I have mixed feelings about your post. Stimulus checks were aimed to make people spend more money on everyday needs and boost the economy. If someone thinks about investing the check in crypto, it means that person has some extra money. Do people who live paycheck to paycheck make any investments? No.
p.s. There aren't any stimulus programs in my native country.
So for the average person who's living ona paycheck to paycheck basis.. do you think it's better if they spend the entire paycheck on useless stuff (or even on food) when they could try to live off the money they currently have while investing the stimulus for bad days such as those we've had with the virus? To me, it makes more sense to take that money and store it rather than spend it. Why the hell would I want to artificially boost the economy by sustaining
the already rich corporations when we could use it as a long-term plan to sustain ourselves & our family...
