Bitcoin maximalist Max Keiser has made a bold prediction regarding how much could flow into the BTC ecosystem if the bond markets collapse. The expert also alluded to the increase in money printing and why the flagship crypto remains the best hedge against a potential economic downturn.
In an X post, Max Keiser warned that the global source of cheap funds for 30 years, Japan, is cracking, with its bond yields reaching new highs. He further remarked that if a bond-selling avalanche contagion were to go global, then $250 trillion in capital could migrate into the BTC ecosystem.
Keiser’s Bitcoin prediction followed a post by market commentator The Kobeissi Letter, in which they highlighted how Japan’s stock market had fallen by 2.5% as Japanese bond yields extended their run into record territory. They declared that Japan is just a glimpse of what will happen to the U.S. if it doesn’t solve its deficit spending crisis.
Notably, the Trump administration passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” earlier this year, which raised concerns that it could add up to $3 trillion to the country’s rising debt. Back then, Max Keiser predicted that the BTC rally to $2.2 million was imminent with the passing of the tax-cutting bill.
Meanwhile, BitMEX Co-founder Arthur Hayes recently opined that the money-printing cycle has just begun and that he expects not only the U.S. but also other governments to print more money in massive proportions. This is one of the reasons he predicted that the Bitcoin bull cycle may extend to 2026.
In another X post, Max Keiser indicated that Bitcoin is the best hedge against money printing. This comes just as the Fed cut rates by 25 basis points (bps), the first cut this year. He noted that this is part of the plan in DC to accelerate money printing, so that the economic imbalances will increase and social cohesion will collapse.
He advised investors to opt out of this financial norm by investing in BTC. The Bitcoin maximalist also highlighted how, over the past 45 years, the economy has become increasingly financialized and securitized, which has tilted the playing field in favor of those closest to the money printer.
Keiser was reacting to a statistic that the top 1% of U.S. earners now have more wealth than the entire middle class. He remarked that the bottom 99% are rightfully upset as “fiat money scammers” have rug-pulled them. Unlike fiat, the expert believes that the flagship crypto helps level the playing field and preserve wealth.
