I believe it will strengthen bitcoin substantially, and paired with the release of Nostr, with zaps, in the same year, I t’s just a perfect vehicle for this liquidity that’s about to hit the economy.

Expect most of the settlement (that comes in the form of bitcoin) to go into cold storage and be traded with people directly.
