Arthur Hayes: Bitcoin Is Going to $150K — The Bottom Is In | Trade Secrets

Arthur Hayes is back on Trade Secrets — and he’s changed his mind on Bitcoin. After previously warning that BTC could fall much lower, Hayes now believes the bottom may already be in around $58K. In this episode, he explains why US liquidity, de facto yield curve control and renewed money printing could fuel what he calls a Bitcoin “hate rally” — with BTC grinding higher and a $150K year-end target now in sight. Hayes also reveals why Ethereum is his #1 crypto pick right now, why he thinks ETH could move 3–5X, and which altcoin he believes could deliver an “easy 5X” over the next six months. Plus, he explains why Trump’s crypto comments are largely irrelevant to Bitcoin, reflects on the shutdown of BitMEX, and lays out his next big bet at the intersection of crypto and AI. 00:00 Bitcoin to $1M?
