...a hot war in the Middle East by March-April 2025. Possibly kicked off as early as February.
They will need a "reason" to crash markets (and thus rates back to zero).
I guess we'll see.
Do not “over-conspiracy” at some point BTC needs to decouple from some things
War’s can easily crash a lot of things, but at the same time it also possible for BTC to rise to some new highs.
Yeah, I could see how you would read what I wrote as being bearish BTC news.
I wasn't being down on BTC. I guess I was unclear when I said "markets".
I don't consider BTC to be a traditional market. Although with the algo bots and ETFs, they have tied it a little bit to the larger trad market.
The last time all markets crashed in March 2020, BTC and the PM's initially went down too (remember Mindrust?)
But then BTC and PMs went on a tear to all new ATHs because traders and algo bots were front running the absolute flood of freshly printed cheap Fed dollars.
This will indeed happen again.
It's not a matter of "if", but "when".
Remember, history has shown us that in the past, the Fed has *never* prevented an economic hard landing. Not ever.
