Make sure that you will not get into trouble at a later time, the money the government is providing is to take care of yourself during this troubled times and if you are going to use that to invest then there will be some issues that will pop up at a later time and you will be forced to return everything for gaming the system that was meant to help the poor and needy and so think twice before doing anything with the money providing during tough times and these are not free money as you need to enter all the details while filing your tax.

I have some sympathy with this view. At this point we have zero idea how long this is going to drag on for and even if it recovers in a few months the hangover is a vast unknown. That said $1200 won't go all that far in the US.

I'd chuck it in BTC if I was absolutely confident about my financial health and had plenty of savings elsewhere. All the same the future is a looming question mark.
