Bitcoin Advocates Challenge U.S. Economic Data, Predict Crypto's Long-Term Dominance
April 13, 2025
Amid stock market declines, Bitcoin has shown remarkable resilience, maintaining a price above $82,000 and even rising to over $84,000, demonstrating its potential as a store of value.
Jeff Parks, head of alpha strategies at Bitwise Invest, recently stated that Bitcoin has a greater chance of long-term survival compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly as the dollar index has dropped significantly.
Pompliano emphasizes that Bitcoin's fixed supply makes it less vulnerable to inflation compared to the dollar, which is affected by government spending and increasing national debt.
He further argues that Bitcoin serves as a hedge against traditional financial instability, suggesting that as the dollar depreciates, Bitcoin's value tends to increase.
As skepticism about the accuracy of GDP growth figures and employment statistics grows, Bitcoin advocates are citing a 2024 report from the American Statistical Association that highlights declining reliability in government statistics.
Crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano argues that Bitcoin holders were among the first to recognize inaccuracies in U.S. economic data, positioning themselves for potential gains.
This skepticism is echoed by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who admitted on the 'All-In' podcast that he does not trust official economic figures, reinforcing the concerns raised by Bitcoin proponents.
The recognition of Bitcoin's importance is growing, with countries like El Salvador and Bhutan adding it to their national reserves, while U.S. states explore Bitcoin-friendly legislation.
As confidence in official economic narratives wanes, Bitcoiners advocate for a shift towards personal experience and blockchain technology for making financial decisions.
Concerns about the validity of U.S. economic data are not new, with a July 2024 report highlighting the need for new methods to ensure the reliability of government statistics.
Pompliano criticizes mainstream financial discussions as superficial and driven by misinformation based on unreliable data, calling for a more critical approach to economic analysis.
