Arthur Hayes stated on the Coin Stories podcast that he won't be putting his last dollar into Bitcoin right now because the Federal Reserve hasn't been forced to expand liquidity.

He maintains his long-term price target for Bitcoin in this cycle between $250,000 and $750,000, but warns that if the US-Iran conflict continues, Bitcoin could fall below $60,000 in the short term.😳😳😳
