Whilst over in the US infections of Covid-19 are mounting like crazy, the UK is preparing for a vaccination rollout. Only possible problem is that it will coincide with Brexit. Yes, that thing that everyone has been talking about for years and thought would never happen is finally here. On 1 January 2021 the EU and the UK will officially separate and with only 24 days to go, they still don’t have a deal.

Because of this timeline, the ultimate Brexiteer Nigel Farage has been making the media rounds again, doing what he does best: exaggerating any possible dangers.

In fact, back in 2016, the then leader of the UK Independence Party or UKIP, gave a historic 4am victory speech, which paraphrased the infamous President Whitmore quote from the 1996 Roland Emmerich disaster movie Independence day, in which the character played by Bill Pullman motivated his army to defeat earth’s alien invaders.

Advertentie.

Independence day

Drunk with victory and in true Hollywood style, Mr. Farage stated to his supporters:

I hope this victory brings down this failed project and leads us to a Europe of sovereign nation states, trading together, being friends together, cooperating together, and let’s get rid of the flag, the anthem, Brussels, and all that has gone wrong. Let June 23 go down in our history as our independence day.

This time round was not as rebellious as then, but still it was quite surprising that Mr Farage is now claiming that there is only one good investment to protect yourself from what Brexit and any future lockdowns in the UK could bring: Bitcoin.

According to Nigel:

It’s the subject everyone’s talking about. From the poorest to the richest in the land, one of the conversations that are going on is about cryptocurrency. The reason is all too obvious: it’s that governments are, through this pandemic, creating vast amounts of funny money, debasing currencies, and people are scared about what this means for their money, their investments.

We will see on 1 January 2021 if Nigel was right. Should the UK government also start printing additional pounds, it is indeed true that Satoshi Nakamoto’s invention is a very good hedge against inflation.
