Bitcoin has become a more attractive asset than company stocks

In the TD Ameritrade Network news release, Bitcoin is described as a more profitable investment than US stocks.

At the end of his six-minute market reviewprogram host Oliver Renick said that investors are more interested in owning bitcoin than holding stocks. He said the cryptocurrency "has great potential" as it is the only asset that has shown a bullish trend amid positive news about stimulus payments in the US.

You can call him a bitcoin cynic, but stockstocks are struggling, even though the market is already incorporating incentive payments into the trend. From the very beginning of this review, Oliver Renick says that the BTC rally is "the most positive thing for Bitcoin bugs."

White House and Democrats in the US Congresscame close to agreeing on the size and details of the next coronavirus benefit package. President Donald Trump has said he is willing to allow larger measures, despite opposition from members of his own Republican Party.

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell from Kentucky is deliberately sabotaging COVID-19 aid negotiations, and Colorado residents receive nothing but the cowardly silence of their Senator Corey Gardner.

Some media also reported that investors did notconfident in the next package of stimuli and not optimistic about it. This was one of the reasons why the US dollar and stocks fell on the same day.

In his comment to Bloomberg, the head of departmentNatWest Markets Strategies James McCormick said that "people are increasingly recognizing that reaching agreement on a fiscal package ahead of an election is unlikely."

Bitcoin, in a sense, also acted more like a safe haven asset.
