Bitcoin Will Act as Shadow Central Bank, Fiat Collapse Could Be Overnight – Bill Barhydt
In an eye-opening interview at Consensus 2024 in Austin, Texas, Michelle Makori, Lead Anchor and Editor-in-Chief at Kitco News, speaks with Bill Barhydt, Founder and CEO of Abra. Barhydt forecasts that Bitcoin will emerge as the shadow central bank as the fiat system unravels. He predicts that more sovereign nations and companies will start holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset, warning that 50-75 non-U.S.-dollar-backed or non-euro-backed currencies are at risk of failing within the next 25 years. Describing international currencies as a "ticking time bomb," Barhydt cautions that the collapse of the fiat system could occur overnight. Tune in for Barhydt’s insights on the transformative role of Bitcoin and the future of global currencies.
