Arthur Hayes, the CEO of the crypto exchange BitMEX, has recently shared the major reason why Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, will trade at $1 million in the future.
According to Hayes in a new article, Bitcoin (BTC) has the potential to trade at millions of dollars level in the future because governments around the world will not cease from devaluing their respective currencies through continued money printing.
The CEO stated that due to fiat currencies devaluation, commodities such as Gold and Bitcoin are expected to experience a massive rise in price:
“As gold marches its way above $10,000, bitcoin will march its way to $1,000,000. The bear market in fiat currencies will trigger the largest wealth transfer the world has ever seen.”
In the article, Hayes notes that Bitcoin (BTC) has an advantage over other comparable commodities, such as gold, when it comes to ease of storage and mobility.
Arthur Hayes noted:

“That weighs essentially nothing, and can be accessed anywhere there is internet. This is the value proposition from a storage and transfer perspective of Bitcoin over gold.”
Meanwhile, Arthur Hayes and other BitMEX co-founders, Benjamin Delo and Samuel Reed plead guilty to breaking a law in the United States earlier this month. The law requires financial institutions to help the government detect and fight money laundering schemes.
