Bitcoin is about to become a hot asset as the US central bank goes ahead with its pseudo-quantitative easing program, believes a few bigwigs.<\/p>\n

Travis Kling, the chief investment officer at California-based Ikigai Asset Management<\/a>, called bitcoin “an insurance policy” against Jerome Powell’s decision to resume Treasury purchases. The Federal Reserve chairman on Tuesday confirmed that they would purchase short-term bonds to expand their balance sheets.<\/p>\n

Fed’s move, according to Kling, signals a liquidity crunch in the US market, which means the central bank is injecting a fresh supply of dollar-denominated assets to stimulate the US economy. It is an equivalent of quantitative easing (QE).<\/p>\n

“Welcome to QE4,” tweeted Kling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

"I want to emphasize that growth of our balance sheet for reserve management purposes should in no way be confused with the large-scale asset purchase programs."
-Jay Powell, today<\/p>\n

Bitcoin is an insurance policy against monetary & fiscal policy irresponsibility.<\/p>\n

Welcome to QE4.<\/p>\n
