Bitcoin rises, ARK Invest CEO sees Bitcoin as a hedge against currency devaluation
The price of Bitcoin is currently rising at around $71k, the surge in Bitcoin prices was driven by positive sentiment. The inflow of $646 million into cryptocurrency investment products last week raised the total to an unprecedented $13.8 billion this year.
Sees Bitcoin and gold lately as if there is competition in these two markets where when gold moves stagnant on the other hand Bitcoin is bullish and when Bitcoin corrects, the price of gold soars. Could the two go hand in hand as a safe haven?
SkyBridge Capital’s CEO Anthony Scaramucci predicts Bitcoin could reach $170k. while some gold analysts predict gold prices could reach $3000.
From another perspective, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood sees Bitcoin as a hedge against currency devaluation and wealth erosion.
"I think this is an insurance policy against rogue regimes or against bad fiscal and monetary policies," he explained, as quoted by Bitcoin News.
According to him, the spike in Bitcoin prices was not only due to the impact of funds in the Bitcoin ETF exchange, but also due to currency devaluation, such as what happened in Nigeria, where the Naira fell 50-60% in 9 months, Argentina and Egypt, which also experienced devaluation.
