In an interview, Maelstrom co-founder Arthur Hayes suggested that investors may be underestimating the risks of current conflict escalation or continuation. Hayes believes that the global markets have not fully priced in the possibility of a long-term US-Iran war. He warned that if energy flow is disrupted, a chain reaction could lead to global economic consequences through rising oil prices, inflation pressure, and increased market volatility. Additionally, Hayes highlighted another powerful disruptive force - the potential crisis related to artificial intelligence quietly brewing. He suggested that AI could rapidly reshape the labor market by replacing a large number of knowledge workers, including lawyers, bankers, accountants, and analysts. If this transformation occurs quickly and households struggle to repay existing debts, it could result in a widespread credit crisis. Ultimately, Hayes believes that the global financial system's consistent response to crises is to inject liquidity. He described Bitcoin as essentially just a liquidity smoke alarm.
