A recession is coming
Bitcoin is supposed to be deflationary, but it hasn’t acted like a deflationary asset. As interest rates rise, almost all assets of value fall.
It turns out that Bitcoin is a store of value. So what does that mean? It means that investors have poured into BTC as a way to create a backstop should the stock market, real estate market, and other markets fall.
If a recession is coming, and it appears it is on the horizon, Bitcoin’s price could fall because investors will turn BTC into cash to pay debt.
What I think now is BTC is a Safe-Haven Asset, My reasoning is during times of economic uncertainty or recession, Bitcoin has shown the characteristics of a safe-haven asset. Some investors view Bitcoin as a hedge against traditional financial markets and fiat currencies, seeing it as a store of value that can preserve wealth amidst economic turbulence. As a result, an increase in the demand for Bitcoin during a recession has the potential to push its price higher rather than causing a significant drop.
BTC price movements may become less correlated with traditional assets but if you take a deeper look at the birth of the rising market Maturity means the increased presence of institutional investors could contribute to Bitcoin's ability to set itself apart from broader market trends, potentially mitigating the impact of a recession on price. . If confidence in Bitcoin's potential as a digital store of value remains strong, it could offset short-term selling pressures and reduce downside rates, thereby increasing confidence in Bitcoin and potentially contributing to its price appreciation, even during a recession.
2. The Biden Administration isn’t a fan
President Biden and Treasury Secretary Yellen are exploring the idea of a digital currency that the U.S. Government controls.
A U.S. digital currency would hinder Bitcoin’s price because the government could decide to temper enthusiasm regarding the world’s first cryptocurrency.
Take a look in terms of Use Cases. I think the introduction of a US government controlled digital currency does not necessarily mean direct competition or a headwind on the price of Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies can coexist and serve different purposes. While government digital currencies may focus on providing a centralized, regulated form of digital payment, Bitcoin's value proposition lies in its decentralized nature, scarcity, and potential as a store of value in the end. These unique characteristics can continue to attract investors and users, regardless of the digital currency. government led.
Concrete examples The recognition and acceptance of Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class by large financial institutions, corporations and even governments (such as El Salvador which adopted Bitcoin as legal tender) demonstrates increasing acceptance and understanding of its potential value, regardless of the digital currency it controls government.
