In a post to Twitter, the author promised to buy 10 more BTC before the start of April due to his conviction around the event, which will cut the rate at which new BTC is produced in half.

“The ‘smart money’ knows the US is the biggest debtor nation in the world,” he said, citing high consumer and small business debt, domestic bank troubles, and a world “on the brink of war.”
