Bitcoin Price Will 'Rise Stupendously' as Middle East Conflict Intensifies, Says Arthur Hayes

Author: Content Editor
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicts that Bitcoin (BTC) will experience a significant rise in value due to escalating geopolitical conflicts. He argues that the US government's financial response to conflicts in the Middle East will result in increased money printing and government spending, which will drive inflation and fuel the next bull run for Bitcoin. Hayes believes that with more dollars entering the economy through government debt, investors will turn to Bitcoin as a means of protection against inflation. He references historical examples of how hard assets, like gold, perform well during energy crises and periods of high inflation, and suggests that Bitcoin, often referred to as "digital gold," will behave similarly. However, Hayes warns traders to prepare for volatility and suggests that crypto markets could face drawdowns if the conflict destabilizes global markets. Despite the uncertainty, Hayes maintains that Bitcoin's long-term trajectory will remain upward due to monetary policies that favor debt-financed spending. He advises traders to avoid making emotional decisions based on political developments and to seek protection in assets that outperform fiat debasement.
