And while a lot changed over the course of four years, including a full-term US Presidency, a major narrative shift from Barack Obama to Donald Trump, and a jump from Democratic dominance to Republican control, nothing was anywhere near as drastic as the change in Bitcoin price.

Between the two important decision-making dates, the leading crypto asset by market cap soared by over 6400%. Since Trump took office, to now, Bitcoin price is up over 1800%.
The uncertainty in the past leading into the election has thus far always prevented Bitcoin from setting a new all-time high. But post-election, and before the new President-elect takes office, the cryptocurrency sets a new peak and begins a new bull market.
No future outlook is positive regardless of the candidate you choose, with a pandemic still roaring full steam and the fiat currency system on the brink of collapse. Whoever ends up with the job for four years certainly has their work cut out for them. Things are looking brighter for Bitcoin than they have in a long time, all while the economy, politics, and more are at their bleakest. Depending on your perspective, today is especially dark, where the fate of the United States for the next four years will be decided one way or another.
