Tyler Winklevoss: New US $900B COVID-19 Stimulus Bill Is ‘Advertisement’ for Bitcoin

Tyler Winklevoss has called the new coronavirus stimulus package “another $900 billion advertisement for Bitcoin.”

The United States Congress passed the new $900 billion COVID-19 stimulus bill into law on Monday ending the long-standing stalemate that plagued the negotiations for months. Per an earlier report by NPR, the United States Senate passed the new COVID-19 stimulus bill in 92-6 votes, complement an earlier move by the House of Representatives to ratify the bill.

The series of events that can lead to such broad economic inflation was evident when the first tranche of stimulus checks was issued and this situation may likely be repeated with the newly ratified bill,
