Does Bitcoin Love Bad News?
Edward Snowden thinks that it does.
The Russia-based NSA whistleblower tweeted this week that China’s most recent ban on Bitcoin “just made Bitcoin stronger.”
This is actually not a new thought — Bitcoin does seem to often do much better when the rest of the world is doing worse. Considering that the cryptocurrency was made as a way to create a new, completely separate financial system after the 2008 economic crisis, it may be logical for the crypto to soar in price when disaster happens in the “real world.”
Of course, this also comes with the other side of the coin — when things are going great, Bitcoin should suffer. This logic has been seen to come true in the markets, when El Salvador’s law making Bitcoin legal tender went into action, a huge boon for the crypto...and Bitcoin immediately fell.
It’s hard not to imagine Bitcoin as a stubborn toddler, throwing tantrums when everything goes his way just to be contrary. Let’s keep an eye to see what happens to Bitcoin’s attitude when he grows up just a little more.
Bitcoin! 😊 Altcoins! 😺
Bitcoin Bull Run 'Has Six Months to Go' 🤑

Given how PlanB is adamant Bitcoin will hit $135,000 in December, we could see fireworks in 2022 if his latest predictions are proven right. Check out his tweets.
