For him, BTC will reach 1 million dollars in the coming years thanks to Donald Trump's policy which will make it ” the most important currency in history ».
Arthur Hayes indicated that he based his analysis on the fact that the possibilities of bank credits would increase during the mandate of Donald Trump, the latter seeking to reorganize American industry.
For him, this expansion of the supply of bank credits will take place when industry players seek to obtain subsidies to carry out their projects. « However, these loans will erode the equity reserves of American lenders, which will likely prompt the Federal Reserve to intervenewhich, one thing leading to another, could weaken the dollar » he explains.

In addition to this hypothesis, other arguments support the fact that the price of BTC can continue to rise : the next creation a strategic reserve in Bitcoin and a clear legislative framework in the United States, the use of cryptocurrency as a reserve asset in the private sector, or the dedollarization movement coupled with ever-present inflation.
