Austrian investor and fund manager Ronald-Peter Stöferle said that things are not in his favor in the investment market regarding gold. This trend may increase further in the future. Stoeferle, managing partner of Incrementum AG, said about cryptocurrencies that if bitcoin lasts for the next 5 to 10 years, it could reach a level that we cannot even imagine right now.
During a recent interview, Stoeferle was asked whether he thinks gold is now dead and whether cryptocurrencies like bitcoin have depreciated the precious metal?
He added that global financial markets have reached a “monetary tipping point”. After this point inflation will rise, real interest rates will remain negative or near zero, and monetary policy will be less effective for the markets than fiscal policy. According to him this will be the era of fiscal rule.
Regarding bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, he said that the next phase of its price increase is yet to begin. The price of bitcoin in India on April 2 was around Rs 34.3 lakh.
“I think if bitcoin lasts five to ten years, its price will go to a level that we can’t even imagine right now,” he said.
Bitcoin was recently adopted by El Salvador as a legal tender earlier this month. However this first step into the world was beset with initial problems, as the citizens did not believe in it and their anger broke out over it. At the same time, there were technical glitches in its implementation and the prices of the cryptocurrency also fell.
