2. Arthur Hayes: Firmly believes we are still in a bull market cycle, with the worst-case scenario seeing Bitcoin drop to $70,000.
I'm not sure if it will fall to that level. A positive indicator of dollar liquidity is that the U.S. Treasury's total account balance is decreasing, which is equivalent to a liquidity injection. I expect there will be another opportunity at lower levels around $80,000. If the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100 corrects by 20% to 30% from their all-time highs, and a major financial institution faces bankruptcy risk, we could experience a synchronized downturn in the global markets. That would mean all risk assets would be affected together, and Bitcoin could fall below $80,000 again, possibly down to $70,000. Whatever happens, we will cautiously buy the dip on the way down, not using leverage, and wait for the eventual global financial upheaval (especially in the U.S.), which will bring Bitcoin to $1,000,000 or higher.
