It has gone from a niche asset driven by retail to being held on the balance sheet of some of the most forward-thinking corporations in the world.

Over the last 18 months, more than $5 trillion dollars have been created in the US alone. This increasing supply of money is driving prices higher. CPI in the US is now at 5.4%, and while the FED continues to claim inflation will be transitory, this looks highly doubtful. How high will inflation go, and is bitcoin truly a hedge?
