【Block Rhythm】 Recently, an interesting viewpoint has been circulating in the market — Bitcoin has clear advantages over the US dollar. The CEO of a leading exchange stated at the end of December that the value of Bitcoin is not only benchmarked against the US dollar but more importantly, it can serve as a balancing force in the context of high inflation and ongoing fiscal deficits.
This logic actually resonates with many people’s ideas. Traditional currencies face devaluation pressure, while Bitcoin, as a fixed-supply asset, naturally possesses anti-inflation characteristics. In an era of global debt expansion and excessive money issuance, more and more institutional investors are beginning to include Bitcoin in their asset allocations. In other words, from a macroeconomic perspective, Bitcoin is evolving from a speculative asset into a hedging tool. Of course, this process is still ongoing, and market acceptance is gradually increasing.

This CEO is right, the US dollar is now spinning wildly on the printing press. We need to find something that can withstand it.
Check and balance? Ha, Federal Reserve: I'll just see what you can balance... But in the long run, we do need some adjustments.
The problem is, are institutions really building positions, or are they just telling stories to retail investors?
The US dollar has been overissued for so many years. Why are they only bringing this up now? Why didn't they do it earlier?
The fact that the total supply is fixed is indeed impressive. This is the strongest shield Bitcoin has.
It's called a hedging tool in a nice way, but to be blunt, it's still gambling. The key is what price you buy at.
Wait, could this be another crypto influencer hyping things up again...

Stop bragging. Will the Federal Reserve really make Bitcoin counterbalance the US dollar? Wake up.
---
I've heard this logic so many times it’s starting to wear thin. It’s always the same story.
---
Anti-inflation, anti-inflation. Why don’t they mention it when it drops 50%?
---
Institutional allocation is real, but counterbalancing the US dollar? Think again, buddy.
---
It sounds nice, but it’s just them wanting you to take the loss.
---
Inflation is serious, but when it really hits, no one can run away.
---
I believed your nonsense, and I’m still trapped in it.
---
From a speculative asset to a hedge tool, this transition is pretty quick.
---
The US dollar system won’t be so easily shaken; don’t be too naive.
---
People in the crypto world talk about this every day, but what’s the reality?
---
Well, let’s see if it really becomes a counterbalance someday.

This CEO is right, everyone can see the death spiral of inflation
Holding equals devaluation, still need to stash some BTC in the vault
Institutions have already been quietly accumulating, don't wait too long to wake up
From speculative asset to hedging tool, this is a cognitive upgrade, brother
The Fed printing money, I hoard coins, simple and effective
The promised anti-inflation feature, it really has to be tested during a major inflation to count
Will there be another round of hype when institutions enter in 2024? I'm a bit worried that the top is already in
Bitcoin as a counterbalance to the dollar? First, the dollar has to be truly overthrown
The fixed total supply is a solid foundation, definitely more reliable than fiat currency
It all sounds right, but when it comes to critical moments, will we get cut again? Who dares to guarantee?

Listen, no matter how good the macro narrative sounds, it doesn't change one thing — every time institutions enter the market, it's a signal of them taking over. There's always a lower point waiting, be patient.

Sounds good, but the real test is still ahead.
---
Hedging against inflation is a good story, but it depends on someone actually believing in it.
---
It's both a macro narrative and a hedging tool... so is it an investment or gambling?
---
Institutional entry has indeed changed the game rules, but if the Federal Reserve really wants to dump, it's just a matter of minutes.
---
Countering the dollar? Overthinking it haha, right now the dollar can counter whoever it wants.
---
The fixed total supply is indeed solid, much more tangible than inflation expectations.
---
This logic only holds if the whole world recognizes it; but in reality...
---
From speculation to hedging, it feels like this story needs to be told every bull market.
---
It sounds nice, but in reality, it's just a way of criticizing the dollar.
---
The recognition has increased, but the actual allocation ratio of real money remains the same.

This CEO is right, I've been accumulating for a while, just waiting to see what the Federal Reserve does next year.

The CEO of the leading exchange's rhetoric sounds more like he's promoting his own currency... Balancing the US dollar? Wake up, everyone. Once the US dollar's iron gate closes, no matter how tough Bitcoin is, it has to obediently lie down.

Listen to how the major exchanges hype... Anyway, I'm just holding the coins, not buying into this.

The issue of excessive dollar issuance has long needed someone to stand firm and say it out loud. Bitcoin is the true hedging tool.
---
Speaking of such fierce inflation, how many people holding onto the dollar are really lacking in judgment?
---
The shift from a speculative asset to a hedging tool has been evident for a while. Institutions have been quietly positioning themselves.
---
The fact that total supply is fixed is something the dollar can never achieve. That’s the gap.
---
The term "counterbalance" is good, but it will take more time to truly realize it. The market is not fully convinced yet.
---
The CEO’s words are spot on. The problem is, when will retail investors be able to keep up with institutional pace?
---
In a high inflation environment, not owning some Bitcoin would seem a bit foolish.
---
It sounds reasonable, but who dares ignore the uncertainties in regulation?
---
In an era of currency over-issuance, Bitcoin’s value is indeed different.
---
Counterbalancing the dollar? That’s a bit of a bold idea, but the direction is correct.

The US dollar is being overissued so seriously, we really need to deploy some Bitcoin to stabilize the situation
---
Balancing? Sounds nice, but isn't it just because they're afraid the dollar will continue to depreciate
---
From a speculative asset to a hedging tool, this transition is a bit quick... but the logic does hold up
---
Institutions are stockpiling, retail investors are still debating when to buy, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger
---
The fixed total supply really hits the point home, unlike the Federal Reserve's ability to print at will
---
Debt explosion + high inflation, it's no wonder Bitcoin keeps rising
---
The CEO's words sound nice, but in the end, they just want to make our money, haha
---
Recognition is gradually increasing? I think it's just because the price has risen and people are following suit
---
Hedging tools sound high-end, but try to see if anyone will buy the dip during a real crash
---
In the context of high inflation, cash is the biggest poison, and BTC is indeed an option
