What other statements have been made? The former head of Bitmex believes that any digital asset held by banks can be confiscated. In the case of bitcoin, this is almost impossible. It is outside the system and “outside money,” has no physical form and is easily convertible into other types of assets. In addition, under conditions of war, there is a growth of free markets, and if goods in those markets will be priced in an electronic currency, bitcoin will be that currency. Arthur Hayes also emphasized that now is the best time to buy the first cryptocurrency so that ordinary people can protect their wealth.

His prediction is based on two factors: a loosening of monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve System (Fed) and the network’s successful transition to the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. According to him, the combination of these conditions will contribute to the growth of the asset’s price.
