Bitcoin began trading cautiously on Monday as US lawmakers struggled to finalize a stimulus plan following its expiry on July 31. The critical point of difference between Democrats and Republicans continues to be the proposed $1,200 assistance for the unemployed. A final stimulus announcement could put more downside pressure on the US dollar, which, in turn, could help Bitcoin to rise higher. Bitcoin started Monday on a cautious note as investors waited for the US lawmakers to finalize the next stimulus bill. Democrats and Republicans laid out their competing versions of the relief package. One of the key sticking points concerned the unemployment assistance. The Republicans offered to reduced the federal boost to $200 per week. Nevertheless, the Democrats want the House to keep the relief at the old level of $600 a week. \u201cWe\u2019ve been for the $600. They have a $200 proposal, which does not meet the needs of America\u2019s working families, and it\u2019s a condescension, quite frankly,\u201d House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. “They\u2019re saying, \u2018They really don\u2019t need it. They\u2019re just staying home because they make more money at $600,\u2019\u201d she added. On the other hand, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin argued that their administration is worried about the debt burden following the second stimulus package. \u201cThere\u2019s obviously a need to support workers, support the economy,\u201d Mr. Mnuchin said. \u201cOn the other hand, we have to be careful about not piling on enormous amounts of debt.\u201d Bitcoin Rebounds The anticipation of a new stimulus bill kept the bids for safe-haven assets like Bitcoin higher.
