According to Nic Carter, a shared chart illustrates that Bitcoin's (BTC) monetary inflation rate has fallen to approximately 0.85% following the fourth halving event. The data presented shows this new issuance rate is now significantly lower than that of gold, which has a historical inflation rate of about 1.5%. For traders, this reinforces Bitcoin's core value proposition as a scarce, 'hard' asset. The systematic reduction in new supply with each halving event, as shown in the chart, is a fundamental factor supporting a long-term bullish outlook on BTC's price by tightening its supply dynamics relative to traditional stores of value.

According to Michaël van de Poppe, despite the current Bitcoin price crash, the fundamental thesis of Bitcoin as a store of value and hard money remains unchanged. He highlights that many traders are inclined to sell due to market volatility, yet he advises against holding U.S. Dollars due to inflation concerns. This perspective suggests a long-term trading strategy focusing on Bitcoin's inherent value propositions. [Source: Michaël van de Poppe on Twitter]
