No,\u201d he said. \u201cI would wait. I think that the longer that this conflict goes on, the higher the likelihood that the Fed has to print money to support the American war machine, and that\u2019s when I\u2019m going to buy Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, he cautioned against trying to time the moment, noting that most people are following the same mainstream coverage and could likely misread the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Asked why he thought BTC had underperformed over the past 6 to 9 months, the former BitMEX CEO pointed to what he described as a liquidity deficit rather than weak demand for the king cryptocurrency itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBitcoin is a liquidity alarm,\u201d he stated, arguing that AI-driven job displacement is quietly building deflationary pressure in the U.S. economy. In his view, there isn\u2019t enough dollar liquidity to offset the other demands on capital, especially spending by large tech companies building out data center infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h2>No Grand Schemes to Suppress Bitcoin<\/h2>\n<p>Hayes also pushed back on the idea that institutions or large market makers like Jane Street have been <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitwise-cio-matt-hougan-rejects-jane-street-blame-for-bitcoin-dip\/\">suppressing<\/a> the price of BTC.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything nefarious or like some evil conspiracy of Jane Street and other market makers to try to manipulate prices lower,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The crypto trader attributed most such claims to investors looking for someone to blame after bad entries and advised anyone without a professional trading setup to completely avoid leverage and short-term positions.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, he described himself as \u201cstructurally very, very long Bitcoin and other coins,\u201d adding that there\u2019s currently a much stronger need for stateless money than when Bitcoin launched in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Hayes\u2019s comments have come with Bitcoin trading just under the $70,000 mark following months of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/months-more-bitcoin-consolidation-expected-as-long-term-holder-activity-decreases\/\">sideways<\/a> price action. However, unlike the BitMEX co-founder\u2019s suggestion that the asset could dip to $60,000, analyst Markus Thielen believes that the way BTC brushed off rising oil prices and geopolitical noise in the past week was a bullish sign, which <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/geopolitics-fail-to-break-bitcoin-analyst-eyes-80k-upside-ahead\/\">made<\/a> a move toward $80,000 more likely.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/heres-when-arthur-hayes-will-buy-bitcoin-again\/\">Here\u2019s When Arthur Hayes Will Buy Bitcoin Again<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has said that he would not buy Bitcoin (BTC) today if he only had $1 to invest.
