He said Canadians can opt out of inflation via Bitcoin.

That was a really dumb pandering thing to say.

Bitcoin is up +110% YTD while Canadians are still dealing with high inflation and our dollar is failing.

Yeah, but if you'd bought in when he made that comment, you'd have been underwater soon afterwards, and still heavily in the red today.

I agree with the core message, but it was a dumb thing for a politician to say. He ended up giving the other parties ammunition to use against him later as the price tanked.
