Arthur Hayes is still structurally bullish on Bitcoin. He just does not think 
now is the moment to buy. Speaking on the Coin Stories podcast on March 10, 
the BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom CIO said he would stay patient until a 
more familiar macro catalyst arrives: central bank liquidity. In Hayes’ 
telling, a prolonged Iran war and the credit stress that could follow from AI- 
driven economic disruption may ultimately force the Federal Reserve back into 
money printing, and that, rather than the conflict itself, is the signal he is 
waiting for. “If I had $1 to invest right now, would I be putting it into 
Bitcoin? No. I would wait,” Hayes said near the end of the interview. “I think 
that the longer that this conflict goes on, the higher the likelihood that the 
Fed has to print money to support the American war machine and that’s when I’m 
going to buy Bitcoin when the central banks start printing money.” That 
distinction mattered throughout the conversation. Hayes pushed back on the 
idea that war is automatically bullish for Bitcoin, arguing that the real 
transmission mechanism is liquidity expansion. “If you’re saying, ‘Okay, war 
is good for Bitcoin,’ what you’re really saying is war means money printing. 
Money printing is good for Bitcoin,” he said. “So wait for the money printing. 
Don’t try to time it because you could get it wrong.” Related Reading: Bitcoin

Ahead The argument fits a broader framework Hayes laid out across the 
interview: Bitcoin is less a clean debasement trade than a “liquidity alarm,” 
one that is already reacting to tightening conditions, credit stress and a 
lack of fresh dollar creation. He tied that view to the rise of AI, which he 
said could accelerate white-collar job losses, pressure private credit and 
banking exposures, and force markets to price in a much sharper economic break 
than many currently expect. “I think it’s going to happen faster than people 
think just because of the exponential nature of how fast AI is improving,” 
Hayes said. “It only takes 10 to 20% [job displacement]. And then the leverage 
in the banking system will do the rest. At some point the market goes, ‘Oh, 
this is worth zero.’” In that scenario, he said, the market’s recognition of 
the problem could come well before the full economic damage is visible in the 
data. Regional banks, private credit and broader financial equities could 
reprice violently, with deposit flight and emergency Fed support following 
close behind. That is the moment Hayes sees as far more constructive for 
Bitcoin than the current backdrop. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stabilizes, But 
Glassnode Warns Spot Demand Is Still Weak Still, his near-term caution did not 
extend to Bitcoin’s long-run role. Hayes described himself as “structurally 
very very long” crypto and argued that the case for non-state money is 
stronger now than it was at Bitcoin’s launch. He also warned against shaping 
the industry around institutional preferences, saying crypto should not reduce 
itself to a more complicated version of traditional finance. “Bitcoin got from 
zero to whatever $66,000 whatever the price is today with no government 
support, unclear regulations, hostile banking infrastructure and regulators,” 
Hayes said. “So why are we bending over backwards to try to gain acceptance 
from these folks who don’t have our best interest at heart?” He was equally 
dismissive of conspiracy-driven explanations for weak market performance, 
including claims that market makers are deliberately suppressing Bitcoin’s 
price. More often, he said, losses come down to poor positioning, bad timing 
or leverage used by traders who are not equipped for crypto’s pace. For 
investors frustrated that Bitcoin has not delivered instant life-changing 
returns, Hayes’ answer was blunt: adjust expectations. “The market’s job is 
not to make you money. The market’s job is to take your money,” he said, 
arguing that long-term compounding still matters far more than trying to force 
a six-month windfall. At press time, BTC traded at $69,538. Featured image
