Bitcoin to the Rescue? Trade Wars and Print Frenzies Got Nothing on Crypto 🚀💸

So, Arthur Hayes, that guy who started BitMEX, popped up with a hot take: Bitcoin (BTC) might just be the clingy ex that benefits from the messy US-China breakup and all the trade drama. 🍿

Chatting with Felix Jauvin on Forward Guidance, Arthur spills the tea: governments worldwide are gonna crank the money printer like it’s Black Friday, trying to soften the chaos of global trade imploding – and guess what? Bitcoin loves that kind of chaos. 🤑

“China’s not flying solo here. Every big economy’s gonna be printing cash like it’s confetti at a wedding trying to survive this awkward global breakup. Bottom line? More printing = Bitcoin smiles.”

“Look, the US has this wonky math thing going on: the current account deficit means someone else’s holding a financial surplus. All those dollars made selling stuff to America ended up ticking boxes in Treasury bonds and giant US tech stocks—the famous Mag 7. If Trump seriously wants to shrink that account to zero, foreigners gotta unload stocks. Just simple math, darling.”

“And then, the big question: can Uncle Sam’s wallet survive if capital gains taxes crash because the market’s not buzzing? Spoiler: nope. So, cue more money printing and Bitcoin gets to be the popular kid by finally ditching tech’s shadow thanks to all this financial drama.”

Some folks in cryptoworld dream of central banks dumping gold and buying loads of Bitcoin to hedge their bets. But Arthur’s like, “Nah, they’re too cozy with gold — that shiny old thing they actually get, with all its dusty history lessons.” 📚✨

At the moment, Bitcoin is clocking in at $94,832, sneaking up 1.2% over the last day. Not bad for a digital diva in the chaos circus.
