13 May Bitcoin poised to shine as governments print more money: report
The unprecedented reaction from governments around the world to do “whatever it takes” to keep their economics afloat in response to the coronavirus pandemic could drive a flight to Bitcoin.
That’s the principal takeaway from the latest report by Bitcoin research firm Delphi Digital. The exhaustive document—covering everything from the macro financial climate to Bitcoin’s on-chain data—looks at a mixture of historical precedent and Bitcoin’s current data trends to presage what the rest of the year may look like for the cryptocurrency.
The report began with a rosy reminder that the world’s economy is basically on debt-based life support. “The amount of monetary and fiscal relief that’s been pledged [by central banks in 2020] equates to more than $10 trillion globally,” it stated.
But as governments print more money, Bitcoin (as evidenced by yesterday’s successful halving) is going to tick on with a decreased inflation rate.
Good for Bitcoin?
