Low FED rates = banks use leverage to pump up the stock market. Basically it's as if you bought $5000 of Bitcoin on a credit card and then sent it to Bitmex and 10X leveraged that.
I see... rate hike -> USD money press slows down -> bankers making it rain in the casino/NYSE find their wads of cash are running low -> the party comes to a screeching halt. Nice.
Right, and they're not going to want to be USD bag holders after liquidating either - they'll move into solid assets. Commodities, precious metals, aaaaaaannddd Bitcoin!
Yes commodities always rise during economic turmoil. With crypto emerging as an asset class that's very uncorrelated with conventional markets I can see it being used as a safe haven.
