“It’s just so ridiculous how much money is going to be printed over the next two to three years while the central banks try to save the government bond markets that I guess I’m just so bullish on bitcoin, crypto, certain stocks [and] so bearish on fiat just because there’s going to be umpteenth more trillions of dollars of it,” Hayes, who cofounded crypto derivatives pioneer BitMex, told YouTuber Ran Neuner.

The Federal Reserve in the U.S. and central banks across Europe and Asia will, according to Hayes, be forced to issue increasing amounts of debt in coming years, boosting speculative, risk assets such as bitcoin, ethereum, XRP and other cryptocurrencies while at the same time weakening the U.S. dollar.

Earlier this month, Hayes generated headlines when he predicted the bitcoin price could rocket to $1 million by 2026.

“There is going to be a major financial crisis, probably as bad or worse than the great depression, sometime near the end of the decade; before we get there, we’re gonna have, I think, the largest bull market in stocks, real estate, crypto, art, you name it, that we’ve ever seen since World War 2,” Hayes told YouTuber Tom Bilyeu.
