Topic: Fed policy on Bitcoin worries investors, how do you react? (Read 327 times)

The FED's policy of raising interest rates higher generally means a lower appetite for high-risk or high-return assets like other cryptocurrencies bitcoin. And in theory, this means that the crypto market in particular bitcoin will experience a decline in price at various points this year, and while the returns are likely to be small, it won't dampen investors' appetite for bitcoin. And whatever happens to bitcoin's decline only applies to the short term considering that the long term remains bright, so there's no need to worry and actually FED's policy doesn't affect bitcoin prices, only many people or investors panic selling.

The Fed's policy is just one of the fundamental factors to consider when analyzing. No more, no less

I wouldn't say "inflation won't last forever", especially when there's no indication both the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war will be ending soon. Even experts said we're going to have to learn to live with COVID-19 for the foreseeable future. If the economic recession extends itself for a long period of time, then "hyperinflation" will be inevitable. What prevents Bitcoin from rising in price is not inflation, but rather the FED's "hawkish" stance of strengthening the US Dollar. A stronger USD, means a lower-priced BTC on the market. The opposite happens when the USD becomes weaker.

I'm pretty sure the FED will change its stance soon in order to prevent the USD from becoming too strong against other currencies. Once that happens, BTC and other major cryptocurrencies will only go up in price. Who knows if the year of the next BTC halving (2024) will be a big one for the entire crypto/Blockchain industry? Just my opinion

FED policy means money going in or out of the market and that’s why it impacts everything. If the rates are high, then there is a guarantee return on their investment so many wealthy people move their money into interest rate earning stuff. If the rate is low then wealthy people start looking for other things that could earn them a decent money.

Bitcoin is of course risky in either way when you have billions, but many people could still decide to invest if the rates are low enough. If the gold market, stock market, and many others are impacted by the decisions FED gives, then we are going to end up seeing that in the crypto market and there is nothing shocking about that.

Fed policy affects a lot of other financial markets, not just bitcoin, and there is nothing we can do against it. The only thing we can do is keep buying every time bitcoin drops in price and wait patiently. Despite the fact that inflation can last for a long time, it won't last forever, and at some point things will return to normal once again, so don't worry about the things we can't handle. The ongoing crisis will be a danger to many but also an opportunity for others. Opportunity or risk is only different in each person's perspective.

The FED's "hawkish" policies are only meant to ease inflation within the short term (effectively strengthening the US Dollar in the process). But they're not a definite solution to fix the economy. As long as the FED keeps the USD on a strong margin, risk assets like Bitcoin and stocks won't be experiencing gains anytime soon. Investors would most likely hold USD in their wallets while it's going strong. Only the weakening of the USD could take back BTC to its original price levels.

I'm really in no hurry to see this happen as long as Bitcoin sticks to its core fundamentals of decentralization and censorship-resistance. Instead of complaining about BTC's price going all the way down the drain, people should buy BTC now before the market turns bullish. Remember, wealth is built during bear markets (not bull markets). As long as you play your cards right, you'll be on a certain road towards becoming extremely wealthy within the not-so-distant future. Just my opinion

I see with the fed policy on Bitcoin, it is one of the problems that worries investors, but like your opinion, fiscal problems also make investors worried about investing in Bitcoin,
I personally hope that everything that happens now will return to normal as before. Amen

It's not so much that the fed policy on Bitcoin worries investors; it's more so that fed policy on a lot of fiscal matters worries just about everyone.  Bitcoin is get dragged as a result.

It's quite simple the way you invest, continue to buy consistently low amounts, but if our funds are more not a problem like you do, while we can only buy a few coins with the hope of short-term profits, with current conditions we see High inflation makes us not have enough side funds to invest, it is true what you say that we do not know what will happen, maybe next month or next year big profits await us.

maybe in the midst of this worry will make the price of bitcoin go down a little. but I think this time the fed policy will not have much effect on bitcoin. because we have been in a bear market for a long time so people's psychology is used to any situation. the panic had subsided a little. but still psychological recovery still can not be seen in the near future. so bitcoin's rise is likely to be delayed. maybe bitcoin has increased. but the increase is not so much. so what I can do today is to pay in installments from the current lowest price. because the market could be sideways a little longer. DYOR.

This won't be the first time The Fed are thrown in such investigations, I could remember even the EU ones had a meeting of the power consumption of Bitcoin mining. It's long tussle from the government to either have good control of Crypto-currency or restrict it.

So speaking as an investor I don't think this is worrisome to me and if the price of Bitcoin would be affected by this it won't be of tangible measures. In between as a genuine crypto-currency enthusiast I think I am of the believe that some fraudulent activities that highly needs investigation should be open for the government to investigate it, I don't believe crypto-currency space should be an alternative shelter for fraudsters or illegal activities.

Bitcoin price has been weakening everyday since past 6 months you are talking about just today? I hardly think this daily news about FED is impacting btc these days, earlier I used to think there is some effect of these things but trust me BTC has given exactly the opposite reaction on very same kind of policies and then people just keep on giving their rationals behind the price movement. Also what do you think is this psychological level you are talking about? As per me there was a psychological level which is hardly relevant now which was 35k or the 200EMA basically, It's really a long way to go back there right now.

What I have learnt recently is that the economy is interconnected and bitcoin is part and parcel of the economy we live in. I was thinking that by the design and nature of bitcoin, when other sector of the economy is affected or when there is universal inflation, bitcoin will stand out. But I have come to the great realization that bitcoin is well integrated in the economy.
For the question of whether bitcoin will recover, I am so confident about that. Bitcoin is not close to her end. There are more and more use case and adoption of bitcoin world wide. Btc is penetrating seriously.

If the news is about the USA and it's the board of the forum in English, why isn't the article in English as well? And when I google 'US Fed policy Bitcoin', I see nothing from the last couple of weeks, so I'm really not sure which policies and which impact on Bitcoin the op is referring to. In any case, I think that Bitcoin is safer than fiat because it's not directly a part of the global economy and isn't necessarily affected by fiat policies, trade restrictions, certainly not by fiat inflation. Bitcoin isn't doing great, but the price isn't going below $19-20k, so it's roughly the way it has been throughout the summer.

Global economy is in a slump and Bitcoin's price is generally tied to the state of the global economy. Predicting Bitcoin's price on micro levels is no better than a coin flip if you want to try contextualize fed policy with the crypto world.


Hyperinflation are the last breaths of a currency. I don't see euros collapsing any time soon nor do most people. It's also probably true that 9 percent inflation isn't the ceiling either. When the energy crisis worsens in the winter time, businesses will collapse in on themselves and wage increases will be only a fraction of the inflation rate. I don't believe the EU can responsibly pull themselves out.

Long term, yes. Bitcoin will definitely return to its level last year and even surpass it. When? That is the question no one can answer.

The economic crisis that we experience now won't last forever and the government will also suffer if they don't resolve it soon. Let's also add that cryptocurrencies went parabolic last year so it's normal for them to make a correction after that happens. Usually this season where cryptos are down or what we call bear cycle last for few years and if you will based on bitcoin's price history, it will recover again before or after its halving on 2024.

the article is about FIAT interest rates/inflation(for those that didnt click/use a translator)

it mentions the under 1% change in 24 hours.. thus topic is a story of no importance based on the content of the topic message

however based on the topic title
right now everyone is seeing that inflation/hyper inflation means products,, goods and possessions are going to increase in price this year, and so everyone is trying to buy up and stockpile the physical goods of their lifestyle they may need this-next year, before they cost more.

this means selling investments to buy these things this this invested cash.
later once all mid-longterm goods are bought up to be prepared for the real world physical goods price rise. people will then not need to buy that stuff in the mid-long term. thus have spare disposable cash to invest again to hedge against inflation.
(no point putting cash under the mattress as it loses value in an inflation event))
so that economic game will take time over next 3month-2years)

however the mining events, of new efficient asics being released in april-june caused the hashrate to peak and comedown where people replaced 2 old gen asics for 1 new asic to be more powerful while using less energy,
however now in sepember even more asics are now switching on which is causing the hashrate competition to now kick in again, raising the bottomline cost of mining a bitcoin due to new hashrate increases. and also with the energy prices increasing, which will affect everyones overall costs. which should see people re-evaluate if they want to be a miner for increasing cost, or just a buyer.

this will result on a push of the price because those with high energy costs wont want to mine btc anymore. and instead just straight up buy bitcoin

It's not only crypto market that are affected with the Fed policies but even the US Stock market as well.

I've watched some youtube videos and I will agree with them that we might see a stagnant market this year whether it will be stock market or crypto market. Now with regards to Bitcoin bouncing back at it's psychological level, it depends on what is your psychological level because I think that term is very broad and general and different investors have different psychological levels.

Overall, I will just say that Bitcoin might be going sideways between $20,000 and $30,000 until the end of the year. Just don't expect that something good will happen with the crypto market because the Fed already said that they will continue to increase the interest rates until the end of the year and that means negative sentiment to the investors.

Is there something that should we be worried about with that news you've shared? Well, that's been happening with every FED-related news and with every financial market news.
There's always the uncertainty that this news is bringing to the bitcoin market but we're used to it and that's not a new thing that we should worry about.
How do I react to it? I just react to nothing and just let it pass since it's always happening because this is a speculative market.

Have they been able to ruin bitcoin yet? It's been over a decade now. Bitcoin survived from USD value nothing to over $20k now. I don't understand why would anyone need to bring what Fed thinks about bitcoin and publicize it.

Sometimes in March 2020 when it was below $4k everyone was panicking and thinking it's gone LOL. And then we saw over $69K of course.
