According to André Dragosch, periods of very weak monetary policy are the best mass orange-pilling events that accelerate Bitcoin (BTC) adoption (source: André Dragosch on X, Aug 17, 2025). Dragosch cited Argentina, Turkey, and Lebanon as examples where currency stress and policy weakness coincided with stronger grassroots crypto use (source: André Dragosch on X, Aug 17, 2025). This aligns with observed market data: Kaiko reported surges in crypto and stablecoin activity versus local currencies during episodes of lira and peso weakness, including record USDT-TRY spot volumes on major exchanges in 2023–2024 (source: Kaiko Research, 2023–2024), and Chainalysis documented elevated crypto adoption in high-inflation markets such as Turkey and Argentina amid currency controls and devaluation pressures (source: Chainalysis, 2023 Global Crypto Adoption Index and regional analyses). Dragosch added that the U.S. could soon face a similar test if monetary policy shifts toward an ‘Erdogan’-style approach under Trump, implying potential conditions for increased BTC hedging demand (source: André Dragosch on X, Aug 17, 2025). Trading takeaway: In environments of policy-induced currency stress highlighted by Dragosch, traders have historically monitored BTC-TRY, BTC-ARS, and USDT-TRY flows and liquidity as leading signals of local crypto demand, given the patterns reported by Kaiko and Chainalysis (source: Kaiko Research, 2023–2024; Chainalysis, 2023 Global Crypto Adoption Index).
