This time, Musk made a surprising move, stating that the world\u2019s leading cryptocurrency looks \u201csolid\u201d compared to fiat money, nowadays.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Strange Times To Live In<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>JK Rowling, the author of the ever-popular \u201cHarry Potter\u201d series, gave her own comment about Bitcoin as a whole.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">People are now explaining Bitcoin to me, and honestly, it\u2019s blah blah blah collectibles (My Little Pony?) blah blah blah computers (got one of those) blah blah blah crypto (sounds creepy) blah blah blah understand the risk (I don\u2019t, though.)<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jk_rowling\/status\/1261396891784413185?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 15, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In her words, it\u2019s all just confusing jargon, which isn\u2019t a good omen if she ultimately decides to get into it. However, Elon Musk commented on the matter on her twitter feed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Pretty much, although massive currency issuance by govt central banks is making Bitcoin Internet \ud83d\udc7b money look solid by comparison<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1261416824459030529?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 15, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>He remarked that Bitcoin is a confusing pit, but at this point in time, it seems stable when compared to fiat. His reasoning is the sheer volume of money that the central banks of the world started to issue out to try and counteract the tumbling markets.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Song had <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jimmysong\/status\/1261036141001801740\">observed this action<\/a> a couple of days ago, as well. The Bitcoin programmer noticed that the total stock of US Dollars (M2) had managed to increase by $2.3 trillion, doing so in just three months. This stands as possibly the fastest fiat money growth in history.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Big Figures Endorsing Crypto<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Back in early 2019, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla stated that he thought Bitcoin\u2019s overall structure was \u201cquite brilliant.\u201d He went further, saying that he could see the value in cryptocurrencies as a whole when he looks at the world with its ever-fading use of paper money and its currency controls in place<\/p>\n<p>With this recommendation, Musk stands as the latest billionaire to promote Bitcoin as he responds to the ongoing trends in macroeconomics.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Tudor Jones was the previous one that <a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/news\/paul-tudor-jones-moved-to-bitcoin-bitmex-ceo-foresees-investor-influx\/259900\">went into Bitcoin<\/a>. He\u2019s regarded throughout the industry as being one of the best investors the world has to offer, and stands at a net worth of more than $5 billion. Last week, the man revealed that he was investing in <a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/bitcoin-robot\/bitcoin-code\">Bitcoin Code<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Backwards Strategies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>He reasoned, much like Musk had now, that there are genuine fears that the response of the central banks to this ongoing economic recession is one of concern. In Jones\u2019 eyes, it makes far more sense to invest in scarce assets, as opposed to the central banks increasing supply dramatically.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Jones made it clear that he was not trying to advocate the <a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/bitcoin-robot\/bitcoin-pro\">ownership of Bitcoin<\/a>, in particular. Instead, he recognized the potential of the asset during this period, where the world is issuing out the most unorthodox economic policies there is. Thus, according to Jones, one must adapt your investment strategy to the changing times. Jones stated that the best profit-maximizing strategy is the ownership of the fastest horse, this metaphorical horse being Bitcoin to Jones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div
