Stock Market Crash =\= Bitcoin Surge

Because, if a stock market crash happens USD will be affected and since BTC is tied to USD  Bitcoin would lose value. But its all poor speculation by economists.

I feel like the timing of the stock market crash was quite unfortunate for bitcoin. It just happened that bitcoin was moving into a bear market because of the divide in the community, right when the stocks started to dive. It has nothing to do with the stock markets crashing. Bitcoins trading and stock trading both are completely different so do not link together for any reason. If we would still have been in a bitcoin bull market, I'm pretty sure the stock market collapse would have boosted bitcoin coin prices further.

Bitcoin is totally independent of any stock markets so even though markets crash it actually should help bitcoin prices to move up technically.

why does that not happen then? Scared investors or big whales dominating the market to cause certain drama, create certain situations or some other third world dude profiting from it? If bitcoin price rises, it benefits the people who have invested their money in bitcoin, but then why do whales create crashes if their funds are increasing in value? Who profits if bitcoin loses value? (except banks lol)

Nice analogy.

Still, without a bull market to speculate on, we won't see large buy-ins in an economy where people are frightened to invest at all.

People will always invest until they are shackled or dead.

The question is where will the printed money go?

Buying up stocks/bonds & their derivatives so that the rich speculator gets richer?

Or buying up corn or other cereals so that the poor starves to death as all bread and bakery items will be ultra expensive?
