Venture capitalist Tim Draper suggests that businesses hold at least two payrolls worth of cash in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as a hedge against deteriorating economic conditions, as CryptoSlate reveals.
He believes that the collapse of banks such as Silicon Valley shows the need for contingency plans to ensure businesses always have cash at hand to sustain themselves and their employees. Draper suggests businesses diversify and decentralize to remain sustainable in the current economic conditions, as bank collapses will become a more plausible scenatio if governments continue over-printing money and whipsawing the interest rate to contend with the resulting inflation.
He also advises businesses to diversify their risk, hold short-term cash in two banks, and incorporate yield and capital appreciation into their plans.

Draper has been a vocal proponent of cryptocurrency, and he was an early investor in Bitcoin.

Investing in Bitcoin involves certain risks that should be considered before making a decision. Bitcoin’s value can be highly volatile, with significant price swings occurring in a short amount of time. Additionally, Bitcoin is not backed by any government or physical asset, and there is no guarantee of its value.
