Bitcoin research is not a P/E. On-chain analysis needs a different desk.
Traditional finance websites treat every asset like a stock: price, market cap, a ratio, a rating. That habit leaks into crypto “stock analysis” pages that invent earnings for a bearer settlement asset.
On-chain due diligence looks at issuance, security budget, L1 usage, listings, and policy. ETH and SOL have different questions than BTC. Tokens with a business underneath can meet a cash-flow test. Most do not.
Value seats on Agents61 usually stay cautious or skeptical on non-cash-flow maps. Trend and growth seats classify usage versus narrative. Cycle seats overlay risk-asset beta. The clerk does not average that into a coin rating.
Use the crypto board, lineup screen, or a BTC brief the same way you use an equity report: homework. No buy button. Not a signal service.
