Is Bitcoin’s Record-High Price a Sign Inflation is at a Crisis Point?

Is Bitcoin’s record-setting price a sign inflation is at a crisis point? If you believe tech billionaire, Peter Thiel, it is.

The PayPal co-founder explains, the US Federal Reserve incorrectly thought it could launch a huge stimulus during the pandemic without pushing up inflation.

The result? The US inflation rate has hit a 13-year high and the economy is facing a “crisis moment” according to Thiel.

“Inflation is here to stay, and I wish I had bought more bitcoin,” he says at the National Conservatism Conference on Sunday.

Bitcoin supporters have long maintained the currency is “digital gold” – a scarce asset that will hold its value in times of rising inflation. The coin hit a new record high of over $82,000 CAD in October, in part because of investors’ concerns over rising prices.  Do you agree with Peter Thiel?

Even more importantly, do you think you can beat him at chess, even though he is rated a master by the US Chess Federation?

Shaw’s first interaction with the crypto market was a celebrity drop on the newly launched NFT marketplace, NFT STARS.
