According to Kiyosaki, the announcement of the imminent launch of China’s CBDC is good for Bitcoin, as it announces that it will expand its funds in BTC, betting on the appreciation of the currency from the implementation of the digital yuan.
“China’s announcement to create a government digital currency is good news for Bitcoin. I’d rather have Bitcoin than a government-watched fake cryptocurrency. I’m going to buy more Bitcoin ”.
Financial celebrities’ optimism about Bitcoin has been around for a long time, but only now has it been associated with the launch in China of the world’s most anticipated CBDC.
