What else does Arthur Hayes write about? The former BitMEX chief also predicts that the price of gold will reach $10 000. He argues that bitcoin and gold will become the main investments for citizens. Hayes attributes this to the fact that in an economic crisis, people have more confidence in assets with a limited supply.
