After dropping to lows of around $4000 when markets went into freefall following the coronavirus outbreak, Bitcoin bounced back to a near to all-time high of around $19,500.

So, with the price rallying, what is the bullish case for Bitcoin?

Vijay Boyapati highlighted the potential with his article The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, making a case for why it is the hardest form of money and the best store of value. 

In this interview, we discuss the originals of the article, why Bitcoin is so important and why we should be bullish about its future.

It’s been over two weeks now since the 2020 Presidential Election, and we are no closer to knowing what the outcome will be. Joe Biden continues to lead his transition team and develop his prospective cabinet, whilst the Trump campaign continues to raise numerous allegations of widespread fraud.

Fractures are opening up between Washington politicians and state officials who manage the election processes. News networks are dominated by [artisan viewpoints, with the issue leading to significant increases in viewership for new conservative networks such as Newsmax at the expense of Fox News. In the meantime, protest marches are being organised in various states, that are starting to lead to pockets of violence breaking out.

The situation is all leading to a general distrust of elected officials and the political process. But public trust in the institutions has been eroding for decades. It was the Watergate scandal, where investigative journalism shone a light on illegal and unethical actions at the highest levels of government, that faith in the political establishment began to crumble. However, it has been the combined impact of events following 9/11 that have resulted in public trust for all institutions dropping sharply.

The Iraq War, the impact of Katrina on New Orleans, and the global financial crisis, all provided ample evidence to the public of dishonest, incompetent, immoral, and arguably illegal behaviour by those who hold power. Now, those in power are using this cynicism to sow further division. As a result, trust in government, big businesses, and the media, were all at record lows as we entered the 2020 Presidential election.

When faith in the establishment has all but gone, it is possible to contemplate that a political party could successfully steal an election. These are perilous times.

Over a week after the 2020 Presidential Election and we are still waiting for agreement on the winner. Following an extended period of uncertainty, when the counting of votes in numerous swing States was still ongoing, on Saturday 7th November, the media declared Joe Biden the winner of the electoral college and the designated President-Elect. World leaders quickly sent congratulatory messages.

However, Donald Trump, his campaign, the Republican National Committee, and various prominent Republicans such as Ted Cruz and Linsey Graham, are refusing to accept the legitimacy of the result.

The traditional concession speech has not yet happened. In the meantime, there have multiple allegations of voter fraud, electoral anomalies and ballot tampering, focusing on the mail-in ballots. There has also been anonymous whistleblower allegations on Fox News, numerous lawsuits filed in the battleground states, and sworn affidavits submitted as evidence. So far, none of the lawsuits have provided any evidence of fraud, and even Republican operatives involved in the recount of Florida votes in the 2000 Presidential election have stated the lawsuits are without merit.

There isn't even a consensus in what people believe: one poll shows 70% of Republicans say the election wasn't 'free or fair', whilst another poll indicates 80% of all American's believe Biden won the election.

The chaos of the election reflects the chaos of the last four years. How has it come to this? And how do we move forward?

With the 2020 election upon us, America is deeply divided. While Donald Trump seemed to be heading for a certain second term, the Coronavirus pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement have changed everything.

The Republican and Democratic parties are at war, fighting this election dirty. With such deep divisions, what role has news, social media and technology played in creating these divisions and why has Trump’s first term been so chaotic?

In a world of lies, foreign disinformation, partisan news and social media echo chambers, what is the truth?
