On March 11, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes—who previously predicted Bitcoin would hit $250,000 this year—said he’s now holding off on Bitcoin investments, waiting for the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy before acting.

Optimistic outcome: Strait of Hormuz reopens, diplomatic efforts yield results (e.g., ceasefire). Pessimistic
