He\u2019s put about 80% of his net worth into BTC at an average price below $25,000. Rather than fret over today\u2019s high sticker, he says the odds favor more gains ahead than losses.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Deaton\u2019s Big Bet<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to Deaton, buying at six figures isn\u2019t too late. He calls today\u2019s price range \u201cmore asymmetrical,\u201d meaning the upside is greater than the downside. He\u2019s put 80% of his wealth into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin<\/a>. His average entry cost was less than $25,000. Still, he sees room to run even from around $106,000.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Macro Concerns Drive Interest<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Based on reports, Deaton worries about soaring national debt in the US and fresh tariffs from US President Donald Trump\u2019s time in office. He flags endless money printing by central banks as a red flag.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I\u2019m not in favor of telling people living paycheck to paycheck (me until 15 years ago) to take out a mortgage on their primary home to buy Bitcoin (I\u2019m not suggesting that that\u2019s what David is recommending either), but I am in the process of selling real estate, and although my\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JMB1zgeazW\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/JMB1zgeazW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 John E Deaton (@JohnEDeaton1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnEDeaton1\/status\/1931769134481596526?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">June 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He says all these moves are chipping away at trust in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/f\/fiatmoney.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">fiat<\/a> cash. With only 21 million BTC ever to be mined, Bitcoin can\u2019t be inflated away. That fixed supply, he argues, makes it a solid hedge against a shaky dollar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Corporate And State Adoption<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Institutional demand is also on the rise.

Countries like Pakistan, Ukraine, and Ireland are weighing similar steps. They want to see if holding Bitcoin could protect their foreign exchange plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skeptics Voice Worries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not everyone agrees with Deaton\u2019s rosy outlook. Economist Peter Schiff, a gold advocate, says Bitcoin has no real value and is too wild to be a safe haven. He tweeted that today\u2019s rally is just hype.<\/p>\n<p>Deaton doesn\u2019t shy away from such criticism. He admits he has \u201cconfirmation and wealth-preservation bias.\u201d He still insists Bitcoin is the best store of value during today\u2019s economic storms.<\/p>\n<p>Deaton warns against buying with money you can\u2019t afford to lose. He tells people living paycheck-to-paycheck not to risk their homes or take out loans just to buy crypto.<\/p>\n<p>His basic message is simple: look past daily price swings and ask where the world\u2019s money is headed. If you share his concerns about the dollar and believe institutions will keep piling in, his bet on Bitcoin could pay off. But anyone on the sidelines should be ready for big swings and should only invest what they can handle.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A well-known cryptocurrency attorney and XRP advocate, John Deaton, is urging investors to stay bullish on Bitcoin even as it hovers near $106,000.
