The world is awash with liquidity. Trillions of dollars, euros, yen, and other currencies are trying to find a home in the global financial system. While some see this as a recipe for inflation or asset bubbles, I see something else: an unprecedented opportunity to use Bitcoin to narrow the wealth gap, particularly in emerging markets.
Liquidity Injections: Bitcoin's Rocket Fuel?
Let's be clear: Bitcoin's price isn't determined in a vacuum. As Matt Crosby, Lead Analyst at Bitcoin Magazine Pro, has pointed out, there's a strong correlation between global M2 money supply (a measure of global liquidity) and Bitcoin's price. We're talking about correlation often exceeding 84%. Central banks the world over are creating trillions by the stroke of a pen using approaches like quantitative easing. As discussed, this newfound liquidity typically rushes into risk-on assets, Bitcoin included.
Think of it like this: Imagine a dam bursts, releasing a flood of water. Much of that water will then go to irrigate fields and nourish crops. At the same time, an enormous volume will just wash into the closest sink, making that lake expand. Bitcoin, in this analogy, is that lake.
Currently, that dam is beginning to crack with new signs of weakness. The pace of liquidity expansion is accelerating, and that’s what could shoot Bitcoin to the moon. Based on current information, our strong price target is $108,000 by June 2025. If in addition the price has already jumped off the bottom of $75,000, that’s even more validation.
It shouldn’t be exclusively about enriching the already super rich investors either. This isn’t just about expanding access — it’s about creating opportunities for people who have been purposely locked out of the long-standing financial system. This is about empowerment.
Decentralization: A Lifeline for the Excluded
The real brilliance of Bitcoin is in how decentralized it is. Bitcoin is an open source, peer-to-peer network on which anyone can transact. In comparison, legacy financial infrastructures are centralized, often in the hands of federal governments and large corporations. This is particularly crucial in emerging markets, where:
- Banking access is limited: Millions of people are unbanked or underbanked, lacking access to basic financial services.
- Inflation is rampant: Local currencies can be unstable, eroding savings and making it difficult to plan for the future.
- Remittances are expensive: Sending money home can be costly, cutting into vital income for families.
Now, picture a farmer in the middle of rural Ghana that would be unable to secure a loan from any traditional bank. Through Bitcoin, they’re able to get micro-loans or be involved in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms – opening doors to opportunities they’ve never had before. Now, picture that same migrant worker in Dubai who can use the service to send money home to their family without exorbitant fees. Bitcoin makes this possible.
- Financial Inclusion: It provides access to a global financial network, regardless of location or socioeconomic status.
- Inflation Hedge: It offers a store of value that is resistant to inflation, protecting savings from devaluation.
- Cheap Remittances: It enables fast and affordable cross-border payments, allowing families to receive the full value of remittances.
The thing that excites me most is Bitcoin’s potential in Africa. I want to see a future where Bitcoin helps millions of Africans escape poverty and achieve prosperity.
Bitcoin's Africa Opportunity: Real World Impact
I’ve witnessed not only the opportunities but the challenges that people in Africa face. I have witnessed the vaulting creativity and inspiring determination of the African people. Bitcoin is an incredible tool to help us prevail against these challenges and create a better future.
Of course, there are risks. Bitcoin’s extreme volatility and its popular but exaggerated reputation as a criminal’s currency are excellent examples. We can educate to mitigate these unique risks, regulate to avoid them, and pursue development in responsible ways that eliminate their potential.
By advocating for policies that incorporate Bitcoin’s strengths, lawmakers will have an opportunity to create a more equitable and inclusive financial system. It's time to seize that opportunity.
- Empowering Entrepreneurs: Providing access to capital and markets for small businesses.
- Promoting Financial Literacy: Educating people about Bitcoin and other financial technologies.
- Creating Jobs: Fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
