Famous crypto billionaire Mike Novogratz recently took to his personal account to share concerns that are quite unusual for him. While the Bitcoin price has surpassed $71,600, Mike is drawing attention to a more significant issue. So why is Mike Novogratz worried?
The Fed May Not Cut Interest Rates
As we discussed a few weeks ago, we analyzed a report titled “10 reasons why the Fed may not cut interest rates in 2024” from Apollo Academy experts, and most experts were not agreeing with this idea at that time. However, crypto billionaire Mike now believes it.
You can access our article, which talks in detail about why interest rates will not be cut in 2024 with 10 charts, through the link above. For those who don’t care about the details, we can briefly say this. The Fed has not created the conditions that would necessitate a cut in interest rates, and many metrics that should trigger reductions have been reversing for a while now.
- Core inflation measures are rising.
- Supercore inflation is increasing.
- The labor market is tight, and wage inflation has not weakened as desired.
And there are 7 more reasons we shared in detail.
Mike Novogratz and Crypto
Reducing interest rates would create a very appetizing environment for risk markets. Money will become more accessible, and with monetary expansion, risk markets will attract more demand. In this scenario, we will see assets like BTC, Gold, and Silver appreciate in value, and crypto billionaire Mike Novogratz will make money.
However, Mike is not happy with this situation and he has his reasons. According to him, the US economy is in a big dilemma, and lowering interest rates at this stage does not seem like a good idea.
Mike wrote the following;
“You can call me crazy, but I see no good reason for the Fed to cut interest rates. Yet, I think they will. It’s a great environment for BTC, gold, silver, and copper. But not so much for the US. We need a politician who will significantly cut spending!”
The US debt is constantly rising, and politicians seem to be only capable of raising the debt ceiling. They believe there is no problem as long as the Fed can print as much money as it wants.
