(Bloomberg Intelligence) -- The juxtaposition of when crude oil crossed $100 a barrel in 2008 vs. 2022 is striking, with bullish end-game implications for bitcoin and bearish notions for fossil fuels. Crude prices face a potential lose-lose akin to the collapse and recession about 14 years ago. The financial crisis marked the birth of bitcoin and North America's transition to a top energy exporter from net importer. Russia's invasion of Ukraine may mark an apex of the old world dependent on fossil fuels from dicey sources vs. the new world embracing technology, notably crypto assets.
