Overview
Two prominent market commentators are tying macro stress scenarios to crypto positioning. Arthur Hayes argues Bitcoin is acting as a “fiat liquidity fire alarm,” warning that AI-driven job losses could translate into credit strain and ultimately a policy response that benefits Bitcoin. Separately, Robert Kiyosaki reiterates a looming stock-crash warning and says he is looking to Bitcoin and Ethereum—alongside gold and silver—as scarce assets to hold or add during panic.
