Jack Mallers, CEO of the payment app Strike, has shared an optimistic outlook on Bitcoin for 2025, even as BTC hovers around the $100,000 mark.
In a recent discussion with crypto influencer Natalie Brunell, Mallers highlighted his belief that the US dollar is on track for a significant decline, driven by ongoing quantitative easing (QE). Historically, such a trend has been favorable for Bitcoin.
While he remains confident in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects, Mallers cautioned that short-term fluctuations are likely. He explained that a weaker dollar is almost a certainty, which bodes well for Bitcoin, as it serves as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.
However, Mallers noted that the coming months could be turbulent for the crypto market, with volatility expected to persist for a couple of months.
The uncertainty surrounding the political landscape, with new leadership in the US, is contributing to this unpredictability. Mallers emphasized that markets typically respond to certainty, and with the current lack of it, volatility is inevitable.
Despite the short-term turbulence, he remains confident that Bitcoin will outperform as the year progresses, driven by its ability to maintain its value amid a weakening dollar.
Billionaire investor Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has suggested that a balanced investment portfolio should include up to 15% allocation to gold or Bitcoin, though he remains personally more inclined toward the traditional asset.
With Bitcoin hovering near $119,000, traders are weighing their next move carefully. The question dominating the market now is simple: Buy the dip or wait for a cleaner setup?
