Longtime Investment Analyst Identifies Bitcoin’s Biggest Issue

Jim Bianco, a well-known analyst, recently stated on Twitter that Bitcoin has a narrative issue because it failed to work as an inflation hedge.

According to Bianco, during the past six months, BTC has traded in lockstep with S&P 500 futures.

As long as cryptocurrencies and stocks continue to trade in tandem, there will be a substantial correlation.

According to Bianco, BTC is actually the same as “a leveraged ES degen.”

“I’ve argued it should not be this way, by it is, and continues so,” the analyst wrote.

Bianco thinks that Bitcoin secretly hopes for more money printing even if it has previously criticized the Federal Reserve’s ultra-easy monetary policy because risk assets often profit from low interest rates and various types of quantitative easing.

This is a significant issue for Bitcoin’s long-term goals

The most recent quarter for Bitcoin saw its worst performance in more than ten years. The Nasdaq Composite, which is heavily weighted toward technology and frequently correlates highly with cryptocurrencies, had its worst quarter since 2008.

The failure of BTC to provide a safe harbor during the market volatility in 2022 supports the notion that the biggest cryptocurrency is genuinely a risk-free investment.

One of the top US banks, Bank of America, stated in May that Bitcoin wasn’t a practical portfolio diversifier because of its propensity to behave similarly to stocks. Therefore, the biggest cryptocurrency cannot be used as a hedge against inflation.

Despite extremely significant inflation, BTC is down more than 69% from its record high.
