Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes predicts a major crypto sell-off around Trump's January 20, 2025, inauguratio. π°π
π Hayes argues that Trump's disruptive policies, aimed at rapid economic change, will create high expectations but fall short due to the complexity of the issues at hand.
π Key points:
βͺοΈTrumpβs reindustrialization agenda will likely involve a massive dollar devaluation, especially against gold, early in 2025.
βͺοΈThis shift could destabilize global markets, creating uncertainty in crypto and equities.
βͺοΈHayes anticipates a temporary dip in crypto prices, followed by a long-term bull market fueled by increased fiat money printing and financial repression worldwide.
π§ His advice? Be cautious of short-term volatility but prepare for a Bitcoin and crypto resurgence as the monetary system adapts to "Trump Truth."
