‘Bitcoin is the exit door’ – Jack Mallers warns of USD fall

    Jack Mallers cautioned that the Fed easing cycle will devalue USD savings. 
    But it would boost BTC and gold’s value; hence, he urged switching to BTC.

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye for market trends and a knack for spotting opportunities, I find Jack Mallers’ insights particularly intriguing. His perspective on the Fed’s easing cycle and its potential impact on USD savings resonates with my own observations.


Jack Mallers, CEO and founder of Bitcoin [BTC]-focused payment platform Strike, has urged investors with U.S. dollar savings to be cautious as the Fed easing cycle begins. 

Based on the executive’s statement, the infusion of liquidity by the Fed, often referred to as “money printing,” could make U.S. dollar savings seem less potent due to their potential decrease in value.

He said those saving in USD would be better off in BTC

“The Federal Reserve has started reducing interest rates. In other words, the costs of their decisions are being passed on to people holding U.S. dollars. It might be wise to consider moving your funds out of dollars. Bitcoin could serve as an alternative option in such a situation.” #Bitcoin might offer an escape route for many investors.

Fed easing cycle to boost BTC

He added that the Fed’s money printing will eventually boost assets like BTC, but not USD savings. 

“Printing money, isn’t printing growth. In reality, it destroys those holding the currency. So, if you’re living off the USD value, your life will worsen over the next few years. It will only benefit those that can afford assets like Bitcoin.” 

Mallers pointed out that it might be advantageous for individuals to have a small amount of Bitcoin (BTC), as he believes the value of both gold and Bitcoin could surge significantly during the period of Federal Reserve’s monetary easing.

The leader at Strike is among the prominent advocates for Bitcoin as a form of investment, who strongly believe in its potential to provide an effective safeguard against the erosion of value caused by the depreciation of the US dollar due to increasing inflation.

Mike Novogratz from Galaxy Digital, a well-known figure in this field, has once again voiced concerns over the escalating U.S. debt levels and their potential influence on inflation rates.

At the start of the year, Novogratz expressed his view that if the United States fails to address its financial issues, Bitcoin and digital expansion are likely to persist.

In a September report, BlackRock expressed similar views, highlighting Bitcoin as an exceptional portfolio diversifier. A section of their report stated that Bitcoin offers unique advantages as part of an investment strategy.

In the future, the path of Bitcoin’s acceptance could be influenced significantly by the level of worry about the worldwide financial system’s stability, international politics, the durability of the U.S. fiscal structure, and the political stability of the United States.

To put it another way, Bitcoin (BTC) tends to react as a ‘risk-on’ investment, showing a strong negative correlation with geopolitical conflicts. In contrast, gold does not exhibit this same response to geopolitical tensions.

As per findings from Presto Research, Bitcoin (BTC) exhibited both risky and cautious characteristics, but its risk-taking nature was more prominent in the short run.

The asset was valued at $60.5K at press time, down 6% in the past seven days of trading.
