The world is being rebuilt digitally, and entire countries are suddenly starting to realize that! El Salvador started the trend, and now Brazil is jumping one board.
It’s about a lot more than just investing and pumping your bags. It’s no secret that portfolios with Bitcoin have outperformed those without.
However, inflation is here, and it’s not transitory. It’s actually here to stay for now and into the foreseeable future as rampant money printing has become the norm.
Having Bitcoin and Ethereum in your countries portfolio is both an offensive and defensive strategy as fiat currencies begin to collapse. However, not having Bitcoin or Ethereum in your portfolio is irresponsible at this point, considering their historical performance.
