Bitcoin speculators consider a lot of factors which probably include the Fed's big decisions to strengthen the USD. We need to remind ourselves that Bitcoin is already a mainstream investment option and a significant number of Bitcoin investors are the same people who are playing in the traditional market. Bitcoin isn't anymore a very radical option these days. Many Bitcoin investors are the same people that give weight to the likes of interest rates.
But then Bitcoin isn't a US currency. It's a global currency and asset. The Fed's decisions can't be made as a determining factor. It's just one among many factors.
This is especially true when we are talking about whales, it could be people or it could be hedge funds or corporations and we can easily say that they are part of everything and not just bitcoin. They spend billions on bitcoin but they also spend billions on other things as well, have investments probably all around the world too.
That's the reason why we are talking about something so major, it is going to allow people to make sure that they are involved in something that billionaires are part of as well. This is a good thing, for the first time ever they can't cheat their way out of a system, they will earn as much percentage as we do, or lose as much as we do.
