A popular cryptocurrency strategist is saying that Bitcoin (BTC) is inadvertently undergoing a positive brand-building process.
In a new interview with David Lin, the anonymous host of InvestAnswers says that Bitcoin is currently “witnessing its best marketing campaign ever.”
According to the analyst, the ongoing banking crisis has led to the increased adoption of Bitcoin as people seek safe havens.
“During this last crisis of the last 10 days, we had the most rapid acceleration of new Bitcoin wallets we’ve seen. And of course, Bitcoin has gone up 70% in the last 90 days. Extraordinary movement for an asset like that.
And the question the people face, like you mentioned, it’s a brilliant question – what do you do, okay? I can’t trust the banks, I can’t trust the treasuries because the US government is printing money like crazy, so it’s going to debase like crazy.

“In terms of a store of value, I look at something that is not very well adopted and at the same time has a lot of value and is extremely hard i.e. there can’t be more of it printed. That is Bitcoin.
You know 2.5% of the world has adopted it, but 97.5% of the world hate it. And they hate it because they don’t have it. And they hate it with a vengeance.
