NEW: 🟠 Billionaire Dan Morehead on Bitcoin:

"What's going on in the inflation markets and the bond markets is reminding people that the government hasn't been protective of paper money. It's debasing it at a rapid rate."

"Anytime the government gets as squirrely as they are with the bond market or inflation, it makes people look at alternatives and Bitcoin's a great alternative."

"Bullish on Bitcoin because the Fed is still way behind... The Fed has created 30% inflation in this decade already."
