So I think the debt and this money printing is beneficial.

In theory it's good for bitcoin as government responses to the pandemic just highlight the deficiencies of fiat.

In practice however bitcoin is still viewed in large part as a highly speculative asset rather than a safe-haven. We may see bitcoin price appreciation in the short-term, or we may see price drops as the economic turmoil starts to hit people in the pocket and they cash in on their more speculative holdings. Long-term, yes, the case for bitcoin grows stronger... it's just that (as we all know by now) the upwards path may have a few sizeable bumps.
