BitMEX Co-Founder Predicts Fed Eases Policy
4.9
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said in a blog post Monday that the US Federal Reserve could ease its hawkish monetary policy to help finance a potential conflict with Iran, which he expects would boost crypto markets. Hayes cites past episodes (Gulf War 1990, post-9/11, 2009 surge) where he says the Fed cut rates or expanded money supply, and advises buying Bitcoin after any Fed easing.
Key Points
- 1Predicts Fed could cut rates and expand money supply to finance US conflict with Iran.
- 2Argues historical precedence in 1990, 2001, and 2009 links military action to monetary easing.
- 3Recommends buying Bitcoin and select altcoins immediately after Fed cuts or prints money.
Scoring Rationale
Moderate novelty and direct trading guidance, limited by single-source opinion and speculative geopolitical claims, reducing credibility.
