TD₿:Did the Fed Just Ignite the Bitcoin Bull Run? - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: The Fed's 0.5% rate cut signals a new cycle. BlackRock's report backs Bitcoin as a hedge against crises, while Ethereum fades after its ETF flop. Could $60K Bitcoin be the new $10K?
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today’s video, Hurley cover the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate cut cycle in over four years, with a 0.5% reduction. This trend is important as lower rates lead to increased liquidity, which historically correlates with Bitcoin price increases. Bitcoin was designed to counter central bank manipulation of money by having a hard supply cap and automated issuance.
BlackRock has published a report endorsing Bitcoin as a hedge against various risks, positioning it as a unique diversifier. Meanwhile, Ethereum is struggling, particularly after the failure of its much-anticipated ETF launch, further diminishing its relevance.
There is growing optimism that Bitcoin could enter a new bull market, with $60,000 possibly becoming the new $10,000 from a previous cycle. However, caution is advised, as the market remains unpredictable.
Enjoy!
