Amid a massive spike of the United States’ Consumer Price Index (CPI), the cryptocurrency community has been divided on whether Bitcoin (BTC) is really a hedge to inflation.
The CPI, an indicator measuring the average change in prices that consumers pay for a basket of goods and services, saw its largest one-month increase in June over the past 13 years, Business Insider poročali Tuesday. The inflation surge reportedly začel in March, when CPI rose by 2.6%, followed by subsequent increases in April of 4.2% and eventually 5.4% in June.
But despite the recent growth in CPI-measured inflation, Bitcoin has allegedly failed as an inflation hedge as its price has almost halved iz 64,000 dolarjev sredi aprila, po mnenju nekaterih analitikov.
Zanimivo je to kot CPI #inflacija se je januarja +1.4% medletno povzpela na 5.4% junija, #Bitcoin je bil v bistvu prepolovljen

“Bitcoin isn’t behaving like an inflation hedge anymore and will continue to remain heavy over expectations over higher yields,” Ed Moya, senior equity analyst at foreign exchange firm Oanda, said in a Tuesday note. However, that inflation is viewed as transitory, which could be a reason why the June CPI report wasn’t enough of a catalyst to break Bitcoin’s sideways trading, Moya added.
The crypto community subsequently reacted to these CPI-versus-Bitcoin observations, with many industry advocates poudarjajo that their early Bitcoin investment and gains “have already hedged the future.” Some Bitcoin enthusiasts pointed out that Bitcoin has been growing historically, posting massive gains over the long term.

According to some crypto experts, Bitcoin is indeed “not a great hedge against inflation.” mati greenspan, founder of money management firm Quantum Economics, told Cointelegraph that there “doesn’t seem to be any correlation” between Bitcoin’s price action and inflation or deflation data, stating:
»Zagotovo je bil Bitcoin sčasoma odličen izvajalec. Toda večina dobičkov se je zgodila v velikem globalnem obdobju deflacije, v katerem so se povečala vsa tvegana sredstva. Zdaj, ko se inflacija resnično povečuje, prvič po ustanovitvi Bitcoina drastično zaostaja. "
The latest CPI-triggered argument brings another twist in long-running debates regarding Bitcoin as a hedge instrument. A number of financial analysts, including Nassim Taleb, believe that inflation has nothing to do with Bitcoin’s price. Still, some global investors, such as Paul Tudor Jones, have moved into Bitcoin to protect their investments from inflation.
