The USA gov shutdown over the approval of building a wall, seems to be rather odd.
They spend billions defending other countries, and then shutdown their own gov services over defending their own.
Based on the GoFundme has raised a huge amount of money in just a few days, which perhaps indicates a fairly large number of people support the wall concept.
Add to the gov confusion the huge drops in Wall street over the last few days and it begs the question "What about Crypto?".
Since the crypto markets trade 24x7 they will be open for business.
With all the uncertainty in the USA, stock markets closed for Xmas break, it would seem that BTC and other coins are sitting in the box seat for a rise.
After all the money has to go somewhere, and stock & gold markets will be closed.
Time to buy? Time will tell if CryptoSanta is real
