Macro strategist Luke Gromen unpacks how developments within the power market might immediately affect Bitcoin (BTC).
In a brand new thread on the social media platform X, Gromen tells his 340,800 followers that he thinks gold and Bitcoin are poised to surge if power costs spike.
“1. Each time bodily [gold] is revalued to a giant a number of of oil, power costs in fiat will skyrocket, sending gold far increased on fiat.
2. When power costs in fiat skyrocket, the value of BTC will even skyrocket in fiat.
