The West had to get rid of President Trump. What better way then to release a virus with a 99.7% survival rate, give the virus a “scary” name like COVID-19, and then push mail-in voting where most states have election laws where it makes it easy to cheat? Their plan wasn’t that sophisticated. Tons of people bought the narrative, including many bitcoiners.
On top of that, during the COVID era you saw the largest wealth transfer in World History. Lock everyone down except the businesses the elite own, crush small businesses so the common man is reliant on the Government, print money out of thin air and give them out as stimulus checks, etc. The lockdowns were more about stopping the money velocity of the money they printed out of thin air being injected into the world economy. That’s why inflation was under control during the lockdowns and shot up as soon as the lockdowns were lifted around the world.
