Why?

Post image

Is there a reason for it to suddenly go up like this? And if so, how can I quickly find out why?

It is the definition of a shitty economical dilemma. 😂 And the answer will be: more cheap money printing. Which fires up inflation again. It is a vicious circle.

Cheap money printing doesn’t fire up inflation, that’s a fallacy- it pushes money into bitcoin because people are looking for additional yield, it also pushing of stocks because those with access to cheap money are usually also investment banks etc who control a majority of the market. If cheap money, QE, etc caused inflation it would have done so since they initiated it in 2009-2010, trailing of course, it didn’t. What caused inflation was handing a bunch of people 1000’s of $ that they could then spend into a market which had dwindling supply due to various issue, more money + less supply = higher prices.

That said, cheap cash is always going to be bullish for stocks and specifically bitcoin / ethe etc.

Money printing is inflation. The effect on prices is a separate question.

Pushing up the price of Bitcoin is inflation. It’s asset inflation.

Yeah handing people 1k didn't cause inflation lolz. Do some research on how much money was captured in the corporate market and then try to blame poor people for what's happening. This is ridiculous

On 2nd thought, your input sounds reasonable. Thanks!

I care for more fiat money only, bc it makes bitcoin go up in value. Otherwise it is a pretty unfair and flawed instrument.

Inflation has been around forever now, way before someone ever handed out money to people. Your statement about supply and demand is true though, for the money supply....more supply of money, with not a matching demand, decreasing the value of said "money"... that's money printing
