Many cryptocurrency fans were expecting Paul Tudor Jones to make a statement on CNBC today—and indeed, he did, saying:I have just over 1% of my assets in Bitcoin right now. Maybe closer to 2%.According to the hedge fund trader, there is currently “very little trust in [Bitcoin].” However, it is his belief that we are watching the “birthing of a store of value, and whether that seeds or not only time will tell.”


‘Bitcoin Is Undervalued Relative to Gold’
In Jones’ May newsletter, he made a strong case for Bitcoin and its use case as a hedge against inflation.Bitcoin… scores 66% of gold as a store of value, but has a market cap that is 1/60th of gold’s. Something appears wrong here and my guess is it is the price of Bitcoin.Jones is particularly concerned about public debts and the rampant money-printing being done by central banks. It could easily lead to high levels of inflation. Recently, U.S. government debt surpassed the $25 trillion mark. Gold has always been the traditional hedge against such fears. However, according to Jones, Bitcoin could emerge as an attractive alternative.
