Ackman Warns Bitcoin Could Replace Dollar as Global Reserve Currency, Despite Inflation Risks
- Billionaire Bill Ackman said Bitcoin's rise could lead to the decline of the US dollar, with Bitcoin or a new BRICS currency replacing it
- Ackman warned that as Bitcoin's price rises, increased mining could drive up energy costs and inflation, further weakening the dollar
- This could create a self-reinforcing cycle where the declining dollar boosts Bitcoin demand, increasing mining energy use
- Ackman is considering buying Bitcoin himself due to his belief in this scenario playing out
- MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor urged Ackman to buy Bitcoin, arguing miners actually lower energy costs for other consumers
