Америкалык миллиардер Пол Тюдор Джонс III

The legendary hedge fund manager – Paul Tudor Jones III – said he will always keep a “small” exposure to bitcoin since it is “the only thing that humans can’t adjust the supply in.” 

The American billionaire also suggested that the US Federal Reserve will cease its aggressive interest rate hike policy. Many experts previously opined that such a move could benefit the entire cryptocurrency industry and positively affect BTC’s price. 

BTC Investor for Life 

Prominent legacy investor Paul Tudor Jones, who entered bitcoin’s ecosystem in 2017, seems to remain tied to the primary cryptocurrency for the rest of his life. In a recent интервью CNBC үчүн ал ар дайым экспозицияга ээ болууга ант берип, анын 21 миллион монетадан турган туруктуу камсыздоосун мактады:

«Башынан бери мен ар дайым ага бир аз бөлгүм келет деп айткам, анткени бул чоң окуя. Бул адамдар камсыз кылууну жөндөй албаган жалгыз нерсе. Ошондуктан мен аны карманып жатам; Мен аны дайыма карманып турам. Бул менин портфелдеги кичинекей диверсификация».

For some HODLers who have been present long enough in the space to witness BTC trading at nearly $70,000, the current valuation could seem like a good buying opportunity. Such is the case with Jones, who said he “would probably” purchase more of it.

Мындан тышкары, миллиардер АКШдагы инфляциялык чөйрөгө жана ФРСтин маселени чечүү аракетине токтолду. Анын айтымында, май айынын башындагы борбордук банктын пайыздык ченди көтөрүүсү (эсептик көрсөткүчтү 5%-5.25%ке жеткирүү) акыркысы болду. 

Higher rates result in higher borrowing costs which logically lowers consumer spending and makes risky investments (such as dealing with crypto) less appealing. Numerous experts have argued that the opposite scenario could trigger a bull run for digital assets.

One example is Anthony Scaramucci – the Founder of SkyBridge Capital and former White House official – who мындай деди::

«ФРД 4% дан 5%га чейинки инфляцияда жеңишти жарыялайт деп ишенем. Эгер мен туура айтсам, базарда кайра жандануу болот. Криптодо көп кыска жабуу болот жана тобокелдик активдер кайра жаралат.

Paul Tudor Jones’ Crypto Journey

The 68-year-old billionaire initially bought Bitcoin in 2017 at around $10,000 and later doubled his money by selling at $20K. 

His more notable interaction with the asset began in the spring of 2020 (shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the financial world) when he сатылып алынган BTC as a hedge against inflation. Back then, the American forecasted that inflation would surge in a short period of time, prompted by the mass printing of fiat currency by central banks. 

“The best profit-maximizing strategy is to own the faster horse. If I am forced to forecast, my bet is it will be Bitcoin,” he stated.

His prediction came true, with inflation hitting record levels in many parts of the globe. On the other hand, BTC skyrocketed to almost $70K at the end of 2021 before diving in 2022. Still, the asset started the ongoing year on the right foot, reclaiming some of its lost ground. 

Paul Tudor Jones’ support towards BTC has risen so much in the following years that at one point, he деп it superior to gold as a hedge against inflation:

“I do think we’re moving into an increasingly digitized world. Clearly, there’s a place for crypto, and clearly, it’s winning the race against gold at the moment, right?”
