We’re all trying to wrap our heads around new numbers…6 trillion being the standout…fiat is imaginary money and ever more clearly so. Does this guarantee a short term pump for Bitcoin? Nope. Is it incredibly bullish in the coming years? Yes and yes again. This will be the hardest hodl of your life but it almost certainly will turn out to b worth it.
As the globe settles into an extended period of lockdown/economic contraction - look beyond the headlines and perhaps focus on what the world may look like in 6 months or so…hint….Bitcoin will have a place.
