BTC Analyst Willy Woo had Predicted the Decoupling

The current decoupling of Bitcoin from the traditional markets was predicted by veteran Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo in a September 25th tweet that stated the following.

Bitcoin will decouple from traditional markets soon, but driven by its internal adoption s-curve (think startup style growth) rather than changes in perceptions as a hedging instrument by traditional investors. Fundamentals of user adoption have already broken all-time highs.

Mr. Woo reiterated his analysis further in a follow-up tweet a day later providing on-chain data to back up his prediction. Below is his tweet and accompanying chart that shows an increase in Bitcoin users that will fuel the decoupling.
