💬 So I want to hear from the community:
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?
You might not understand the worth of Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation until you live in a country that it's currency is losing value. I live in a place where our currency has lost 40% of its value in six months. The price of everything went high, but people who kept their money in Bitcoin were not affected.
Is Bitcoin more like digital gold, or more like tech stock beta with a harder monetary policy?
I can accept that Bitcoin is digital gold. But it is worth more than gold because it has a cap.
What macro conditions would need to be in place for BTC to truly act like a hedge — and not a high-beta risk asset?
The price of Bitcoin traditionally goes high after every four years. If your country is going through inflation, it would be better to convert your fiat to Bitcoin and just hodl for four years and above.
