US – China trade war, a "good" for Bitcoin?

According to a recent report on CNBC, the White House would be considering stopping US companies from investing in China. It is also for this reason that the actions of the main Chinese companies have suffered important repercussions, only to witness the declarations of the American Treasury, which has silenced the rumors.

That being the case, as the world falters on the brink of a global recession, a wave of further hostilities does nothing to resolve the nervousness.
