Circling back to his analogy between gold prices in the 1970s, Paul Tudor Jones reveals exactly where he thinks Bitcoin is headed. 

Media site Zero Hedge shared a chart from PJT comparing gold prices in the 1970s with Bitcoin and found that Bitcoin’s current run to the high of the decade is still on the cards. 

The comparison between the two charts even signals a higher peak in Bitcoin than in December 2017. 

Any continued dump in $BTC would be extremely bullish as it would reveal we are following the gold fractal from the 1970s, as per below by Paul Tudor Jones–the legendary macro investor who successfully used fractals to predict the 1980s stock market supercycle. 🚀🐂 https://t.co/mN8hLIo8Q7

In the 1970s, inflation and low-productivity drove the United States into stagflation, making life difficult for citizens. The price of goods kept rising, but earnings were stagnant or negative.  

During this time, the recession was marked by several economic shocks, notable of which were the ‘73 oil crisis and the ‘79 energy crisis. Over the next two decades, markets remained volatile, promoting a risk-off environment. 

Governments deployed unprecedented monetary stimuli to revive budget deficits and employment rates, making matters worse by lifting inflation. 

Investors, retail and institutional, quickly flocked to gold as a hedge, leading to a 2,000% rise in the precious metal. Many expect the same for Bitcoin.

The United States Federal Reserve is using similar tactics in 2020, aiming towards high inflation rates in the face of the pandemic-induced economic crisis.

And already, investors are getting glimpses into a bullish Bitcoin environment. The leading cryptocurrency came within a few hundred dollars of all-time highs this week.

Moreover, according to variations of the state consumer price index (CPI), the real inflation rate is already very high.

Many other leading hedge fund managers have echoed the same narrative, promoting Bitcoin’s growth as an inflationary hedge and gold substitute.
