I've said it for a long time, but this time, I'm not making this up. It's from the WSJ.

BTC holders shall not worry.

When money is cheap everyone tries to borrow as much as they can and invest it in assets that they think will appreciate faster than inflation. It's worth remembering though that pretty much every crisis in history has appeared out of nowhere and taken pretty much everyone by surprise. Just look at Covid - Bitcoin fell as much as the stock market in the early days. Inflation is bad news for everyone really, because it will ultimately cause an affordability issue for everyone who owns a mortgage (see: the majority) and will eventually lead on to a recession if ongoing inflation rises turns out to be true into the future. Let's hope supply chains settle down and Covid does not cause too much instability or even crypto holders will not be safe.
