    Its counter cyclical like gold is. In a market crash where aggregate demand drops and interest rates fall it can be used as collateral to fund bailouts as it rises in value. At least I assume that’s why central banks historically buy gold for undergoing Keynesian economics.

    Bitcoin actually goes up far more than gold during QE as well in its short history, and the supply will soon rise dramatically slower than gold, as each 4 years the new supply halves.
