The Czech government survived a political storm this week and survived a no-confidence vote caused by a $45 million Bitcoin payment from convicted criminals.

The scandal shook Prime Minister Petr Fiara’s administration a few months before the general election, Reuters reported.

The 468 Bitcoin payment was made to the state by a man who was previously imprisoned for running a darknet drug market known as the Sheep Marketplace.

The donation was accepted by then Minister of Justice Pavel Blazek. Pavel Blazek later resigned in repulsion on behalf of the government. Bitcoin is sold for around 1 billion Czech Koruna and is worth around $45 million.

The opposition party who leads the poll ahead of the October vote filed a motion for no confidence, denounced the control coalition for potentially helping to wash illegal assets due to unknown sources of BTC.

Critics say the government should have involved prosecutors or police instead of accepting potentially contaminated crypto funds. After two days of discussion, Motion failed in the House. There, the Fiala Union holds a majority.

Still, Blazek argued that he acted legally in accepting donations.

The donor’s motives remain unknown. The incident shook the government of the country earlier this year that approved a proposal by the central bank to study Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Chief of the Czech National Bank, Yale Mischur, even said that Bitcoin is even “collected” with the cryptocurrency.

Poly market traders are now seeing the main opposition party of October, ANO, win parliamentary elections. The recognized odds of the results are currently 92%, but Blazek’s ODS party chances are just 6%.

Greater chance ‘Bitcoin survives over the dollar in our lifetime after today’ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/greater-chance-bitcoin-survives-over-the-dollar-in-our-lifetime-after-today/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/greater-chance-bitcoin-survives-over-the-dollar-in-our-lifetime-after-today/#respond Wed, 09 Apr 2025 09:20:36 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/greater-chance-bitcoin-survives-over-the-dollar-in-our-lifetime-after-today/

Bitcoin may have a greater probability of outlasting the dollar over the next three decades, according to Jeff Park, Head of Alpha Strategies at Bitwise Invest, who described the prospect as “an actual truth to grapple with.” He said,

“Higher chance bitcoin survives over the dollar in our lifetime after today.”

The remark followed a liquidity rupture in the bond market overnight, where a sharp dislocation in the SOFR-Fed Funds spread signaled deepening stress in short-term funding.

The spread, shown on a Bloomberg terminal chart Park labeled “the most important,” fell to -3.46 basis points. The SOFR-forward versus Fed Funds curve is often used to gauge liquidity stress. A negative reading points to dislocations in short-term collateral demand, often appearing ahead of broader volatility.

Park’s interpretation comes as multiple metrics align: hedge funds appear to be deleveraging, Treasury yields are rising during equity selloffs, and traditional “risk-off” assets are being sold en masse.

Spencer Hakimian, Founder of Tolou Capital Management, noted a rapid breakdown in the 10-year yield market late Monday, describing a liquidation spiral. The basis trade, a long-standing arbitrage between Treasury futures and bonds, may have unraveled due to leverage stress, driving forced sales in U.S. government debt.

Luke Broyles from TheBTCAdviser added that the absence of demand for bonds amid equity turmoil signals eroding faith in traditional safe havens. Despite a recent 30% Bitcoin drawdown, Broyles maintains that Treasuries are still collapsing relative to BTC.

Trade instability has compounded structural fragility. President Trump’s tariffs now target over 60 nations, including China, the EU, and Japan, with some levies exceeding 100%.

China’s retaliation, coupled with rare earth export curbs, has disrupted global supply chains. Broyles, referencing these macro shifts, concluded that he has not found a scenario where Bitcoin fails to outperform both equities and bonds.
