Cointelegraph
Former hedge fund manager James Lavish warns that Bitcoin could face a significant correction if the Iran conflict triggers a prolonged global inflation shock.Summary
Macro investor James Lavish warns that current markets may be underestimating the risks of a prolonged Iran conflict. He suggests that if the war persists, it could lead to an inflation shock and stagflation, forcing the Federal Reserve into a difficult policy position. While Bitcoin has shown resilience, Lavish cautions that a market-wide panic could trigger a 10% to 20% drawdown for the asset. Despite these short-term risks, he remains bullish on Bitcoin's long-term outlook, viewing potential price drops as buying opportunities rather than a failure of the asset's core thesis.
