Blockstream CEO Adam Back said during Paris Blockchain Week 2025 that Bitcoin could rival gold as a hedge against inflation in the coming decade. He pointed to growing global monetary instability and rising inflation as key drivers behind the shift.
“Bitcoin is like gold — a scarce asset — but it’s also undergoing an adoption curve,” Back stated, despite a 30% correction from its all-time high above $109,000.
Inflation May Stay at 10–15% for a Decade
Back projected that inflation could remain at 10% to 15% for the next ten years, which he said is a level of investment return difficult to match with stocks or rental properties.
“Eventually, printed money flows into hard assets. Over time, they’ll all go up — especially scarce and physical assets like housing or Bitcoin,” he explained.

While the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland projects a 2.18% average annual inflation over the next decade, the University of Michigan reports that consumer expectations are significantly higher — around 5% for next year and 4.1% over the next five years.
Politics, ETFs Fueling Bitcoin’s Momentum!
Beyond economics, Back highlighted how recent spot Bitcoin ETF approvals and a more crypto-friendly Trump administration are also boosting Bitcoin adoption.
“Trump’s presidency has begun removing anti-crypto regulations like Operation Chokepoint 2.0. That’s creating opportunities for retail investors,” he said.
On March 7, Trump signed an executive order to establish a Bitcoin reserve seeded with coins seized in criminal investigations — a move hailed by many as a significant step toward integrating Bitcoin into the mainstream financial system.
