Date: January 19th, 2018 7:18 PM Author: Angry swashbuckling address Why would the government shutting down cause people to buy more crypto? Not saying crypto won't rise during the shutdown (it tends to rise alot anyways), I'm just not sure how one would directly effect the other.

Date: January 19th, 2018 7:21 PM Author: Carnelian Locus Partner Increased fear over the govt's ability to function in a way that supports a major fiat currency. Isn't this the whole point of crypto, other than mindlessly shilling coins on social media. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3864908&forum_id=7#35192493) |

Date: January 19th, 2018 7:26 PM Author: Angry swashbuckling address Yea I guess so, but I'm not sure how much this would drive people to seriously take their money out of USD. Most people remember the last shutdown a few years ago, and consider it stupid political grandstanding. If the government stays shutdown for 6+ months, that is another story.

Date: January 19th, 2018 7:32 PM Author: Angry swashbuckling address So if the government shuts down tonight at midnight, tomorrow you are going to put $20,000 into the crypto market due to fear of the "government's ability to function"?
Crypto is the last place on earth I'd put money if I were worried about societal stability. It is completely useless in the real world, and fluctuates wildly for no reason at all.

Are these all American buyers pumping the price of crypto right now? |

Date: January 19th, 2018 7:47 PM Author: Carnelian Locus Partner I'm not saying it's entirely logical..But the link exists, and the longer the shutdown goes on, the more people get the appeal of crypto (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3864908&forum_id=7#35192649) |
