Following on from this foray back to 2019, I recall our business turnover plummeting month on month for no good reason after 8 years of constant manageable growth.
Not being an economist or a Bitcoin enthusiast at the time I was unaware of serious issues revealing themselves in the financial world that year. Stuff that doesn't get into mainstream news.
I wouldn't be surprised if the events of 2020 were at best, a fortunate coincidence to distract us yet again from the real world consequences of accumulating government economic policy failures.
As a mate of mine says, "It's all fake." I'm not sure about "all" but certainly "too much".
