Why Institutions are Feeling Bitcoin FOMO?
As we see the major reason why every Institution wants to jump into Bitcoin seems to be the eroding value of dollar. With more and more free money being distributed by Govt. as stimulus dollar is getting weaker with every passing month. MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor in an interview said,
“What we’re trying to do is preserve our treasury, the purchasing power of the cash is debasing rapidly.”
US Dollar has lost almost 10% of its value against foreign currencies since peaking in march and reached its lowest level in August since 2018.
It is only a matter of time that most institutions start investing in Bitcoin as a hedge against eroding value of US Dollar.
