bitcoin, read in plain english.
live, open, free.
A free, read-only desk. Valuation, macro, on-chain, network and derivatives — each scored and explained in one sentence. The overview is open to all; a free account unlocks the full desk. No KYC, no custody, no payment.
Bitcoin looks cheap — around the 18th percentile of its history. The blend of metrics sits well below fair value.
three rules. live, open, honest.
OC BTC blends free, keyless sources — price history, FRED macro series, mempool network data, on-chain cost-basis — into a handful of scores. The math is plain; the framing is plainer. The point is orientation, not signals.

live
The desk reads current market data and caches at the edge, so it loads instantly and stays fresh. Calm, not frantic — no flashing tickers, no fake urgency, no nudge to act in the next thirty seconds.

open
Every number is served from one open, unauthenticated API anyone can curl — no key, no paywall. The desk experience is free with an orangecheck account; the raw data stays open to everyone.

honest
Each metric carries a plain-english verdict and names its trade-offs. We read the data; we do not sell a position. Informational only — never financial advice.

The read is free. The overview and the data API are open to everyone; a free orangecheck account unlocks the full desk — every panel, and your saved watches. Your bitcoin is your login: no KYC, no custody, no payment.
