Really insightful and interesting article. I almost spit out my coffee when I saw the chart on inflation and recession. It just goes to show how out of touch Wall Street is with main stream America. While it's not surprising, it's a healthy dose of reality to be reminded of the disconnect between real life and the world the speculators live in.
As for BTC, wherever gains can be made, the speculators will follow. If we don't see a substantial new ATH in BTC before the years up I'll be highly surprised.
