Bitcoin's vs negative yielding debt

Bicoin remains one of the most crowded trades out there, although it has become somewhat "boring" lately.
As DiMartino Booth of Quill intelligence writes;
1, Negative-yielding sovereign debt doubled in just nine months in 2019 to a then-high of $16.8 trillion; though the Fed’s corporate debt bailout last March avoided negative rate adoption, it led to a fevered pace of issuance that took negative-yielding debt to a record $17.8 trillion
2, As seen by Bitcoin’s 2017 high amidst fears of negative-yielding sovereign debt hitting $10 trillion, the two assets tend to move together; that has changed since the Georgia runoffs, with $3 trillion in negative-yielding debt being erased while Bitcoin has more than doubled
Obviously there is much more to the bitcoin story, but watch the negative yielding debt closely...
