BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes suggests that a potential return of Donald Trump to the presidency could significantly depreciate the US dollar and push Bitcoin's value to $1 million.
Trump's Return and Chinese Economic Model
Hayes believes that if Trump returns to office, he could implement economic strategies similar to China's by expanding the money supply to spur rapid economic growth.
Impact of a Weaker Dollar on Bitcoin
A weaker dollar would increase the appeal of alternative assets, particularly Bitcoin, as investors seek to hedge against inflation and potential currency devaluation.
Bitcoin as a Hedge Against Currency Devaluation
Hayes emphasizes that Bitcoin could become a central part of discussions about the future of alternative assets amid economic and political changes in the US.
According to Hayes, the potential dollar depreciation, combined with a revival of manufacturing and an increase in the money supply, could lead to Bitcoin reaching unprecedented levels, making it a significant topic in the realm of alternative assets.
