🤔 Arthur Hayes: «Bitcoin will exceed $250,000 by the end of the year.»

The analyst published a new essay claiming that the U.S. Federal Reserve no longer controls monetary policy.

In his opinion, the Fed, under pressure from the Ministry of Finance, is moving from the fight against inflation to public debt financing.

The main theses from the essay:

▪️#QT (balance reduction) slows down:
From $25b/month to $5b/month is +$240b of annual dollar liquidity.

▪️#QE (printing press) will probably resume in the coming months, which will create a potential liquidity of +$420b/year.

▪️By analogy with 2008–2009: Gold grew faster than stocks after the launch of QE. Now the same thing can happen with BTC.
