Bitcoin Tops $81,000 — Debasement Trade Returns?

The framing matters more than the move itself. Calling this a 'debasement trade' revival is a narrative being applied after the fact, and the item offers no evidence that the buying is actually driven by currency-hedge demand rather than the macro uncertainty it also cites. Those two explanations imply very different holders and very different staying power, so whether the debasement label sticks — or gets quietly dropped once uncertainty resolves — is the open question.
