Arthur Hayes: Currently, I will not increase my Bitcoin holdings until the Federal Reserve resumes printing money

Arthur Hayes recently stated on a podcast that, although he is bullish on Bitcoin in the long term (predicting it will reach $250,000 by the end of 2026), he will not buy any Bitcoin until the Federal Reserve (Fed) eases monetary policy and restarts the "printing press."

Hayes pointed out that while the market generally believes that war is good for Bitcoin, in reality, it is "money printing that is good for Bitcoin." He is concerned that the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East could lead to a massive sell-off in U.S. stocks and Bitcoin, potentially triggering a liquidation cascade that could push Bitcoin below $60,000.

Currently, the price of Bitcoin is around $69,926, down 45% from the historical high (ATH) of $126,000 set last October. He emphasized that the best buying opportunity will be when the Fed reintroduces liquidity to support military spending or alleviate market pressures.
