🔥 US Debt Ceiling 🚀 = Bitcoin 🚀 Is Bitcoin Apolitical ❓ NFTs on Bitcoin Blockchain crosses 100,000

👀 Politics and politicians heavily influence the future of Bitcoin. Their policies and regulations can, directly and indirectly, impact the direction and value of Bitcoin.

🟦 Reuters has reported that The Congressional Budget Office on Wednesday said the U.S. Treasury Department will exhaust its ability to pay all its bills sometime between July and September unless the current $31.4 trillion cap on borrowing is raised or suspended. This has caused the price of Bitcoin to 🚀 the moon.

🟦 CNN, The Extreme Left Media also reported that Congress needs to act soon to avoid catastrophic US debt default. The article here https://lnkd.in/dcUS9bT4 discusses
