Mike Belshe, the CEO of cryptocurrency asset manager BitGo, recently took to Twitter to warn that COVID-19 lockdowns will force people out of fiat currency and turn to Bitcoin and gold. Belshe has urged his followers to divert at least 3% of their portfolio into Bitcoin.
The CEO noted that the US government’s decision to impose a lockdown due to “political correctness” will increase the devaluation of fiat currencies, making it difficult for citizens to hold them.
The government is being forced to maintain lockdowns for political correctness, which will force them to print money even faster. Institutional investors are flagging this and recognize the devaluation will make cash hard to hold.
According to an earlier Cointelegraph report, MicroStrategy, a billion-dollar corporation, announced that it had adopted Bitcoin as its treasury reserve asset. Belshe noted that institutional investors are increasingly turning to gold and Bitcoin amidst uncertain times. He urged people to start investing in the leading digital asset if they already haven’t
They're [instittional investors] looking for alternatives, and it… comes down to Bitcoin and gold. If you don't have some Bitcoin now, it is time to put at least 3% of your net worth into Bitcoin. This is the lowest risk, highest asymmetric upside investment you will likely see in your lifetime.
