I predict that this, together with the warmer spring weather, will result in the second wave of the covid pandemic dying down by late April.
I predict the economy will respond by picking up speed next spring and the stock market market will surge to new record highs going into the fall.
I predict the covid virus will further mutate and will escape the vaccine by next fall, and we will see a third wave of the covid virus over the winter, and it will be more severe then the first two.
I predict even more deaths will result form the third wave over the winter of 2021-22, and Biden will order the whole country into shutdown, and the stock market and the global economy will collapse again.
I predict this will cause widespread discontent.
I predict the Rs will blame Biden for his failure to deal the virus (turnabout is fair play) and the Rs will recapture the House in the fall elections of 2022.
I predict the Rs in the house will launch an investigation of the millions of dollars communist china paid to Hunter and Joe Biden.
I predict the Rs in the house will Impeach Biden because he is compromised by China, but the Ds in the Senate will not vote to remove Joe.
I predict that shortly after surviving impeachment Joe Biden will resign the presidency due to advancing senility, and Kamala Harris will replace him as president in late 2022.
Look for Joe Biden to resign the presidency and Kamala Harris to take over as President
Cheers!

Indeed, and alas some of that sentiment is very well represented in the membership of this forum.
This is more of a prescription than a prediction, but I think the Democrats and Republicans need to split in two so that the more radical/reactionary elements can be isolated. As it is now each party is having to answer for the dysfunction of its most extreme members. You can't expect people to moderate their beliefs. The only thing within your power is to disassociate.

I don't really see any other option other than disassociation because if you have two incompatible factions within the party then it's not really a party anymore. It's like a bad marriage. The positions and actions of one side will tar and feather the other side. The walk of shame that Lindsay Graham received in the airport or Mitt Romney being chanted at in the plane for having forsaken Trump are symptomatic. You expect Democrats to hate Trump. They are the tolerated enemy. You tend to have far more hatred for what you perceive to be turncoats.
In the last 4 years the more moderate wing of the Republicans effectively sold out to Trump without being true-believers. But if your heart really isn't in it, it's only a matter of time before you are pushed against the wall and have to reveal as much.
Having to keep forcing things into a simple left/right duality simply doesn't work anymore.
I just think the two-party system has finally outlived its usefulness. The republican party is like the home of a feuding couple and one side has to abandon the home and go rent an apartment.
I think if the Republican party attempts to merely limp forward that it will tear itself to shreds.

And also, to be honest, anyone but, say, Tesla fanbois, would freely admit that most of the current daily movement in TSLA is based on speculation vs. an investment time-frame, re fundamental developments to what Tesla is doing. So does BTC need to be any different?
