Crypto analysts had mixed feelings about the US stimulus package that President Joe Biden’s team was able to get approved in both the house and the senate over the weekend.

All around market analysts indicated it would boost the price of goods and services and make sure that people would seek a hedge against dollar deflation all things which are positive for Bitcoin. Only problem is that many poorer Americans would get left behind as they don’t have the means to invest in either the stock market or crypto.

Top crypto commentator Anthony Pompliano criticized the stimulus package, as he claimed it would leave many Americans poorer in the future.
Pomp said:
Senate just approved another $1.9 trillion to pump asset prices to the moon and push the bottom 45% of Americans with no investable assets further into despair.

You know where I stand.
No one is coming to save you.
