In which case Bitcoin will not go up. Fiat will simply go down.
In other news, watch out: Latest Mozilla update wants to route your DNS queries through cloudflare. Which since it's an internet provider means the Govt will be able to see all of your queries without a warrant.
(Run your own DNS servers ffs)
Doesn't Mozilla obey to your OS network settings?
Used to, but apparently there is a new "feature" where DNS lookups are passed to the "cloud" rather than going through your local resolver.
Thanks for the heads-up, guys. I went and found out it

I have done a bit of reading and come to the conclusion that Mozilla is, as usual, the good guy in all this. Yes, the use of cloudflare is unfortunate, but difficult to avoid, you will recall that even theymos buckled and put this very forum behind cloudflare a couple years ago.
The point about nefarious state actors now having a central collection source is well taken, but let's face it, 99.99% of people are not going to run their own DNS or a VPN. If state actors really want your lookups they are going to get them. This at least ends the casual data scraping by commercial entities.
