basic attack animations with her animation-cancelling techniques. At C1, she gets a boost in damage potential with her attacks and skills randomly proc-ing additional pyro damage.
- With her deployable elemental skill and multiple charges, she can be an enabler for some vaporise and melt comps. Her enabling and utility potential increases with C2 which allows her to reduce enemy defence by a considerable lot with her elemental skill and C4 which turns her into a detonator when her elemental burst goes off. C6 gives additional energy and pyro damage to her teammates when she uses her burst.

- "Wow, you did 120K damage with your Childe? I can do 800K with my Mona"
- A staple in high DPS damage showcases. Her elemental burst is one of the best in the game - having the ability to multiply damage output by a great amount, crowd control mobs of enemies, apply hydro to a large AOE, and work well in tandem with elemental reaction comps. Not only that, she also receives energy recharge when she ascends, allowing her to spam her burst often. Her deployable elemental skill provides a taunt, a considerable amount of energy, and consistent hydro application, however it does have a long cooldown which hampers on her enabling potential. At C1, the elemental reaction damage output of her burst increases by a considerable amount.
- Her damage potential is considerably DPS friendly. Being a catalyst user, she can constantly apply area of effect hydro damage without being limited by her elemental skills. At C2, her damage potential spikes as she can randomly proc her charged attacks with her basic attack spam. C6 Mona also scales up the damage potential of her charged attack.

- Electro furry bait, Kekw-ing
- Her charged attack spam is the fastest in the game and deals a very high amount of damage in a short window of time. Gains crit damage as an ascension stat and additional crit rate + energy recharge when using her burst. Having a low energy cost with her burst, she has a very high uptime with her electro damage despite being a physical damage / electro damage hybrid.
- However, being an electro damage dealer does have it's limitations. Electro-related reaction damage doesn't have considerably high multipliers compared to amplification reactions like melt and vaporise. Electro-charged is the best contender for damage over time and should be paired with Xingqiu to maximise her potential.
- Damage output heavily reliant on stamina. Her charged attack energy cost is slightly higher than other sword users.
- C4 and C6 have the greatest impact on her potential damage, increasing her overall electro damage output.
Recommendations:
Main DPS: Prototype Rancour (F2P), Aquila Favonia, Skyward Blade, Summit Shaper, Primodial Jade Cutter, The Black Sword, Lion's Roar with 2P Thundering Fury + 2P Gladiator's Finale or 4P Thundersoother or 2P Gladiator's Finale + 2P Bloodstained Chivalry

- Sadge alocoholic, allergic to furries
- The first platinum standard support since the game's release. His burst is among the best in the game, being capable of absorbing other elements, crowd controlling mobs of enemies in a large radius, and dealing an incredible amount of damage. His enabling capabilities are also boosted by his ascension talents which reduce the energy cost of his 60 energy burst and his ascension stat which gives additional energy recharge. C2 allows for additional shred on top of Viridescent Veneer and C6 shreds on top of that shred.
- As a main DPS, he is best paired with Jean for anemo battery-ing each other. His elemental burst coupled with Stringless greatly increases his damage potential. All of his constellations increase his damage output by a considerable amount.

A break down of the bull case for Ethereum and how it relates to Bitcoin

There is a general understanding among ETH investors that the enhancements from ETH 2.0, EIP-1559 and L2 solutions will result in a sustainable monetary policy with near 0% issuance and the potential for Ether to become a deflationary asset. What is even more interesting is that the net return of ETH as a SoV becomes superior to BTC the moment that issuance is lower than the staking yield. In other words, even if BTC had already ceased issuance, it offers no mechanism to provide yield to long term holders with a negligible risk exposure as ETH does. There is an execution risk that Ethereum will not deliver on what is currently planned, but if it does then what I have explained will become a reality.
You cannot separate BTC/ETH's payment rails from their respective monetary policies. As you are probably aware, issuance is just a subsidy, and without it the network will need to operate as a profitable business with a cash-flow that is entirely dependent on network fees. We are observing a situation that is causing a degradation of the utility of the Bitcoin network. What I mean by that is that the incentive for users to transact directly on the network is being diminished because of the tokenization into ETH and by the introduction of custodians (like Paypal) and traditional banking services who will soon be entering this space. If these trends continue, I suspect that the only activity that will end-up happening on-chain will be done by whales sporadically transacting to hodle and the occasional settlement from institutions. Bitcoin seems fast and frictionless, but that is because you are comparing it to something in the physical world. In digital terms Bitcoin emulates the friction of operation that is found with gold: it is difficult and expensive to move it, securing it yourself is not trivial, and it does not make for a great medium of exchange. I don't think this will be a good dynamic to generate enough transaction fees. That is of course my subjective interpretation of it, but regarding this particular situation it is nearly impossible to make objective assertions at this point. It is possible to assert that, in the digital world, the expectation of frictionless money would entail near instant transactions with negligible cost and without the relative risk/paranoia of dealing with nuclear waste and having a hacker watching your every move waiting for you to make a mistake to snatch it away. Digital money would also need to interact with other digital assets, preferably defined and operated within the same ecosystem. Ethereum is steaming ahead on all ends.
Ethereum is fostering a digital economy (this is a very important part of understanding the value of Ethereum, but I will not be exploring it in this post) with DeFi at its center. It is currently generating about three times as much trx fee revenue as Bitcoin. L2 solutions are going live as we speak, and it appears that they will be much more practical and provide better UX when compared to the Lightning Network. This will help to amplify L1 block space value and push revenue even higher. That will be followed by EIP-1559, which will burn transaction fees. Mining is currently excessively profitable and the hash rate cannot keep up. This means the financial incentive can be reduced and by burning trx fees we achieve the equivalent of an issuance reduction, while stabilizing mining revenue. Eventually the transition to PoS will dramatically cut the operational cost of the network. That means that Ethereum as a business will become more profitable and less reliant on the issuance subsidy. Finally, we will see the introduction of sharding which will scale L1 by up to 1,000 times, compounding the effect of L2 solutions and making it feasible for the network to operate as a platform for new use cases. A solution to the hackenuclear waste security situation is being explored via social recovery wallets. It is still in the early stages of research and design, but it is important to realize that the Ethereum community recognizes it as a problem and is working on a solution.
There is a lot more that can be said about the BTC vs ETH debate and I am working on a full write up that explores each individual element in more detail. Regardless, it is important to pay attention to this trend: the smartest people in this space are shifting their point of view and realizing Ethereum's potential. Raoul Pal is a seasoned investor, extremely bright and open minded. He started with Bitcoin, but it did not take him long to understand the value proposition of Ethereum. Lyn Alden is a brilliant investor and mental powerhouse who initially did not think investing in Ethereum could be justified, but she is also starting to shift her view and now understands that it has a justifiable risk/reward ratio to be included in a portfolio (although she is not personally invested in Ethereum). She has plenty of negative things to say about it, however it appears that she recognizes this is not a black and white situation. I have a feeling she will be revising her analysis on Ethereum again in the future with a more optimist view, but maybe that is just wishful thinking.
The crypto space has a few analogies that have been used to describe technical/economic mechanisms that are somewhat tricky to understand: mining, Ethereum's gas, and the analogy between ether and oil. Crypto "mining" is not like real world mining. It's purpose is not to extract resources, but it is rather a decentralized mechanism to process transactions. Newly minted BTC tokens are not "mined", they are minted by the protocol and awarded to operators. Furthermore, it is impossible to change the total mining output of the network... adding/removing miners does not affect the mining output. If you are new to crypto, you can read a more detailed explanation of mining here. ETH's "gas" is not like fuel (it cannot even be stored). It is just a computational metric that is more akin to the distance a car must travel, but not what actually makes it move. The fuel is electricity and it must be paid for with ether. When you transact you are also paying for the "car" which is the use of all active mining hardware/validators for a fraction of a second. And ether is just money.
If you put too much weight on these simplified analogies, you will not understand the economic actuality behind them. This is a source confusion in the crypto space, and it is used to support false narratives. From an economic perspective, ether is money. Once you understand this, you will know that the narrative that BTC and ETH are not competing because they are different things is analogous to saying fax machines do not compete with the internet.
The beautiful thing about ether is that it is actually not "just money". It is a mixture of a scarce monetized commodity, money, bond and tech stock.

EDIT 1: Adding an analogy to explain why ether is money:
Let’s say I have a car with a 14-gallon fuel tank and I want to take it on a road trip. The car is not aware of the price of gasoline, and it would not travel any farther if the price of gas would double the next day. That’s because the intrinsic utility of oil has nothing to do with its monetary value. The car needs gas because of its particular physical properties and how the ICE is designed to utilize it. If I want to drive from point A to point B and it takes a full tank to get there, it will take that full tank no matter what happens to the monetary properties of gas/oil. This is fundamentally different from how Ethereum uses ether.
Ethereum (the network) is not trying to be money, but it utilizes ether exclusively for its monetary properties and not because it can be magically burned by an imaginary engine of sorts. It costs money to participate in the network as a miner, and their engagement is financially incentivized with ether. Block space is a scarce resource, therefore participants who wish to transact use ether to bid for it. These interactions are utilizing ether as a monetary medium of exchange. In the long run, as the price of ether goes up, the ether denomination of gas prices goes down. That happens because no one is using ether as gas/oil, and it is actually being used as money. In the short run you may see the opposite occurring because of the dynamic between the portion of block space demand that is inelastic and the demand for ether.
EDIT 2: Revisiting key concepts to explain how they will become price catalysts.
  1. Wide adoption of L2 solutions: these will amplify the base layer block space value while encouraging further network adoption by a significant reduction of fees. A successful integration with DeFi protocols will dismiss the "Ethereum killers" theory and consolidate market confidence.
  2. EIP-1559: reduce excessive financial incentives to miners by burning transaction fees. This will also discourage miners from attempting to artificially raise fees via spam.
  3. Sharding: scale L1 bandwidth, compounding the effect of L2 solutions, further consolidating Ethereum's dominance in the DeFi space, making it feasible to introduce new use cases and eventually increase trx fee revenue.
  4. The switch from PoW to PoS: discontinuing PoW will eliminate the operating costs related to mining and will allow for a reduction of issuance. Money that was previously allocated to buying mining equipment will be redirected to the acquisition of Ether. Staking Ether will remove it from circulation for extended periods of time. Operating cost will be negligible, allowing validators to withhold most of the Ether revenue. This will be the greatest bull market catalyst in the history of cryptocurrencies and it will eclipse the effect of BTC halvenings.
Bitcoin maximalists will be nay-saying all the way through and past a market cap flip. Do not get caught up in their narrative. If you are not sure, then it is better to rebalance your portfolio proportionally to market caps. If none of these things happen and Ethereum turns out to be a failure, then you would only have reduced your gains by 20%. Otherwise, ETH will be making you mountains of money.
EDIT 3: Ethereum killers
Ethereum killers remind me a lot of Tesla killers, but a lot worse. People need to understand that cryptocurrency platforms targeting financial Dapps are fighting the equivalent force of a black-hole when it comes to Ethereum’s network effect and user retention in this space.
Bigger players, with bigger money, are entering this market and they will not settle for anything other than the top dog. This pattern reinforces Ethereum's position as the premium financial system, which ends up attracting even bigger players and resulting in the black-hole effect. To make matters even more complicated, financial apps are more valuable when they are surrounded by a rich and diverse variety of digital assets and other natively defined Dapps. There is not much you can do with your money in a ghost town.
It is VERY difficult to build this type of environment up because the platform and dapps must also have established full trust from their user base. This is not to say there is no space for other networks to grow, but just don’t get your hopes high that they will be taking Ethereum’s stronghold as a financial system. There are other use cases that do not require the amount of decentralization and security offered by Ethereum, and the networks that can focus on these are the ones who will be able to coexist with in the long-run. Gaming, ERP interoperability and supply chain are good examples of such use cases. Remember that alternatives with cheap transactions have existed for a while and they have barely touched ETH's dominance (EOS, NEO, VET, QTUM, IOTA, LSK, STRAT, ARK and dare I say... TRON).
EDIT 4: Refuting critiques about dynamic monetary policy
If an argument can be made that the financial incentives to operators (miners/stakers) are excessive or insufficient then an argument can be for the implementation and execution of a dynamic monetary policy.
I don't think an arbitrarily picked issuance schedule determined during the genesis of a new highly complex system is likely to be efficient through its lifecycle. Bitcoin's monetary policy provides the certainty of stability and protection from abuse, but it sacrifices the possibility of efficiency and jeopardizes longevity. It would be like if a captain of a ship would point it in the direction of its final destination, set the throttle, then fall back to his cabin for a nice bottle of chianti and hope that the ship would arrive safely. There would be no one at the helm to navigate the seas, no one to make sure it stayed on route, no one to avoid the storms or to take advantage of currents. In my opinion it is a pretty bad approach to something as critical as monetary policy.
With respect to Ethereum's dynamic monetary policy: I don't see any evidence to suggest developers have been enriching their pockets by keeping issuance at the levels they are. Developers are stakeholders and the Ethereum fund holds a lot of ether - debasing ether is against their self interest. There is a great misunderstanding that the one's who are adjusting issuance are the recipients of the new tokens. Is there any documented case of this happening?
EDIT 5: Addressing Bitcoin's immutable monetary policy
The idea that Bitcoin's monetary policy cannot be changed is a myth. It is a false narrative that takes for granted that the issuance subsidy will no longer be necessary at some point, but there is no way to objectively assert this. There is no divine power preventing the monetary policy from being changed. If the security model for Bitcoin was jeopardized because of insufficient cash flow to miners, then Bitcoin's monetary policy would be the first thing on the chop board to go in order to remedy the situation.
EDIT 6: Five years ago naysayers were screaming about how everything that is being done TODAY in the Ethereum network would never work. Now they are calling Ethereum a scam, or that is is a platform for degenerate gamblers, or that the fees are too high and therefore it is useless, or that it can't scale, or that something else better is just around the corner to take its place.... you know... basically all the things that traditional bankers have to say about Bitcoin, maxis are saying about Ethereum.
EDIT 7: The greater the impact a new technology can have on society, the more difficult it is to comprehend its potential. Ethereum has the potential to have a dramatic impact on human civilization. It could take decades for it to be fully realized, but it would change the world in ways that we cannot possibly imagine today. If it happens, the moon will be just a pit-stop.
EDIT 8: Thank you so much for all the awards! Ethereans understand this stuff, and I could feel the frustration in the air every time someone said that Ethereum is not money, or that ETH and BTC are completely different things, or all the other bs attacks that are in great part founded on a lack of understanding of how BTC and ETH actually work. I would love to hear what guys like Raoul Pal, Pomp, Michael Saylor and Fernando Ulrich (for my Brazilian friends) would have to say about some of the things that have been written here. If you know a way to get their attention, then please do it.
EDIT 9: Clarification about Lyn Alden's opinion of Ethereum
EDIT 10: I am still working on a much more ambitious write up. It is focused on economic aspects of money, monetary systems and global asset markets. I still have not incorporated any of the information written here, but I eventually will merge it together. One of the main new ideas that I am exploring is challenging the notion that money has no intrinsic value and that scarcity is the most important attribute of money. I think I make a compelling argument to demonstrate that facilitating economic activity is more important, and how Ethereum has a big edge over Bitcoin in this regard. Here is the link to the WIP doc.
TLDR: Ethereum is not stopping at the moon... it is not stopping on Mars... it is going straight out of the Milky Way galaxy in search for alien life... but you should own some BTC just in case the spaceship malfunctions during launch.

Update: On Citron's 5 reasons and how they might try to manipulate you tomorrow

Obligatory disclaimer: I am not an expert, nor have I been doing this long. I'm also rather poor. If you wish to award this post, please also buy a GME share or something at Gamestop.
Obligatory emojis + position: 🚀🚀, GME 266 shares @$36.54 avg
TL;DR at bottom.
This is a repost with updates, if this is not OK, mods go ahead and delete, I'll just edit the original.

Before I get into this, I need to say two things first. One, shorters will keep shorting, they're in too deep. Second, they will also do their absolute best to make ANYONE ELSE sell or short too, and they've had years of practice on how to manipulate people and to use the media to do it (including paid news articles).

Reason 1: GME is a mall-store blockbuster (no future), will cite earnings reports

Please see this very extensive Due Diligence (DD) along with this fascinating new development. Also definitely worth an extensive read is this amazing DD, on its own website.
GME is on a trajectory to do some pretty cool things, even without the short squeeze that has everyone excited. Long buyers are in. News people are starting to pivot more and more as of Wednesday, they cannot deny the trajectory in the face of continued shorting.

Most likely things they will cite are:
  1. Total sales declined 3.1% in the holiday sales report
  2. Large 3rd quarter sales declines (pre-covid vs post-covid the most likely cause).
  3. Closed 11% of stores (which they did to cut underperforming stores, and because their stores are FAR too dense, especially given an increased focus on E-commerce)
  4. Unavailability of consoles (as if this has anything to do with Gamestop)

Most likely things they will intentionally leave out:
  1. Comparable store sales increased 4.8% in holiday report (so, decrease above likely because of store closures)
  2. E-commerce is at 34% of company sales, equivalent to Best Buy percentage (and growing rapidly, and more rapidly than Best Buy)
  3. Regional sales in Australia/New Zealand (no covid) went UP 31%

Reason 2: Insiders are selling

This is true. But here are the facts that they will leave out:
1/12/21-1/13/21: Hestia Capital (whose managing member is Wolf Kurt James) sold 945,550 shares of GME for this reason "in order to better align with the maximum concentration guidelines for single stock investment of Hestia Capital". The fund still owns 91,000 shares and Wolf Kurt James PERSONALLY AND DIRECTLY still owns 50,689 (including 20,000 of his wife's shares).
Also,
1/13/21: Dunn Lizabeth sold 5,000 shares of GME. She still owns 57,258.
1/13/21-1/15/21: Raul J Fernandez sold 31,119 shares of GME. He still owns 29,289 [updated]
1-13-21: Kathy P Vrabeck sold 50,000 shares of GME. She still owns 79,537.
The forms regarding the previous 3 people's sales were all filed by Dunn Lizabeth, suggesting that they sold as a coordinated choice. Also, all three of those people are NOT on the Board of Directors as proposed by RC Ventures (and conditionally agreed to by Gamestop, an agreement they'll almost definitely keep given the huge increases in share price upon RC Ventures' buy-in and policy changes that RC Ventures has strongly suggested/recommended)
Source: SEC Filings

Reason 3: Some form of WSB bashing

  1. They will likely ascribe most if not all of the upward trajectory of Gamestop to WSB. This is not entirely false: this subreddit, the repeated DDs on it, and people's "rabid" attention has indeed contributed to the upward trajectory. This is the age of the individual investor though, and the way media works has changed. There is nothing shady or inappropriate about large groups of people believing in something and then pursuing and/or betting on its success. This is exactly what the MM's do, the difference is that they have few people moving lots of money, and WSB has lots of people each moving a little money.
  2. Y'all have been rude AF. Not saying anything against it, I'm just saying that there will be backlash to the kind of savagery we've seen against Citron and Melvin in the past few days. They will call you rabid, they will call you crazy idiots, they will call you insane gamblers, they will imply (but never say on air) that you are "autists" and "retards"...and in some most cases, they'll even be right. However, I hope that anyone reading this who isn't a WSB fanatic will recognize that the movement of this stock, while inspired by such fanaticism, is not based on some rabid fanaticism alone (See #1, see the hundreds of tickers posted here every day).

Reason 4: The short squeeze has already happened

  1. Now here, I expect them to throw up some fancy crayon data analysis looking at shares shorted or available to short or short interest % of daily trading or fees to short and try and pretend like that number really means that the shorts have already covered. Here's the important data (there's some in the DD in #1 as well).
First, Short interest was higher than float as of EOD Friday, and still higher than float at EOD Tuesday, meaning there is an absolutely obscene # of shorted shares (a "high" number is often cited as 20-30%, we're at 100%). We'll see updated numbers for EOD Wednesday in the early morning. Short interest actually INCREASED during the Wed-Thurs time that Citron was originally saying was the short squeeze. Now, these are Ortex estimates based on the self-reported shares short at a large aggregate of brokerages, but have been very reliable when compared to the official SEC data that comes out every half a month.
Important Update here based on re-analysis.
The # of shorted shares from Wed-Fri was approximately 71.4M (approximately the current # of shares short). Citron's analysis will say that shorters have COVERED their original shorts, and what we are seeing now are NEW shorts at higher price points (less pressure). I think they are partially correct. However:
1) Shorters will have wanted to drive down price on Wed onward. This means that the shorted shares are not necessarily new opened shorts that are still open, but may have been temporary shorts that were covered on the same day. We have seen a lot of temporary shorting in the past few days, so at least some of the shorts were due to this. In fact, I expect that a very large number of those 71.4M shorted shares were temporary shorts, based on the number of shares sold short each day over the past few months (millions per day) and the overall changes in the total number of shorted shares over the same period (almost none, relatively).
2) Shorts have been re-opened. The difference between their loss on a new short after covering an old short, or from holding the original short is the difference in price between those two shorts (could be as high as $20, but that's only for some of the shorts). However, the fact that a similar level of % short/float exists today means that the EXACT SAME potential for a short squeeze is present even if these are new shorts, but the pressure is somewhat lower as the current price MIGHT be closer to the short price.
3) With GME's current trajectory (even if we discount Wednesday's meteoric rise and just look at the last 6 months), even those hypothetical higher price point shorts are still in significant danger. If they weren't, we wouldn't be seeing this huge pushback from media and such aggressive market manipulation (see Tuesday's 2x1M share sell-offs).
BONUS) It's important to note that the borrowing fees, while not insignificant, are reasonably trivial for a large institution. It amounts to something like $0.03 per day per share, even at 30% on a $40 stock. They can hold for a month and if they make $1 per share, they're still up. However, this adds up. Also, eventually, the broker will need to fill real share buy orders and can force an immediate sale. Finally, if trajectory continues to go up, it just stops being worth trying to short it and someone will start a selling chain, driving up price.

Reason 5: More shares traded on some days than are short. Meaning days to cover is not close to accurate.

This is absolutely true. Days to cover is based on an average of the daily volume over the past few days. What they will say is that because daily volume is higher then shorts can cover very easily. Here's three reasons I disagree:
  1. the volume shorted over the past week has consistently been around 20%+ of the daily volume. Therefore we can discount 20% of the volume as that has no net effect on the number of shorts.
  2. any increase in volatility of a stock will lead to increased trading. That means more sellers, but also more buyers. The days to cover metric is based ONLY on volume. That means that it assumes that every share bought is bought to replace a shorted share. That is unlikely to ever be the case, especially in today's market which is saturated by retail investors because of trading apps. They're using 1900s math in 2021.
  3. Trading volume has actually been decreasing since last Wednesday, while % short hasn't changed, so current volumes will mean more time to cover again compared to last Wednesday (even though days to cover isn't the greatest measure). So this is less and less in the shorters' favor as volume decreases, and we have a similar % short/float.

So what will happen?

THIS IS A GUESS. But, based on the sudden vanishing of shares available to short at IKBR at approximately the same time as the Citron announcement on Tuesday, I suspect tomfoolery. In addition, Citron just started doing these "twitter Live" things two days ago. Yes, GME wasn't the first one, but it's still a very recent new thing. At the same time, GME has had some barefaced manipulation these past few days on this sub and elsewhere in the media, not to mention the likely months of naked shorting. Citron also conveniently decided to delay their twitter live for the inauguration, as they were hoping for a higher viewership (or potential viewership), which makes perfect sense, but still seems strange that on the SECOND LIVE TWITTER THEY DID (for the good of their viewers), THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE ELECTION.
None of this happened yesterday because yesterday was a slightly lower volume day than usual, and their strategies to drive down price require maximum exposure. If they're very aggressive and trigger SEC Rule 201 again, they're limited in their shorting options on the next day.
Option 1: we have a repeat of Friday where shorters will try to immediately and early smash down GME price in hopes that it will keep going down after starting that trajectory. They can do this because SEC Rule 201 is not active (so they can short on a downtick again).
Option 2: Shorters will first allow stocks to rise as they did Tuesday. Then at around 11:30 (+/- 1 hour), GME will start to tank rapidly (potentially due again to some big 1M share sells). If it was me, I would time it and hit it very hard so it hits -10% for the day (the furthest they can push it by shorting on downticks) as close to the Citron announcement as possible, with the hopes that that livestream will then push retail shorters to short more or paper-handers to sell. Remember, due to puts expiring Friday, there is likely significant pressure on shorters to drive price below $35 or as close as they can asap.
Option 3: Small but steady downward pressure, in the hopes of making retail investors get bored and leave so that the stock price goes down.
Gamestop will also announce an influx of new consoles sometimes tomorrow. This helps push stock up, and I bet they time it to be right before Citron's twitter live if they can, and my personal hope is that there's something unexpected about this influx of new consoles (perhaps a larger number than usual due to a new deal?), but I don't expect this to have a super huge effect.

TL;DR: Citron might have good points, but they'll leave out a lot. Find the real scoop above, and don't let them manipulate you into selling if they or their funders time some share dumps to go with their stream. 💎🙌

The Gayest Gay Bear Post in the History of WSB. We are HEADED DOWN, Folks!!!

The Gayest Gay Bear Post in the History of WSB. We are HEADED DOWN, Folks!!!

Update (12/8/20):

For those who missed it, I've upped this bet to include a tattoo on my ass if I'm wrong. But I won't be wrong.

UPPING THE ANTE: If SPY closes below 360 by next Friday I will donate $100 to the top 10 commentors below. If SPY closes above 375 next Friday I will get JPow's face and "Don't Fight The Fed" tattooed on my ass.

UPDATE (11/30/20):

Stock futures are currently at around +0.80%. I'm down as fuck on my positions as most of you already know...
I stated before I never put more than 10k into short term options plays, which is how I've lasted 20 years in this game.
These are extreme times. I am now putting that rule on hold. If these futures hold up, tomorrow I am dumping another 10k into my SPY puts and VXX calls. I am literally doubling down to a 20k total bet.
This extra 10k will be January/February dated since my December timing appears to be early.
Still conservative strikes: VXX 22c, SPY 350p, TLT 162c

UPDATE: CURRENT POSITIONS (as of 11/20/20)

Hello again. SVM/??? here with another fuckin banger. LET'S GOOOO!!!!!

Introduction:

The market is going to tank. Let me just give a bit of background so you know why my opinion is better than yours...
I am not a bear. I am not a bull. I go where the market tells me to go, I bet where it tells me to bet. And right now, the indicators are telling me to take a strong bearish position. So that's what I have been doing.
I've been trading more than 20 years. I was trading the great financial crash while most of you were watching fucking Spongebob or whatever the fuck you kids jerked it to. This is not my primary job, but I make a good deal of cash on the side every month, timing the market and swing trading broad market ETFs. I do my research, I know my shit, and I rarely touch your shitty meme stocks. I'm doing you all a favor of once again sharing my insights into this market, so you too can share in my profits and maybe learn a thing or two.
I will lay this out as cleanly as I can, offering multiple premises for my bearish bet and explaining them in detail. I've covered some of this in the past, but wanted to consolidate everything and more in one place. This post will be long. If you want to cry about that rather than thank me for my service, you will go broke soon and deserve it cuz you are a lazy fuck. PRESSING FORWARD!

Primary Bearish Premises:
Premise 1: The Market is Massively Overvalued (Macro)
Premise 2: SPY is Topping Off and Running on Vaccine Fumes (TA)
Premise 3: The Fed CANNOT Print Money You Retards (Facts)
Premise 4: Quantitative Easing is Deflationary (Theory)
Premise 5: Credit Markets are Contracting (Data)
Premise 6: Banks are Loading Up on Safe Bonds While Retail Loads Up on Stocks (Data)
Premise 7: Unemployment is Still Sky High (Data)

Premise 1: The Market is Massively Overvalued

There are plenty of small, detail arguments for a bearish position. Covid cases rising, election uncertainty, stimulus failing, and so on. Plenty of others have made this case, so I won't focus on the small scale issues such as these.
What I want to give you is a larger, macro picture. Because the market is simply overvalued, period. The market has become divorced from the overall economy. I understand tech, and why they have a bullish case for growth in the face of Covid lockdowns... My point here is that you need some REAL WORLD measures to tie "future earnings" down to reality, to prevent irrational euphoria from taking over your mind.
There are plenty of indicators out there showing that stocks are overvalued. We could talk about insane P/E ratios, about euphoric meme stock flops like NKLA, and so on. The metric I'm going to present here is not new by any stretch. It isn't unique or original. But it is undeniably useful, and carries strong weight, whether modern traders wish to shun it and its originator or not. I'm talking about the Buffet Indicator.
https://preview.redd.it/oem2uhz714061.png?width=1008&format=png&auto=webp&s=b1f7e97544eba52859b986af68b4b80556660e43
For those of you new to this concept, it is simply the total stock market valuation divided by GDP. The point is to compare total market valuations with some hard, trailing, real-world metric, in this case GDP. When market valuations uncouple strongly from actual market conditions, it is a strong signal of irrational stock valuations. And that presents opportunity for those paying attention.
Note that this chart has already been detrended down to account for historically rising P/E ratios, and it still shows a strongly overvalued market, equal to what was seen during the DotCom bubble. That's bad news, folks.
This is the REAL issue in the present market, and why buyers are becoming exhausted. Covid, instability, elections, stimulus... These are all just catalysts to give that equity bubble a little prick. Only the dumbest of the dumb are still "buying the dip" under current market conditions, which means mostly clueless retail gamblers on WSB. All these perma-bulls are doing is offering liquidity to the institutional investors to help get them out of their positions. In the end, we all know who is left holding the bag.

Premise 2: The Market is Topping Off and Running on Vaccine Fumes

I'm not a big believer in technical analysis. Most of it is bullshit, astrological voodoo if you ask me. But some of it works, and when technical analysis works, it is simply being used as a proxy for assessing market sentiment and emotions. Let's take a closer look at the teaser SPY chart I posted above.
https://preview.redd.it/h0ndq2a914061.png?width=1808&format=png&auto=webp&s=3fe30a5ad23952719c69c6634debe7fe8c0832af
As you can see, the market has been repeatedly rejecting multiple new highs. This process was briefly interrupted by positive vaccine news. We breached a new high on Pfizer vaccine results, but even that new high was instantly rejected and resulted in a sudden reversal selloff. The Moderna vaccine news created another short rally, lower than the Pfizer high, and that too was followed by a selloff. In other words, the market is continually rejecting current market valuations. As they should be, if you were following the point above. We are running on vaccine news fumes, and those will not last long. If you develop an instinct for these things, you can almost feel it in your gut: The market WANTS to head down.
If this isn't the top, it is close to it. $366.77 will very likely be the high for SPY for the year, and will soon unwind downwards.

Premise 3: The Fed CANNOT Print Money

I know this will come as a shock to most of you idiots but the fucking money printer does NOT GO BRRRRR.
The Fed has to follow the laws that govern it's actions. The Fed does not have the legal authority to simply print cash and hand it out. Go ahead and read the Federal Reserve Act, and take a look at the Fed's actions, for proof of this. It doesn't even have the authority to print cash to buy corporate bonds or anything else.
What the Fed "prints" is called "reserves."
Source: https://www.stlouisfed.org/open-vault/2019/august/open-market-operations-monetary-policy-tools-explained
So what, you say? So everything. The key point about reserves is that they cannot be spent like cash can. When a bank gets reserve funds in its reserve account at the Fed, it CANNOT SPEND that money. All the bank can do is use that account as collateral to lend against. Which means if the banks are not lending, those QE funds are NOT entering the economy. They might as well not exist. And banks are not lending, as we will see below.
This is the counter argument to all the ignorant retail traders who will argue that the Fed is "backstopping" stocks, or that the Fed will not "allow" the market to crash. The Fed has no power to print money, and therefore no power to buy stocks, and therefore no power to prevent a crash. The Fed's power is illusory, but enough people buy the illusion to make it effective. That won't last forever.
Just think about it. If Fed actions and QE really made stocks rally the way people claim it does, why isn't the Japan Nikkei constantly breaking new all time highs???

Premise 4: Quantitative Easing is Deflationary

Quantitative Easing is not Cash. In fact, QE is deflationary.
Here is how QE works, in a nutshell. The Fed buys bonds from the big banks. Except the Fed isn't buying them with cash. In exchange for the bonds, the Fed puts funds in a reserve account held by the bank. These reserve funds CANNOT BE TOUCHED by the banks. All the banks can do is use this account as collateral to lend against.
In fact, it's worse than that. Because the Fed is removing assets from the open market, and not paying cash for them. It is purchasing liquid assets with illiquid reserves. Despite all the Fed's talk about "creating liquidity," what the Fed is actually doing is REMOVING liquidity from the system!
Why would they do this? Answer: To lower interest rates. Don't take my word for it, the Fed explains this itself!
Source: https://www.stlouisfed.org/open-vault/2019/august/open-market-operations-monetary-policy-tools-explained
See, the Fed has to follow the laws that govern its actions. Despite what the public believes, the Fed does not have the legal authority to simply print money and hand it out. The Fed knows that the true source of inflation in a debt-based economy is through credit expansion. So the Fed does everything it can to reduce interest rates, both by setting reserve rates near zero and by using QE to drive rates down further.
Only when credit expansion revives will we begin to see inflation and a true recovery. The Fed knows their hands are tied, which is why they keep hammering Congress to pass more stimulus.
Perhaps the greatest strength of the Fed is in "forward guidance." The Fed simply uses words to convince the public that money is being printed, that inflation is coming, so that people go out and spend and buy assets. They are playing a trick on the public, and the trick is working. People actually believe inflation is coming, that stocks are being held up by the Fed, that money is pouring into the system. The public is wrong on every count.
The Fed is trying to contract credit markets in order to lower interest rates in order to eventually spur lending in order to eventually create inflation. But in the meantime, QE is deflationary. As stated above, if reserve funds are not being lent out by the banks, they do not enter the economy, and thus QE serves a deflationary role. Let's take a look at the next premise, that banks are contracting the credit markets.

Premise 5: Credit Markets are Contracting

The question of whether banks are lending or not with their QE reserves is simply a matter of looking at the data. Practically every data source we can point to suggests contracting credit conditions. This means QE reserves are not entering the economy, and therefore are not producing inflation nor holding up stocks.
The SLOOS data from the Fed, Oct. 2020:

Real Estate lending is booming, you say? Not so....
Banks Lending is TIGHTENING:
Source: https://www.federalreserve.gov/data/documents/sloos-202010-charts.pdf
Note: The decline near the end doesn't represent growth in credit, but represents a reduction in the RATE of tightening.
Consumer Demand for Loans is SHRINKING:

Even Credit Card debt growth is negative!

Premise 6: Banks are Loading Up on Safe Bonds While Retail Loads Up on Stocks

If you are like me, you look forward to the H.8 data every Friday from the Fed (yeah right haha). A continuing trend in that data, month after month after month, is that major banks in the US have been loading up on bonds with no end in sight. They are piling more and more cash into safe assets, now up to a whopping $4.6 TRILLION in securities.
Source: https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h8/current/default.htm
Meanwhile, retail traders (that means you) keep piling into stocks at all time highs. A record amount of cash was dumped into the market after the vaccine news breaks. I'm just gonna go ahead and call it now. This is the top.
Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-13/stock-funds-get-record-44-5-billion-inflows-on-vaccine-optimism

Premise 7: Unemployment is Still Sky High

I bring this up just to reiterate another real-world metric that is gloomy as fuck and yet completely ignored from market valuations. Why are stocks breaking all-time highs when we still have MILLIONS more unemployed than we did this time last year? Hello McFly?
https://preview.redd.it/jda435zq14061.png?width=1164&format=png&auto=webp&s=3929064c0e9d6ae120201ad4295e02cca2bdcf45

Conclusion:

Shit's fucked up son. Real world economy is still in shambles. Market is more overvalued than it was during the DotCom boom. Still millions unemployed. The market is topping off and rejecting highs again and again. The Fed is not printing money and not backstopping assets, despite claims to the contrary. We are heading down, folks!
Positions:
SPY 350p 12/18
VXX 22c 12/18
Also anything else that strikes your fancy. IWM, GLD, SLV puts are all fine (dollar is going to rise). Longer dated TLT calls will print as well due to QE reducing bond yields, eventually. Go longer or shorted dated depending on personal risk tolerance.
Timing can be difficult. My strategy is to periodically enter bearish positions when short-term indicators look good, and hope to eventually time the major dump. If things begin to stabilize short-term I exit the position quickly with a small gain or, rarely, a small loss.

Who was a better defender Lebron James or Michael Jordan? A Defensive Comparison between the two.

Lebron James and Michael Jordan are the two greatest basketball players of all time in most people’s eyes. Instead of looking at their arguments for being the goat and comparing their legacies, I decided to compare their defense, something they both have been elite at.
In order to compare the 2 defenders, I watched a lot of historic films, compiled evidence and created their defensive profiles, I focused on every aspect of defense, what they were good at it, bad at, how they helped their teams, their defensive prime and careers, etc. I don’t use any accolades or awards, this is mostly based on re-watching countless hours of games and looking at historic film and paying some attention to advanced stats to contextualize the information. I don’t pay as much attention to advanced stats as I recognize they’re not perfect, they do give a fair idea and help in providing substance.
I watched regular season games to look at defensive fundamentals, tendencies, how frequently they make mistakes, what defensive skills they possess. And I used playoff games to track their one on one match ups when they guard stars like Kevin Durant, Magic Johnson, Tony Parker, Isiah Thomas, etc. I also paid attention to how many ‘good’ or ‘bad’ rotations they made, how much rim protection they offer, how many gambles, etc.
So here are the two players:

LEBRON JAMES

Lebron James is a 6’9, 250lb freak of nature, who is considered one of the most athletic basketball players in the history of the game. He has a 7’0 ft wingspan and he has a hand-span of 9.25 inches which is actually below average for his height. Really quick, really agile for his height, physically dominant and insanely powerful. Lebron has a 44 inch vertical and he is quick off the floor. A perfect mix of speed and strength.

Defensive Profile

Coming into the league as an 18 year old, Lebron was this super athletic raw player who needed time to develop into something positive on the defensive end. From 2003/04 to 2007/08 he was a slightly above average defender who had a lot of highlight plays but a lot of breakdowns too. His first major leap to being an elite defender was in 2008/09, after 5 years in the league, Lebron had become an excellent defender.
Starting things off with his man defense, Lebron for the most part of his career was a really good one on one defender, often guarding the best guard or wing on the opposing team. His athleticism and combination of lateral quickness and strength help him keep offensive players in front of him. He is really good at limiting drives to the basket and making the offensive players take tougher jump shots, something he wants them to do. Early on in his career he didn’t have the best footwork, this affected his ability to defend in space and often led to easy baskets. Over the years his footwork improved significantly and he became a better individual defender.
Lebron guards Durant, uses his body to stop the drive, good use of hands to make KD lose the ball and contests well for an airball
Lebron guards Joe Johnson 1v1. Does a great job of keeping him in front uses his size to make it a difficult shot and then blocks the shot.
It’s really hard to beat a prime Lebron off the dribble, his 6’9 frame and explosiveness makes it difficult for anyone going against him. Lebron was one of the better man to man defenders in his prime, however he wasn’t at an all time level.
Lebron did get beat a few times too often for me to call him an all time one on one defender. Elite ball handlers and quick guys would blow past him once in a while. For the most part he shifted his feet well, but he did have errors on a more consistent basis than Michael Jordan for example.
He got beat off the dribble a fair few times by elite ball handlers, a touch bit slower at sticking with them. He’s got good footwork, not great. He shifts his feet well but it’s not an uncommon thing to see Lebron get off the dribble at times.
Here Paul George beats him off the dribble.
Another element of Lebron’s defense is his recoveries, if he gets beaten he often tries to erase shots from the back. “Blocked by James” haunts a lot of players and fans. His speed, leaping ability and IQ make it easy for him to run back and contest or block shots from the ball handler.
Lebron’s post defense is also great. He has the strength to bang down low, can contain players in the mid post and force and contest mid range shots.
Lebron uses his strength effectively to cut out Zion in the post
Lebron is guarding Kevin Durant here. First he fronts the post, great ball denial. Then he uses his strength to keep KD in that spot, doesn't bite on the pump fake, contests the shot well to force a miss.
When guarding bigger players like centers or power forwards, he usually fronts the post and is great at ball denial. He usually tries to swipe down at the ball when in the post.
He isn’t able to defend deep post positioned players though, once he gives up deeper post position it’s hard for him to alter the shot, often leading to an easy shot at the basket.
Lebron wasn’t great at navigating screens for the first half of his career, just a tendency where he had trouble moving his body around and over screens effectively. Later in his career he improved a lot and is good at staying with his man when other players are involved.
Lebron’s man defense is great, but not all time. What puts his defense at an all time level is his off ball and team defense. Lebron in his defensive prime was a master at reading and breaking up plays, making rotations. He is super active on the court, when locked in (something I’m going to touch on later) his ability to understand other team’s offenses and make sharp rotations, move around the court, offer rim protection and perimeter defense is super valuable.
This is a good example of his rotations. He helps off of his defense when the pass is made and AD rolls to the basket. Provides great rim protection is forces a miss from an all time finisher
Lebron helps off the point guard when Dwight gets the ball, he makes a great play by blocking the shot right at the rim
Lebron comes in from the weakside to deny Dwight Howard.
Lebron’s off ball and team defense is easily his best defensive attribute and that’s where a large amount of his defensive impact comes from. Often Lebron played the free safety role, helping off of his matchup to slide over to the roll man, or protect the rim or attempt a steal in the passing lane.
This iconic play is a great example of Lebron's ability. His rotation is on time and he offers great rim resistance here. He made these type of plays often in his prime
Lebron is extremely active on the defensive end, switching through multiple positions, rotating over to stop the rim roller, closing out shooters all on the same play.
His playmaking and vision help him in reading plays, often anticipating which pass is going to be made ahead of time. He is amazing at knowing the ball handlers passes making rotations ahead of time often breaking up plays. Rotating over to players, helping and getting blocks from the weak side, disrupting passing lanes, Lebron is great at all of these components. He’s at the right place at the right time and adds a lot of value to his team’s defense. The Miami Heat had a hard hedging defensive scheme due to Lebron’s ability to play the free safety role. Helping when the roller got the ball on a pick and roll, coming over to stop a driver, closing out a shooter on the opposite side of the court, Peak defensive Lebron did it all.
Lebron reads the ball handlers pass way ahead of time and gets the steal. Fantastic anticipation, his all time vision helps him here
His vision here too helps him a lot. Sees the pass ahead of time and makes a fantastic read.
Lebron's lightning quick reaction and anticipation
Lebron is one of the very best in NBA history at playing off ball defense, he has value as a rim protector too. In Miami he played closer to the basket at the power forward position a fair bit, his ability to influence shots at the basket was really helpful in the “small ball” lineups they played.
Another big reason for Lebron being an all time defender is his versatility. Lebron can guard 1-4. I wouldn’t say it’s fair to say that he can guard 1-5, but he can sure switch 1-5. You’d often see him be comfortable at handling all positions. Lebron has been consistently guarding point guards through power forwards in his career and when he switches on centers, it’s not a mismatch most of the time.
Mostly in the playoffs, having Lebron during 2009-13 meant you can have him guard the best opposing perimeter threat. He’s spent time on nearly every player, he guarded Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard in the 2013 finals. He’s spent time on Derrick Rose and David West while being the primary defender on Kevin Durant.
In a nutshell, Lebron in his prime can guard points, shooting guards, small forwards very comfortably. Against average power forwards he does a great job relative to other players. He can contain non scoring centers, against better bigs he may make it harder for them to score. Saying he would completely stop them is a stretch though. I absolutely don’t mind Lebron guarding 1-5 for stretches, but guarding them throughout the game (1s and 5s) is something I’m not too comfortable with.
Here he is switched onto Jokic and uses his strength well. He contests into a miss and secures the rebound.
This versatility allowed the heat to deploy several schemes and make use of them effectively. Lebron is one of the few players in history to effectively be able to switch through all positions.
He does struggle at times against dominant post scorers, at times the physicality is overwhelming even for him. In his prime he did a really good job vs most shifty guards, often staying with them and sliding his feet well. Guarding wings was no problem for him either.
Lebron’s weakside shot blocking ability also helps in him playing different off ball roles. He has value as a rim protector, often helping alter shots at the basket.
He’s great at reading passing lanes, posting healthy steal and deflection numbers. His length and ability to read plays make him effective when stealing passes.
Lebron Steal Rate Percentile
Lebron doesn’t make a lot of errors in off ball situations, though he has some minor flaws. Lebron’s closeouts at times are sloppy, not the best footwork and getting beat by subtle fakes a fair few times. He misses out on a few rotations which are extremely close to the basket, being marginally late or not realizing he could make the play.
Lebron’s transition defense has been up and down throughout his career. In his prime it was really good, he was a great transition defender. In the later end of his career, the effort reduced and his ability to track back and impact plays wasn't as common. Lebron’s speed and size make him a really effective transition defender, closing out, swatting shots or even simply slowing down attacks.
Lebron is an elite rebounder for his position and was great at not fouling.
Another important element of Lebron’s defense is his really high defensive IQ. Lebron is a walking scouting report, with so much attention to detail and time spent studying the sport he basically knows players, their tendencies, their shooting splits on different areas of the court. The guy is simply a genius. Super high IQ defender who knows when to help off of his man, knows which shooters aren’t good ball handlers; makes them uncomfortable, etc.
Heck he knows every play of other teams too, the guy is a walking playbook too. His IQ on that side of the court is so helpful, knowing where to be, when to be, what play is being run, how to play a man, this guy is prepared for basically everything.

Defensive Career

Lebron dPIPM
Lebron rDRTG
Lebron James has had an eventful defensive career. During 2003-07 he wasn’t a super impactful nor great defender. Around 2008 is where he started making greater strides and 2009 is the first season where his defensive potential was realized. His on ball defense was never great pre 2009 and off ball he wasn’t super aware. During 2009 he improved in all aspects. This was around his peak athleticism too. He became more versatile, a much better on ball defender and most importantly a smarter defender. After he went to Miami, he became an ever better defender. At this stage of his life he was at his athletic peak, added more weight to his frame and as explosive as ever. His crazy athleticism along with super high IQ made him one of the best defenders in the league. He was super versatile and constantly engaged. Around 2014 is the time his effort dropped a bit. He was still a great defender, his consistency was slightly lower. When he went back to Cleavland, his athleticism had declined a touch bit. Mainly his on ball defense took a slight hit due to slower feet and his off ball defense took a slight hit due to slower reactions. In 2017 he probably reached the defensive low in his career after the first major improvement in 2009. His effort greatly reduced and his foot speed was slower. His athleticism had faded a bit too. 2017-19, Lebron wasn’t a good defender by his standards. All aspects of his defensive game took a hit to some extent. A lot of this was mainly due to him “coasting” on defense or lack of effort. He got beat more often off the dribble, he wasn’t making rotations as frequently and proficiently, he struggled with shifty guards and players in general. In 2020, he is back to being a great defender. He is very clearly not in his defensive prime but added effort along with unparalleled iq makes him a really valuable defender.
To sum his defensive career up, I think 2009-13 was his defensive prime, this is the time he was one of the greatest and most impactful wing defenders of all time. Before that period, his fundamentals, IQ and actual ability wasn’t that high and after that period his effort and athleticism had decreased. More often than not, Lebron’s defense in the postseason becomes better than his defense in the regular season, showing he clearly saves himself for when it matters most.

MICHAEL JORDAN

Michael Jordan was a 6’6, 195-215lb freak of nature. Just like Lebron he is considered one of the most athletic players ever too. MJ has a 6’11 wingspan and a ridiculous 9.75 hand length, crazy for a 6’6 player. He also has a 11.5 handspan, again ridiculous. One of the quickest reaction times and agility in nba history, Michael was really fast both in short and long distance runs. He has a crazy 48 inch vertical, one of the best ever.

Defensive Profile

Michael Jordan was a super energetic high risk high reward defender for the most part. One of the most athletic players of all time, he had all the tools to be an elite defender. In his younger days, he wasn’t the smartest or most polished defender, he was still a positive on that end though. As the years went on he developed into being an elite defender with his athleticism, reactions, energy and technical ability. He made the leap from being an ok defender to good one around 1987 and became elite in 88.
In his prime, one of the best components of his defense was his man to man defense and ability to guard skilled ball handlers. His speed, reaction time and footwork made him a really effective defender when guarding isolation possessions. Often guarding the best perimeter player on the opposing team for the first half of his career, Michael had the ability to contain players, stay in front of his man and be a superb point of attack defender.
He put his 6’6 frame to the max using every bit of his athleticism to stop penetrators, he was so quick when moving, always keeping offensive players in front of him. On the ball, he had great fundamentals; moved in his stance really well, had great footwork and his massive hands helped in navigating players. The combination of fundamentals and supreme athleticism made Jordan really difficult to beat off the dribble. He was one of the best ever at guarding players one on one.
Michael’s error rate on one on one defensive sequences was lower than Lebron, he got blown by less and got beat less. Younger Michael did have problems with this element, often getting beat at a higher rate. Before his 88 season this was a problem.
During 1988 and onwards his ability to slow done drives was amazing, often locking up players. He was so quick to spots and he used his chest to cut out a lot of drives. Anticipating where his man would go and reacting before the move was even made. 1988-1993 he often took on the best guard, great at containing them and forcing higher turnovers and lower shooting percentages.
His hands were really active, one of the biggest hands in NBA history. He troubled ball handlers constantly by getting under them, great stance and using his hands to disrupt their dribble. This generated a lot of steals with him often swiping at the ball. He was so effective at this, completely shutting down players at times, getting the ball in his hands like they were gloves and killing their momentum. He was also great at contesting shots with his massive wingspan and reaction time.
His ability to remove players from games was valuable, especially in the playoffs.
Jordan’s post defense wasn’t great for the most part. 1984-90 Jordan weighed around 195-200 pounds, he wasn’t the strongest. He struggled at times with good post players and would often try and snipe the post, a risky strategy which didn’t always pay off. Gradually as he got stronger he also got smarter, not taking as many risks and using his body more effectively. Overall Jordan’s post defense was good and didn’t hurt his team that much.
MJ sniping the post and getting the steal. Something he did fairly often
In the second half of his career, he added more strength and lost some speed, he became smarter, less risk taking defender and used his strength really effectively. During the second three-peat he was slower than before and his defensive errors on ball increased, he got blown by more. Although he didn’t bleed that much value, still a great defender
Moving onto his off ball defense, Michael Jordan is one of the greatest in passing lanes, his anticipation, hands and aggressive style means he has few of the greatest steal numbers of all time. A master at creating havoc in the passing lanes, he is 3rd all time in total steals, 18th in steal percentage and 4th in steals per game. His aggression in passing lanes was great, although again a high risk high reward strategy. He had one of the best reaction time in NBA history, lightning quick reflexes and extreme speed made him great in rotations.
Good subtle double by MJ and his active hands lead to the steal. Great at getting steals from the passing lanes.
Michael tracks the shooter well and gets the steal.
He was phenomenal at denying passes, denying and stealing a post entry, not allowing post entries when guarding the ball handler, fighting over cross screens and stealing passes, Jordan had a lot of value on creating turnovers.
With all these positives comes the negative, Michael was a big gambler (on the court obviously), he went for steals a touch bit too often. At times his mistakes led to easy baskets, although his error rate wasn’t that high. As he matured as a player, he took less risks, went for less steals and played a more conservative (a good thing) style of defense.
Michael attempts the steal but fails. This leads to open dunk. His high risk high reward playstyle would lead to these types of breakdowns at times.
He was a really good team defender too, making accurate reads and timely rotations at a high rate. Michael consistently helped off of his man to provide help defense, his quickness and activity rate made him a really good help defender. He was a great weakside shot blocker, he was really good at helping from the weak side in general often leading to steals or blocks.
Michael rotates over from the weakside to swat the shot
His reads were accurate, although he was a little too aggressive at times, this high risk high reward strategy led to over helping at times. An evident tendency of Jordan was his super aggressive style of defense for the first 9 years of his career. Another minor flaw was he didn’t offer a lot of resistance at the basket when rotating over. Despite having a crazy vertical leap, MJ’s rim protection wasn’t super valuable, he did make the right rotations but his contests weren’t necessarily shot altering. Younger Jordan didn’t have the mass to offer good protection, older Jordan didn’t have the vertical. He wasn’t the strongest and rim rollers could easily finish over him. He shys away from contact at the rim and wasn’t reliable in these situations.
Here his overhelping leads to the open shot.
Relatively early into his career and in the second three-peat, the number of good rotations he made were lesser than his prime. It was clear when he was taking the gas off and conserving his energy. Around 87-92, Michael’s activity rate was phenomenally high, both on the ball and off the ball.
Michael’s off ball activity allowed Chicago to have one of the most aggressive perimeter defenses in NBA history. Since the bulls didn’t have great rim protection, they built their scheme around Michael, Scottie and a suffocating perimeter defense. Due to their point of attack defense, aggressive helping and stealing passing lanes, the bulls had a defensive dynasty for almost a decade.
Jordan helps off his man and gets the steal. Great timing and help defense
Michael was also a versatile defender who could guard point guards, shooting guards and small forwards. His ability to guard and switch 1-3 to near perfection was really valuable to his overall impact. Throughout his career he’s guarded these positions and he’s done it really well, he’s quick enough for points and big enough for small forwards. There’s not much of a sample size where he can guard power forwards or centers. Basically you would not trust him to switch onto PFs or centers without it being a mismatch. He’s not big enough to alter their shots or make it tougher for them. He never really needed to guard 4s and 5s but switching on bigger players wasn’t ideal.
He’s mostly spent time on guards although he is able to guard SFs with no problem. In his career he matched up with elite offensive players in Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Reggie Miller, Isiah Thomas and more. This meant the bulls could almost take a player out of the game at times, Michael’s defense was so pest like he troubled ball handlers like no other.
Michel’s steal and block numbers for a guard are insane.
There's only been 13 players in NBA history to have 150+ steals and a 100+ blocks in a single season. Only 2 are guards. There's only been 4 total seasons with 200+ steals and 100+ blocks, Michael did it twice. The red points are the 86-87 and 87-88 Jordan seasons.
Talking about a trend in all of his defensive skills, his high risk high reward playstyle. Michael’s defensive IQ wasn’t amazing a lot of times, especially when talking about unforced errors. He didn’t make that many one on one errors, missed rotations due to his inability; it was rather due to going for steals or being a little too aggressive. This isn’t to say he wasn’t a smart defender, it’s just about losing some value due to avoidable errors.
His transition defense was a bit streaky, he wasn’t super aware early on and later on his effort was reduced. In his prime he was a really effective transition defender, slowing down fastbreaks, switching onto whoever he wanted to.
He was also an elite rebounder for guards. His foul rate was fairly high for his position throughout his career.

Defensive Career

Michael Jordan dPIPM
Michael Jordan rDRTG
With all the tools to be a really good defender, Michael entered the league as a raw defender. He was a positive around 84-86 but not a good defender. Around 87, before his dpoy campaign he improved a lot in all departments of defense. Became smarter, increased effort, much better concentration, footwork and movement had improved. His defensive prime and where he truly realized was 1988-92, at this point of time he’d solidified himself as one of the best defensive guards in the league, in fact defenders in general. Michael was one of the best defenders ever for this prime, an all time one on one defender and an elite team defender. He was still making his risky plays but he was smarter. He was about 205lb during this stretch, phenomenal athleticism and on a defensive juggernaut. In 93 his defense had dipped a bit, slightly reduced effort and a bit of a dip in athleticism. He made less good rotations, his man defense was still great and he was still as versatile. After he came back from retirement, he had lost more athleticism, was slower footed and less active in passing lanes. In 95-96 and 96-97 he became one of the best guard defenders in the league again. He was much smarter and had developed a great defensive IQ by this time. His rotation activity wasn’t as frequent but it was more controlled and really valuable. In 98 he wasn't the same athletic freak he once was, he wasn’t guarding quicker guards as frequently as it wasn’t the best matchup. He was much slower relative to young Jordan, but during 96-98 he was even stronger than before. His post defense improved and he was great at using his chest to stop players. He was still a good defender but clearly not the same. In his wizards days, Jordan was a negative defender, obviously at the age of 38 and 39 it’s hard to be a good one.
Overall he had a great dominant defensive career, with him reaching his apex around 88-92. He was an all league level defender throughout 87-97 (missing 2 years:-94&95) and he was consistently a positive on that end up till his Washington days. He became a smarter defender in the second half of his career and he was way more athletic in the first half. Consistently being an all time man defender and great team defender, Michael also had a really high motor. Just like Lebron his defense in the postseason became even better.

Final Comparison

So after watching the film, looking at the data available, putting their defense into context, who do I think was the better or more impactful defender?
The best way to put this is I think Lebron James had the better defensive prime (08-13) and Michael Jordan had the better defensive career. I think Lebron’s prime defense is more impactful and adds more value to his team compared to Michael’s. That added off ball defense and versatility gives him a slight edge over Jordan. Michael Jordan has the better defensive career, he was as valuable to more valuable for a longer period of time. I have 08-13 Lebron beating 88-92 Michael by a hair, his combination of team and isolation defense along with amazing versatility added a lot of value to his team. Both are all time defenders, especially in their primes. Jordan’s defensive consistency stayed up till later in his career, Lebron declined earlier. Both these greats turn it up in the playoffs, predictably their defense gets better when the stakes are higher. Both of the players were a part of great league defenses and clearly had an all time impact.
