Can BTC realistically serve as a safe-haven or inflation hedge in its current form — or is that only possible after further adoption and reduced volatility?
To get an answer to this question, you just need to look at the rise in the cost of bitcoin over a period of several years (4-5 years due to the
BTC-cycles during which there are recessions), which clearly exceeds current inflation.
Is Bitcoin more like digital gold, or more like tech stock beta with a harder monetary policy?
I prefer the "tech stock" version, but it should be taken into account that bitcoin is being transformed (usage), since initially bitcoin was intended for completely different purposes. Therefore, I don't exclude that in the future the community may start using bitcoin in a different
guise.
What macro conditions would need to be in place for BTC to truly act like a hedge — and not a high-beta risk asset?
It seems to me that at the moment bitcoin is already a fairly reliable asset, and not a risky one.
Let’s challenge the thesis and unpack what it means for Bitcoin's future role in global finance 🧠
As I said above, the future role of bitcoin may change. Maybe even several times. Therefore, it is difficult to say what exactly the meaning of btc will be in the future.
