Bitcoin and De-Dollarization: Novogratz Responds to Hilary Clinton’s Statement
A recent statement made by former US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton about Bitcoin and its potential impact on the US Dollar has sparked a response from Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz. Clinton suggested that Bitcoin could undermine the Dollar as a reserve currency, highlighting the role of digital currencies in de-dollarization. De-dollarization refers to countries reducing their reliance on the US Dollar in international trade and finance, often turning to alternative currencies or assets. However, Novogratz disagrees, placing blame on reckless spending by both Republicans and Democrats as the real threat to the Dollar’s status.
Community Support for Novogratz’s Stance
The crypto community, including members of Crypto X, have shown support for Novogratz’s perspective on fiscal management and Bitcoin’s role. Many agree that blaming Bitcoin for de-dollarization overlooks the need for better decision-making and financial stability measures. This is not the first time Novogratz has countered strong opinions about Bitcoin, as he previously responded to Jamie Dimon’s criticism by calling it hypocritical. Currently, Galaxy Digital offers an active spot Bitcoin ETF product that provides investors with an alternative to the declining value of the Dollar.
