Feature: Symphony of Gold and BTC Digital Gold

Trade friction seems to have no end, global political and economic situation is turbulent; gold is rising strongly; since May 2019, trade friction has intensified. At the end of July, the Federal Reserve announced a rate cut, while the fourth round of BTC bull market has also opened, safe haven and value storage. The features are displayed to the fullest.

1.1 Safe-haven demand pushes BTC prices up

The global political and economic situation is turbulent, and safe-haven demand is driving the price of BTC. In March 2013, Cyprus, a small country in southern Europe, imposed tax on resident deposits, causing residents to panic and erupting into a financial crisis. In order to prevent the outflow of domestic capital, Cyprus imposes many restrictions on the capital use of citizens.

The BTC has made it possible for the private capital of Cyprus to leave the country. According to data provided by Mt.Gox, a BTC trading website at the time, the value of a BTC on March 5, 2013 was approximately $40, and by March 30, the value was over $92, an increase of 130%. At this time, BTC is in the second price cycle (November 2011 to August 2015), and the outbreak of the Cyprus financial crisis has objectively played a role in promoting the rise of BTC prices.

Trade friction seems to have no end, or become a booster for the BTC bull market. Trump announced on the morning of May 6 that the tariff on 200 billion US dollars of goods will be raised from 10% to 25% from May 11. On May 10, Trump threatened to impose tariffs on another $300 billion of goods. The price of BTC has risen steadily, and the BTC hedging property has been highlighted.

On August 1, 2019, Trump announced that it will impose a 10% tariff on all US$300 million worth of US exports from September 1, 2019, which will also boost the price of BTC.

1.2 The attributes of BTC Digital Gold are gradually confirmed. In the “BTC Value Interval Measurement Based on Value Reserve Valuation Method – Five of the Quest for Valuation Valuation”, we compare BTC, Gold and the main characteristics according to the value characteristics. French currency. In general, BTC has significant advantages in terms of scarcity, portability, severability, verifiability, etc., and has good durability. Although BTC is currently relatively inferior in general acceptance and stability, With the gradual maturity of the BTC market, the public's acceptance of BTC is growing rapidly, and its price volatility is gradually decreasing. BTC has great potential to develop into a good value reserve, so BTC is also known as “digital gold”. ".

In addition to the characteristics of the BTC itself, the instinct of capital-benefit and hedge has more to explain that BTC, like gold, has the property of hedging. The global economic instability has intensified, and the prices of gold and BTC will rise in stages. After the outbreak of the Cyprus financial crisis in March 2013, the price of gold, which was originally in a downward trend, rose by 0.61% against the trend, while the price of BTC rose by 130%. After the trade friction occurred, the international gold price that had been stable since July 2018 continued to rise in May and June and broke through the $1400 mark. Among them, June 28 was 8.76% higher than May 31 and 6.48% in 2019. At the same time, BTC also surged from US$85,574 to US$12,407, an increase of 44.70%, and an increase of 258.82% in 2019. Both BTC and Gold are responsible for the global capital hedging function, which further supports the attributes of BTC “Digital Gold”.

1.3 The loose monetary environment reserves sufficient “ammunition” for the bull market

The Fed cut interest rates, expected to benefit, the stock market fell, BTC rose slightly. The US Federal Reserve announced on July 31 "preventive interest rate cuts": the federal funds rate target range was lowered by 25 basis points to 2% to 2.25%, which is the first time the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates since December 2008. Within 48 hours, the US dollar index hit a high of 98.9418; the Dow and the S&P 500 hit their biggest one-day drop since May this year. On the same day, BTC rose slightly by 2%, and the closing price was about $9,950.

The Fed’s interest rate cut triggered a “domino” effect, and the international financial market ushered in a looser monetary environment, which also provided favorable conditions for the BTC to rise. After the Fed announced a rate cut, on August 1, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.50%. In addition, the central banks of Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have followed the Fed's interest rate cuts. Before the Fed, countries that announced interest rate cuts in 2019 were India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Australia, Russia, South Korea, Indonesia, and Turkey. The international financial market generally ushers in a more relaxed monetary environment. In theory, it can bring abundant capital flow to the BTC that is in the fourth round of price up cycle, and further consolidate the current good trend.
