On February 11, 2026, a French broadcaster or guest on BFM Crypto Le Club on the BFM Business channel sparked widespread debate with a bold statement: "Currencies are completely losing their value... the future is Bitcoin
" She added: "So, it's a good idea to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible right now." This comment came during an episode discussing Bitcoin's drop below $70,000, but it quickly spread across social media, especially after being shared by crypto-focused accounts
The key speaker in this context is Grégory Raymond (Grégory Raymond), co-founder of The Big Whale, one of France's leading crypto journalists
Raymond, a regular on BFM Crypto, linked the erosion of traditional currencies' value—particularly the U.S. dollar—to Bitcoin's rise as a reliable asset that protects against inflation and monetary devaluation
The discussion highlighted the benefits of the dollar's declining value, often described as "exporting inflation" worldwide, contrasted with Bitcoin's emergence as "digital gold" thanks to its capped supply (only 21 million units ever)
In the 2026 economic context, this statement arrives amid mounting pressure on the dollar: massive U.S. debt, prior expansionary monetary policies, and rising global indebtedness
Bitcoin, in turn, is seen as a "hard" alternative immune to unlimited printing, especially as major companies and even nations adopt Bitcoin treasury strategies
Raymond and others argue that fiat devaluation accelerates the migration toward decentralized assets, positioning Bitcoin as a safe haven during monetary uncertainty
This view is not isolated; in recent years, interest in Bitcoin as an "inflation hedge" has grown, particularly amid waning trust in central banks
The statement reflects an accelerating intellectual shift in Europe, where mainstream media now discusses crypto more seriously rather than dismissing or merely criticizing it
Despite Bitcoin's temporary dip during that period, supporters see such comments as reinforcing the long-term bullish narrative: fiat currencies are gradually losing legitimacy, while Bitcoin rises as a scarce, tamper-proof asset.Ultimately, this declaration marks an important media turning point
When an expert on a traditional finance show says "the future is Bitcoin," it signals that the idea has moved from the fringes to the mainstream
Whether one agrees or not, statements like this prompt more investors to reassess their portfolios and confirm that Bitcoin is no longer just "speculation"—it has become part of the global conversation about the very future of money itself
