Bitcoin Seen as Pure Play on Global Liquidity Amid Rising Money Printing
Santiago Capital CEO Brent Johnson believes Bitcoin is not just a store of value, but also a 'pure play' on global liquidity. According to him, as more money is printed globally, it will flow into digital assets like BTC and stablecoins.
The 'Dollar Milkshake Theory', which suggests that when the US dollar strengthens, global markets and currencies suffer, may not apply in this case, Johnson argues. Instead, he expects a sovereign debt crisis to make the dollar stronger, but also lead to higher interest rates and reduced liquidity.
Johnson doesn't see Bitcoin replacing the dollar system, but rather as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. He notes that three key market signals, credit spreads, VIX, and the DXY, are all flashing warnings of a potential crisis.
