Here’s how ‘Nasdaq bubble burst’ will ‘crater Bitcoin’

Main Idea

Economist Henrik Zeberg argues that Bitcoin is not a unique safe haven but a highly risk-prone asset, closely correlated with the Nasdaq, and warns of a potential 'Tech Bubble 2' that could impact both.

1. Bitcoin and the Nasdaq have shown near-perfect synchronization in price movements in recent years.

2. Zeberg describes Bitcoin as a 'highly risk-prone asset' and part of the developing 'Tech Bubble 2'.

3. The U.S. market capitalization-to-GDP ratio is currently at 226%, exceeding levels before the 2007–2008 financial crisis.

4. Even if the Nasdaq falls to 2022 levels, the market cap-to-GDP ratio would still be higher than at the peak of the last major bubble.

5. Bitcoin's price was trading at $116,622, showing a 4% weekly increase at the time of the report.
