So? I assume you've adjusted the Y axis to try and show a correlation, but I honestly can't think of any reason why central bank balance sheets (assets?) would be correlated with movements in Bitcoin's (exchange rate?). The movement of Bitcoin is so much more volatile it doesn't fit within the graph. I would try plotting changes in an aggregate of stock indices against changes in Bitcoin. Regulatory thinking is that crypto should be considered a security, so that might be interesting.

The influence of Twitter isn't Twitter. At least not directly. Journalists and media execs are all over Twitter. They then magnify what they see by covering it and amplifying Twitter BS through other media. That's why Trump was able to leverage his Twitter presence so effectively. Trump posts some dumbass tweet while taking a dump. Fox News and the rest of right wing media amplify it Other media start covering the dumpster fire. Aaaand there goes a whole news cycle. It's definitely about unemployed young people, regardless of political affiliation.
