Million

April

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and a well-known figure in the crypto community, has made headlines with a <a href="https://twitter.com/CryptoHayes/status/1755036293623579008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">bold prediction</a> for Bitcoin (BTC). 
Hayes, recognized for his unique views of the crypto space, shared his thoughts on Bitcoin’s potential trajectory in light of the current financial challenges the New York Community Bank (NYCB) faces. 
NYCB, grappling with significant financial troubles, was <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-07/new-york-community-bancorp-s-credit-grade-cut-to-junk-by-moody-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">reported</a> by Bloomberg as having its credit rating downgraded to “junk” by Moody’s. 
Hayes interprets the bank’s struggle and the broader banking sector’s difficulties as indicators of systemic issues in traditional banking. He posits that these challenges could lead to greater reliance on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. 
<h2 id="the-road-to-1-million-a-bitcoin-rally-postulated">The Road To $1 Million: A Bitcoin Rally Postulated</h2> 
Hayes’s perspective is shaped by the view that the conventional banking model is facing sustainability issues. He argues that to address these challenges, the US Federal Reserve could print more money, leading to a deeper financial crisis. 
In such a scenario, Hayes believes Bitcoin is a viable alternative, offering a degree of insulation from traditional banking sector problems. This outlook is not new to Hayes, who has consistently advocated for Bitcoin as a <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin-weekend-rally-new-banking-crisis-arthur-hayes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">hedge against </a>the instability of traditional financial systems.

Delving deeper into his prediction, Arthur Hayes envisions a scenario where Bitcoin could soar to <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/bitcoin-news/holding-for-gold-micheal-saylors-poll-unveils-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">$1 million</a>. This prediction is not unique to Hayes, as other prominent crypto figures, including Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, share similar views. 
Mow has even recently <a href="https://x.com/Excellion/status/1746417766746476691?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">expressed</a> confidence that Bitcoin <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/expert-forecasts-bitcoin-swift-rise-to-1-million/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">could rapidly ascend to $1 million</a>, potentially within days or weeks. However, he acknowledges that the exact starting point for this surge is yet to be determined. 
Hayes’s recent commentary aligns with his previous analyses. In a Medium <a href="https://cryptohayes.medium.com/signposts-693ba565cd3e" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post</a>,&nbsp;the BitMEX Co-Founder <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin-weekend-rally-new-banking-crisis-arthur-hayes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">drew parallels</a> between Bitcoin’s performance during the March 2023 banking crisis and its potential future trajectory. 
Hayes suggested that similar to the 40% increase experienced during the previous banking crisis, Bitcoin could witness a significant rally following the current challenges.

<h2 id="halving-events-catalysts-for-bitcoin-s-value-surge">Halving Events: Catalysts For Bitcoin’s Value Surge</h2> 
The conversation around Bitcoin’s potential price surge is linked to its <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/bitcoin-news/expert-reveals-key-macro-indicators-for-bitcoin-a-roadmap-to-next-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">halving events</a>. Occurring approximately every four years, these events halve the reward for mining new Bitcoin blocks, reducing the rate at which new BTCs are created. 
The next Bitcoin halving, scheduled for April this year, will decrease the daily production of Bitcoin from 900 to 450 coins. Historically, these supply reductions have led to significant price movements in Bitcoin’s value, lending credence to predictions of substantial future price increases. 
While enthusiasts like Hayes and Mow are bullish about Bitcoin’s prospects of $1 million, there are voices of caution in the crypto community. Tuur Demeester, another Bitcoin evangelist, has recently expressed skepticism regarding Bitcoin’s <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/bitcoin-news/will-bitcoin-hit-1-million-by-2028-experts-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">ability to reach the $1 million mark by 2028</a>, the next Bitcoin halving after this year. 
In response to a graph shared by investor Fred Krueger, which projected Bitcoin to reach $1 million by 2028, Demeester acknowledged the unpredictable nature of markets and their potential to defy even well-constructed models. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 Will it take BTC until after summer 2028 to reach $1M? I don’t know, but I do know that every beautiful model (as is this one <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f90c.png" alt="🤌" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;">) is destined to be broken by Mr. Market. <a href="https://t.co/GcmhfL2C16" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://t.co/GcmhfL2C16</a>
