What this means: Crypto investors were left cashing in big time, as the most popular crypto rallied to record highs more than 25 times in a few days.
- Crypto fans cheered it as an inflation hedge in an era of unprecedented amounts of quantitative easing triggered by many central banks globally.
- Also, leading household names in finance including Paul Tudor Jones and Stanley Druckenmiller endorsed it as an alternative asset, adding to the rally.
- Not forgetting listed U.S brands like MicroStrategy Inc. and Square Inc. that moved their cash reserves into crypto in search of better returns than what near-zero interest rates deliver.

Also, a top crypto strategist, Rafael Schultze-Kraft in a detailed diagram revealed why the odds are still with the flagship crypto, taking into account it’s becoming pretty scarce and investors are not willing to sell relatively;
- Liquidity getting squashed, investors hoarding, accessible BTC becoming scarcer.
- 1 million Bitcoin has become illiquid this year, i.e. are held by entities that spend < 25% of coins they receive.
- Less Bitcoin for you to buy.
- Bullish.
