On this week's episode of The Crypto Mile our host Brian McGleenon meets Ben Armstrong, aka BitBoy Crypto, to discuss the current economic dynamics that have seen the British pound and euro faltering against a strengthening dollar. The influential YouTuber warns investors that "it's too late" to use crypto as a hedge against collapsing fiat currencies.
The current macroeconomic conditions have seen the US dollar strengthening against the pound and the euro as investors suspect the Federal Reserve's aggressive stance on interest rates is unlikely to change.

However, BitBoy Crypto claims that digital assets are not a good option for storing value amidst the current macroeconomic headwinds.
