You all thought Trump love bitcoin? But his policies is not making sense for bitcoin price to increase. His tariff plan on import of goods from Canada and Mexico caused the price of bitcoin to decrease. He paused it but later said yesterday that the tariff will become effect starting from next week. Bitcoin fell again and now below $90000.

Yeah, because this could lead to slower economic growth and higher inflation. When inflation is high, people might struggle to invest in Bitcoin since they’ll have less disposable income to put into assets like crypto. But for now, this is all just speculation as we haven’t seen the actual effects yet. Maybe we just need to wait and observe whether it will really impact the market, especially since Trump’s policies are known to be strong and unpredictable.

He has stated that he wants the U.S. to be the crypto capital of the world, which could mean more accumulation. If the U.S. ever considers holding Bitcoin as a national reserve, that would definitely be a bullish sign.

For now, though, everything is still up in the air. The recent price dump isn’t just about Trump’s policies, the Bybit hack, which was one of the biggest in crypto history, is also making headlines and possibly causing panic among weak hands.

All is too general
Not everyone believed Trump loved Bitcoin
I think it was a means to an end.
I'm not surprised with our performance lately
I believe he's going to benefit when Bitcoin falls
So he can accumulate "crypto " cheaper before their pump.


Sadly we ain't creating new ATH
The good thing is we can buy cheaper.

Well Its going to be what it is. He did made the price of BTC go up in the beginning of his 2nd term until this tariff will take effect and will make prices of everything higher. A lot of things will not be affordable sooner, the price of eggs started a week ago. Trump will probably make BTC fall for now and it will rise also before his term ends.

The pattern seem to be forming, every after bull run, there is an exchange that will fall before the bears dominate. Last bull run it was FTX and now I think its going to be bybit.

Why relating Bybit to what is going on and with what happened to FTX? It is not related to what is happening now and FTX collapse. Bybit hack was of huge amount but Bybit was able to make its exchange not collapse. It has nothing to do with the price of bitcoin that is falling right now.

Macron has been handling the economic tensions with surprising skill, showing that diplomatic finesse can counterbalance aggressive trade posturing. There's a massive difference between Trump's rhetoric and actual implementation  his tendency to bluff and use threats as negotiation tactics is well documented.

That is because his policies are not focused on making bitcoin's price increase. He is thinking of the US first and foremost so whatever is its affect on bitcoin is second priority. But also I think he is focused more on long term adaption of bitcoin rather than just making it increase in price for a few days then that is it. I think he wants to really make the country bitcoin friendly for over a long period of time.

Another reason for this is the proposed retaliatory tariff from China, Mexico as you can read in the quote:

Even though I feel that Trump's announcement has caused this it seems to me that it will not last for an extended period, and the price of Bitcoin will not fall below 80,000. If the report from Trump's working group,  “AI and Crypto Czar” led by David Sacks, is released, the price of Bitcoin will rise.
 

By increasing import tariff? Sending immigrants back home? Both that will increase inflation in the country.

Without Trump, bitcoin will continue to be an asset of value. He cares more about altcoins and Trump token.

Bitcoin increased during Biden time. Gary Gensler accepted bitcoin ETF. You will say they want to make US more crypto friendly. Not bitcoin because US was always bitcoin friendly.

Trump is not going to do anything to directly influence bitcoin. I don't think Trump was a lover of bitcoin on its own. There was a reason why his view shifted. He was in league with a lot of top dogs from Silicon Valley and a lot of these guys were not against bitcoin, so it would be like a conflict of interest if he was talking about being on the side of these software technologies owned by these guys, but he was against bitcoin.
Trump is not a man to change his view simply because he sees that he was wrong, there has to be more to it and that is what I've always believed and still believe.



The situation of bybit and FTX are not the same.
With bybit, they lost money which you can consider as a bump on the road, but they will be fine, in the case of FTX, they crashed totally. They lost customer's funds, they made poor and greedy decisions with the funds. I

CMIIW, I read that the tariff has been started since February 4, 2025, but why the effect happened today?

I think the journalists were trying to find something to blame behind the recent dump of Bitcoin.

The bad thing is, this tariff imposed by US was just a beginning, I read that Trump will add more tariff until the next year.

It's really funny someone utilize this moment for his personal benefit, where was him when Bitcoin price hit $109K? :D Bitcoin is a bubble and will blow up someday, says Jim Rogers (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-is-a-bubble-and-will-blow-up-someday-says-jim-rogers/articleshow/118557424.cms)

This could only just be a coincidence and nothing else like what you’re insinuating. FTX collapse has the total exchange going bankrupt and stop their services entirely, whereas Bybit only faced a little setback which only caused panic but never affected most users that are using their services. It was an hack and they’ve been able to resolve the problem and get everything working back. Even as it is not good to save huge amount of money on exchanges, the Bybit attack has nothing to do with bitcoin fall in price now.

I'd say, give him time to make it up for Bitcoin. It's too quick to hope for something that it's not urgent and not a priority. And I won't blame the tariff policies that he's got for the plunging of Bitcoin's price. Despite that we're in a bull run, these drops are normal to see. It might have an effect but I don't think it's the sole reason why we're see a huge drop. While Bitcoin moves a lot rapidly, it is to be expected that whenever it corrects, it could be heavy too.

His policies are becoming counterproductive to the global economy. Investors are moving to low risk assets because of the fear of the unknown. Hopefully the trade war will be settled very soon and the global economy will recover which will equally affect the price of Bitcoin positively.


These exchanges will always claim that they have enough to cover the losses. But the company might be going through lots of financial that will be hidden from the public. In some cases, it takes months for the effect to become visible.

i agree with what you said that with or without trump, bitcoin will continue to grow. what he did yesterday when he supported bitcoin in his campaign was just a contradiction to the biden administration which did not openly support bitcoin. however, if we look at it, even though the biden administration did not fully support bitcoin, at that time the price of bitcoin also increased. so i feel that in this case there is no need to expect too much from trump, because his focus now is different compared to his campaign period which was too enthusiastic in supporting bitcoin.

 Trump believes so much in these tariffs. To him they will boost the economy of the country and protect the country from illegal immigration and the flow of drugs. Although it's giving the opposite effect as it is since prices are skyrocketing and businesses are being affected, also affecting Bitcoin price but maybe it's only a matter of time before things become stable.
 Except there would be a major purchase of Bitcoin from other countries or businesses that aren't acutely affected by these tariffs from Trump, Bitcoin price may drop further and I won't hurriedly say the president has swept the plans he has for Bitcoin under the rug (yet). Let's just see how things hold up till the end of March. Maybe he'd lessen them when things get out of hand.

Lol! Trump is sure a businessman but one thing he is forgetting. In this world, no country can walk alone. The economy is based on collaboration. The way Trump is moving, might damage US economy for the decades to come. Bitcoin is just a small part of it.

Trump is supposed to create some policies that will support the crypto businesses in US. But we haven't seen anything coming yet. So expect more bumpy rides for Bitcoin and for the economy as a whole.

Trump promises about Bitcoin is in motion as he as already set up a committee that will bring a template on how Bitcoin can be incorporated into the banking sector especially as it concerns about regulation and making Bitcoin legal in the United States of America so I will disagree with you in the context that your going because I don't see the connections of the tax trump plan to impose on certain countries to the volatility of the price of Bitcoin that we are currently experiencing

The truth of the matter is that what is happening is a political issue and should not be linked to Bitcoin there's a power play going on by the political class in the world political sector, if you where only saying that wether people where enjoying Trump's policies especially his plans to stop funding the USAID and other executive orders that he has passed then I would have seen reason with you but bringing bitcoin to it no trump is in the process of fulfilling his promises Concerning bitcoin because his plans are already in motion

Trump cannot change the general policies of the US finances, because the decision cannot be his alone. America is a state of institutions and the president can implement his plan through appointments to major decision-making positions. Trump can grant a pardon to a convict in cases related to crypto, but it is not easy to change the entire system. Currently, US policies in general can be considered somewhat crypto-friendly and the SEC is trying to keep up with developments. Many experts believe that countries are still not ready to facilitate the use of crypto in full.

I don't know if Bybit has recovered all the losses as they claim or if they are still facing issues that the public is not aware of, as you suspect. But one thing is for sure, when the incident happened, a lot of users withdrew money en masse and the number reached 5 billion dollars but no one complained about not being able to withdraw money or losing money. So far everything has been going very well with bybit, no complaints or accusations from their users. This is in stark contrast to what FTX did, thousands of investors lost money and have yet to receive full compensation.

It is obvious that comparing bybit with FTX is unfair to bybit and we should not equate all centralized exchanges as bad as FTX or Mt.gox. As I see, bybit is getting huge support and praise from the community because they handled the issue perfectly, only a few are badmouthing them and maybe because of jealousy.

Bitcoin price table and its ROI show that Bitcoin has been growing very parabolically over years without Trump. Bitcoin history since 2009 includes 4 years of his first Presidency from 2016 to 2020, but you can see Trump departure from White House 4 years ago did not impact Bitcoin to fall down.

Trump is in the White House oval office again, and will be there next 4 years, but Bitcoin existence or chance of existence will be longer than next four years. Its adoption and price can be affected by many things globally, not only what will happen in the USA under Presidency of Trump or other Presidents.

Even you like Trump individually, like his policy on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, assess his policies positively, it does not change that Bitcoin future won't depend on next 4 years of his presidency.

i never believed in Trump promises because he has once promise and failed. i even sound it as a warning in several of my post that folks should not have high hope in Trump because politicians can do anything to get what they want, and i guess my prediction about Trump is gradually manifesting. but then lets not get into conclusion for now. but i think this is an avenue to accumulate more bitcoin now the market is bloody before it take it pace.

Unfortunately, all the dreams that Bitcoin lovers built on Trump's victory and his encouragement of Bitcoin have gone down the drain. Trump started his term by issuing a meme about himself and his wife, and his reckless decisions have caused the price of Bitcoin to continue to fall since he took office until now.

A quick look shows that during Biden's term, despite his hostility to Bitcoin, the price of Bitcoin has risen significantly, while the opposite is happening during Trump's term, who supports Bitcoin. A truly funny paradox.

Well there is the only 1 thing for me that does matter with President Trump. And that is how he will make the price of Bitcoin go up more.And when he did become the US President then we did see Bitcoin price go up.

I do not think it will be 89k now if he was not American President. So for now I am liking what he is doing for crypto. And I do think we will see a 'bull run' come in next few months.

Biden administration was hostile to cryptocurrencies that were seen as securities and not commodities. The government was not hostile to bitcoin because bitcoin is seen as a commodity and not security.

I think many dont fully understand how economy works (I dont claim that I under it fully either). People complain and accuse Trump for his actions to decrease Bitcoin price; they do it so directly. That new tariffs immediately hit Bitcoin and makes its price to go down. That every his decision makes instant impact on Bitcoin price, that everything must happen instantly. Whenever he does anything, people redirect it as a bad effect and reason for Bitcoin price to go down. I even saw someone saying that his latest announcement of "Golden card for rich foreigners" and its price of $5 millions, a path to US citizenship, was the reason for yesterdays Bitcoin price drop. Because people withdrew money from crypto to buy it.

Trump has never been my person, is it for his ego, authoritarian/tyrannical attitude, selfishness, lies/deception among many others? I don't support nonsense.

It's the tip of an iceberg we've seen and I remember I warned people about this guy, Trump is not who they think he is, he wanted to win the US election and make money through crypto and people fell for it, and of course, he won and has gained billions of dollars already.

But I must admit that I love his business brain, I just dislike people's gullibility, they just can't read beyond what people say or make them see.

So far, he has pardoned Ross Ulbricht, lifted draconian cryptocurrency regulations enacted by the Biden administration, and he has also asked the SEC and related agencies to issue a clear regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry...He also recently emphasized once again about making the US a crypto hub and he is still trying to do that. We can see he has been keeping his promise, what more could you want from him?

If I remember correctly, he never promised to find a way to make bitcoin hit $1 million and pump trillions of dollars into the market so that the market would grow thousands of percent and everyone would profit. All those things are just people's expectations and when things don't go as expected, people start complaining and blaming him.

We need to be realistic, he never made those promises and crypto was never his top priority. Making America great again is his main goal.

It must have been affected when Donald Trump came out with his support for Bitcoin when he ran for President of the United States. People who understand how to behave will also be affected, although not all of them.
I was also affected by everything Trump brought, but all of that was like a shadow that disappeared when the sky was clear.

Enjoying it, yes, it must be enjoyed so that from experience it can be a valuable lesson. If the current decline can be suspected of being due to his influence, then there will be a time when the price will go back up. Keep enjoying it.

I think it's too early to reply to this, the guy's just a month in office and he's trying to fix things he thinks was spoilt by by his predecessors. It's to early to accertain this and I believe in a 6 month assessment period before I can comfortable say his policies are good or bad. Let's give him more time for benefits of doubt.

Who thought that Trump loves Bitcoin? Back in 2017-2021 Trump hated crypto. He promised pro-crypto regulations only for the crypto bros to vote for him. Trump doesn't care about Bitcoin and he never did. He cares about his personal wealth and power.
Yes, Trump's economic policies are weird, but who knows what is going to happen. Maybe Trump will take a step back and postpone the tariffs for Mexico and Canada.
The current BTC price drop isn't caused by Trump only. The Bybit hack also had a small role in increasing the levels of FUD over the crypto markets.

Actually even if he says something good about Bitcoin still we cannot really pleased him not to do any implementation that can possibly bother the current price growth of Bitcoin.

For now maybe we see some negative effects of that action he do. But maybe if they pay attention back with their plans on Bitcoin also with other crypto then maybe this might be one of the reason the market would recover.  But people should not put all their trust on Trump since remember that he's a Bitcoin hater before and maybe there might be some changes that might happen especially that he already get what he want.

Trump this and that but I have a feeling that man will touch Bitcoin last among the things he has a plan Bitcoin. Among all his campaign promises, he hasn't done 10% which are more priorities to the country but everyone here thinks Bitcoin comes before anything in his life, it might happen but not as fast as we expect it to happen. It will years or probably his end of his tenure to protect his meme own meme coins, remember that if it's not in their interests, they wouldn't sign it.

I saw his Gold card of $5m to have privileges of green card as a citizen of united state and I just laugh. What's in the world is that guy trying to do but I don't blame him, that his country and they built it with their own taxes, it's left for the rich folks that want to afford it to go there or not but even if I have that amount of money, I will used it to invest in more business outside US that I made it and probably go other countries for fun, they can go to hell with that card of $5m.

What we should be looking for isn't just how good he is for bitcoin, but what he does for it. Just saying bitcoin is great won't be enough, sure he made bitcoin price go up, lets assume that, but does that mean that we are going to end up with a good return right now too?

That makes no sense, we should not be really considering what he "says" as important, it's really worthless, it could make the price go up, which goes down eventually. What he does is the real key here, if he can do the whole strategic reserve thing, and make the government keep investing into it, like they do with gold and foreign currency, then we could really end up with a good thing for bitcoin, not temporary but actually a permeant thing for sure.

I will first start with the connection between Donald Trump polices and the price of Bitcoin.
I have said it before those involved in Crypto-currency are fast letting actions of politicians to seriously affect Crypto-currency. When Donald Trump was campaigning he took advantage of the crypto community and the community fell for it there by attaching the future price action to be determined by Donald Trump polices, that is what we are experiencing now.
I think we should let politicians do their job without selfishly wanted them to automatically grow our Crypto-currency portfolio.

Am not saying that trump will come and change the financial system that exists in the United States of America because in every society there are institutions and laws that guides society but I was only saying that when it comes the the issue of crypto currency especially Bitcoin trump is going to fulfill his promises Concerning it because already trump has set up a committee that will come up with the physical framework in terms of the policy formulation especially laws that will make Bitcoin to be incorporated into the financial sector and that means that trump is not just going to give an executive order concerning it but he will sent  through the American Senate for approval

Trump coming to power in this second term is link to his comment concerning crypto currency so am quite sure that he is going to fulfill his promises because if he fails to do that his party is going to lose the next U.S presidential election  so when it comes to crypto trump is going to deliver on his campaign promises
https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/trump-signs-order-create-cryptocurrency-working-group-2025-01-23/

I think Trump's main objective is to make life harder for immigrants such that they start moving out - the overpopulation burden is now hitting the Americans hard and shutting down systems that have been a waste of money to save that money for the future. Reverse the brain-drain.

I have always been skeptical of Trump's approach to bitcoin, he is a businessman after all, he takes pride in the casinos he invests in and he would want them to do well and see bitcoin rise.

However this is just the start, lets see if mid-term or long-term benefits actually happen.

Trump doesn't give two shits about BTC and any other cryptocurrency for that matter. He just wanted support from the crypto community and he needed to appease Musk too who has a huge stake in crypto.

Was always expecting a major correction. Am just glad that BTC price is still stable and pretty high currently and I hope it doesn't drop a lot lower in the coming days.

The good thing about all the controversy about Trump is that, I don't have to like him or dislike him. I am pretty sure he doesn't really impact my life at all, sure he does have some discussions with other nations, Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Canada, Mexico etc etc, so he is not only for USA to deal with, other nations deal with him too, but not my nation, not as far as I can see, so I am fine with it.

I do not have a reason to hate his presidency, I can tell you that much, he has not done anything that hurt me so far from what I understand. Personally? Like who he is? That's out of question, dude is a sicko weirdo there is no doubt about that, he shouldn't even be a president, his personality sucks, but Biden was a lovely guy, and he didn't really had any impact neither, so personality doesn't really matter at all.

I have been saying from the very beginning that you shouldn't believe everything politicians say. Maybe this step with duties is done with good intentions, but that doesn't mean it will lead to good consequences. As for Trump and Bitcoin, at first, Bitcoin grew well on the positive side of his victory, now there is a correction, and so far I see no signs that the bull market is over, such corrections are normal for Bitcoin. I don't expect Trump to be able to accept Bitcoin as a reserve for the US, but I believe Bitcoin can continue to grow even without this news, and I expect the main growth in the fall of this year.

Not in the slightest, he’s tanking stocks & crypto. He’s putting tariffs on other countries which is going to cause massive inflation. I am not a Democrat but I am hating the start of Trump’s Presidency. I did not expect this but he is causing a big problem for everybody. I really hope things get better soon.

Or maybe don't believe all of it? As we know that they are prone from false promises. I'm not saying all of them though and we can also rely on their histories. If it is good, then we can believe on them, as there is also a good chance that they will still be like that but we can doubt it if they aren't or if they are a new candidate.

You see no signs huh but what about the correction? Isn't that a sign? And it is not just a normal correction I believe because the decline is stronger and longer. Definitely, Bitcoin can go or grow on its own but the main growth must be done already and it may take some time again for us to see another bull run.

We just have to take things by the way they were, this regime will favour some and on the same vein may not favour some people because there will be policy change and implementations on different sections, all these are going to be part of their own measures in seing that they make a way forward for their economy boost while the same activities are going to be affecting on others, but relatively in crypto, I don't think we should have much impact like that affecting the markets.

Everybody feel very disappointed in him because we all thought that his reign will be different from every other in the home of cryptocurrency but instead his reign is even taking from the Bitcoin, I don't even no if he deceived us about the things he said about Bitcoin or he is yet to come back to it. Is barely a month and half for him and Bitcoin has falling so bad and is going to bring a controversy to some persons because some came because of Trump alert and now they wouldn't no what to do, I no Bitcoin is a volatile coin but since Trump enter it has been a default. I wish I had your skeptical believe on him so that I wouldn't have been surprise again.

So far trump's administration has been going quite well, I must admit that america hasn't been this stable for a long time. One crime that has stopped is police brutality, white cops have been oppressing black people for a long time but since trump became president he has eliminated corruption with the law enforcement agencies. The only down side to his administration is the drastic fall of Bitcoin and other crypto currency. Experts are saying that this dip I tied to his administration, I can't really explain why, is there anyone that can explain this better? Let's hope that he does things to favor the financial market.

Do you think that could be the reason that is responsible for the dropping of the price of. Bitcoin?
The price of Bitcoin falling depends on so many factors that we can not arguly specify because this is not due to a single reason but multiple ones.

Many investors are already panicking and contemplating whether to sell their Bitcoin holding and wait for another opportunity to buy or just keep holding. Many people are confused and we need to understand the main cause of the price of Bitcoin depreciating drastically. We never thought that the price of Bitcoin is going to fall to this extent but we are still waiting for a better time the bull will continue creating multiple green candles.

Everyone is disappointed because they thought bitcoin will skyrocket forever during the reign of Trump as president. Everything started off well but right now things ain't going as expected. Apart from bitcoin, many are still disappointed over some policies which has stopped them from enjoying certain benefits. The truth is that for now Trump is only focused on the Americans, other countries can now start working hard to boost their economy and make things better for their citizens.

During Trump's campaign, I have always known that implementing his campaign promises will not be easy and it won't start off immediately.  I think it is still early to get disappointed, especially over the price of bitcoin. Let's still be hopeful, soon we will know Trump's real intentions for bitcoin and the entire crypto industry.

I think there would be no one who is enjoying the trump presidency. Infact, no one thought he will implement these decision that were bad for the market and initiate trade wars with literally everyone. China, Mexico and also against the European Union. Regarding crypto, we were expecting that he will bring Bitcoin strategic reserves but just before his presidency he played with our emotions by launching his own meme coin and rug pulling it on the innocent people who trusted him  :(

Trump could be one of the worst presidents in history, but those who previously voted for him and forgot what he did over the past five years are responsible for this. They made the same mistake again and are now facing the consequences.
On the Bitcoin side, there weren't many expectations. Trump's impact on Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market is limited. Bitcoin is a global asset, and its price is not affected by the change of a single country's president. Right now, the price is moving as it should. There is no need to panic.

I have not yet formed my own opinion about Donald Trump and his reforms. One thing is certain - Donald Trump is a very bright and controversial personality.

We can say for sure that a team of reformers has come to power in the United States. And this is not only US President Donald Trump, but also entrepreneur Elon Musk, Vice President Vance and many other equally bright personalities. It is already clear that these people will radically change our world. However, whether these changes will be positive, negative or even catastrophic is still unclear.

As for Bitcoin, I am not sure that Donald Trump realizes its full significance and potential. Among the sponsors of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, there were many Bitcoin holders and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Donald Trump probably considers these people his supporters and friends. Therefore, he proudly claims that the growth of Bitcoin to $ 100,000 is solely his merit.

Perhaps Donald Trump's enthusiasm will be contagious.  If other governments also start creating state reserves of bitcoin reserves, this will lead to a huge increase in the price of Bitcoin. But so far this is not happening.

I knew Trump to be a troublemaker but I never knew that he would get to this level. The tariffs against Europe, Canada and Mexico were unexpected. I thought the US had a close relationship with the European countries and would not hurt its economy. Trump's policies are hurting the global economy, and the crypto industry is not an exception. I am also hoping that he would reconsider his approach and shelve this tariff war.

Once skeptical of cryptocurrencies and calling them a scam, Trump has attracted tens of millions of dollars from crypto industry supporters to support his campaign. During the campaign, he has presented himself as a crypto president who could make the United States the crypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world.
Trump has called for the creation of a government-owned Bitcoin reserve similar to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and has vowed to fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, who has been known as anti-crypto.

If you follow what he did in his first term as president, you won't be too surprised. His tariff war is no secret and he has wanted to do it since his first term but failing to defeat Biden in the 2020 election disrupted his plans. That is why during the election, European leaders, Chinese leaders and many world leaders expressed concern if Trump was elected.

Trump is upsetting the world order and that is really worrying but we forget one thing: what he wants is to "make America great again", not "make the world great again".


Most people oppose him, including those who voted for him, and believe that his tariff war will not work and that he will lose. But honestly, this is beyond our understanding and knowledge, and it negatively affects our interests (bitcoin price drops) so we are not satisfied with what he is doing. But frankly, I think Trump has a great chance of winning the tariff war and he knows very well what he is doing.

Don't forget that Trump is a great businessman and for sure he realize that he could get huge money in return if he's going to support Bitcoin also crypto. Now we are seeing those things especially when they launch their own meme token together with their wife.

Just to bad that many people caught up with this and those meme coins owned by first family is the reason why many people lose their money. But even though those situation exist we don't know yet if there are still more good implementation will be done and we could see it on upcoming years on office. Also looking forward about their future plans since many speculate good thing to happen when they successfully launch their own Bitcoin reserve.

I am still in the minority who believe that no cat hunts to give charity (local Arab proverb), meaning that Trump has never supported crypto and joined its community out of conviction or a desire to move to modern technology. If he had, we would have noticed it in the last presidential cycle that he won, and I remember at the time that he was skeptical about Bitcoin and described it as a tool for fraud. Is Trump benefiting from crypto-friendly trends today? Certainly, because the crypto community increased his popularity and thus increased his chances of winning the presidential elections, and also mobilized the support of the crypto community for him to succeed in launching his currency in his name and a token for his wife as well.

It has been many ups and downs since his inauguration but there's nothing much he has done or not done which could directly effect the crypto market. The hacks might have been the larger culprit for the price crash. The politics and political decisions could be analyzed in multiple ways but there's still no dramatic political changes than a couple of months prior. There were hopes of peace as he was inaugurated but there's more feeding the fire than going for a peaceful world.
It would take at least a year for the real results of Trump starts to be visible and with Musk at his side, we could expect crypto favorable bills being passed.

I agree with you, and the only thing Trump is good at is escalating his fraud and he is the worst president who can't be trusted and everything he does is for his own benefit. And even though I don't like him that much, he has increased the price of Bitcoin, but that doesn't mean we should focus on that because anything can happen to Bitcoin.

And whatever the reason, Bitcoin adoption continues to grow driven by global demand, institutional adoption, and technological advancements and so on which I think Bitcoin can go up and down suddenly because of many factors that we never know before which sometimes are related to presidential elections, politics or big names which I think are just hype.

Trump's presidency do not have direct impact to me but the only way I would have felt the impact was if Bitcoin rose to $150k or above, since that did not happen yet, I really do not think there is anything I can say I'm enjoying about his presidency. I'm mot American and I do not plan to go there anytime soon, not even within the term of his presidency.

However, stopping the USAID, that was said to be responsible for funding terrorism have actually lead to some relief to my country because one of the terrorist organisations accused on that report is operating in one part of my country and wrecking havoc there. Since that pronouncement by president Trump, their operations have been distorted which means there is element of truth in that accusation.

That's why don't put too much hope in politicians about Bitcoin growth because what they promised during the campaign was just a pretext to get votes in the election. Trump has many interests and now he can't just focus on the Bitcoin sector, his task is much bigger to ensure that every finance that flows especially in the US can provide positive growth. Once again I emphasize that the interests of politicians are not good for Bitcoin.

Too soon to tell. 

We can only judge by the results and the results take time. Judging from his first presidency... 50/50. Just like with every president since George Washington there are good points and bad points.

But I already knew he was only going with the Bitcoin/crypto hype because he needed the votes. I already said this in the past.

I didn't vote for him and I already knew from the start that all those his exuberances are just mere politics. His position doesn't put food on my table in any manner but my parents does, so I don't think am enjoying him in any way. No matter the effect his new policies will have on Bitcoin, we know that Bitcoin price movement doesn't depend on them entirely.

He's spent just about a month and few days in office and he said his function is to maintain world peace, and over these period of time, Trump has held multiple press conferences in the Oval office talking at length on ways to resolve war especially that of Ukraine and Russian. The matters of crypto could be in his agenda, but, not now. The world is in a middle of a mess, and if not strengthened out sooner, there'll be a third world war, as the battle escalates in Ukraine, thousands of young soldiers die each day.

The last time I watched him answer a question regarding the tarrif, he said it's reciprocal, (maybe to some countries like India) whatever the other nations give to America that's what they'll get. For instance, if they place 10% tarrif on US, same amount will be issued back to the country.

Don't care what Trump does because his policies don't affect my life directly since I don't live in the country he leads or the country you mentioned. He says he loves the way bitcoin is going but his policies could drive bitcoin down in a relatively short period of time. While that's a good policy to use to buy a little bit more, it could affect the market conditions for bitcoin. Trump is more focused on the US economy and perhaps his policy of increasing tariffs on imports will fuel speculation about the way bitcoin is going.

TARIFFS will almost certainly affect almost every single country.

Its basically a worldwide tax concept. If he carries it out billions of people will pay more.

This is the pure fact that everyone needs to know. Trump supporting Bitcoin doesn't mean the growth of Bitcoin is now in hands because it never was.

Trump was after the support of the crypto community for the US presidential election; he successfully got that. Now he doesn't seem to care what will be afterward of Bitcoin, to increase or decline. That's no longer his business to bug himself with. At least he has successfully created his own coin, he should think about that.

The extra craze for Trump has helped him become a more practical hero. He is involved in the financial situation of many countries in the world. To be fair, he is the president of a powerful country and carries a lot of power. It cannot be denied that his presidency related with Bitcoin latest ATH. His policy of creating strategic Bitcoin reserves in many states in America is praised. His activities are good for the prosperity of the American economy.

Trump hasn't said anything specific yet about how he's going to end the war in Ukraine, except that both sides must make some compromises. However, he hasn't expressed his opinion on specific steps to achieve these compromises either.

Putin has already stated that he's not going to back down from his maximum demands on Ukraine, including giving him the territories of Ukraine that he hasn't even conquered yet, and Zelensky explains that he can't and has no right to trade the territories of Ukraine. That is, the negotiations between the parties haven't even started yet, but they've already reached a dead end.

Trump doesn't insist on compliance with international treaties, principles of international law, and the UN Charter, and therefore he's actually enshrining the right of the strong to seize the territories of a weaker state. His policy can only lead to chaos and constant wars, despite the fact that he says he wants to stop all the big wars. If he demands that the country that to be attacked cede territory to the aggressor, this is the path to even more wars, not peace.

I don't know if the crash is as a result of Trumps tariff wars, i have checked the internet and what i find is that investors seem uncertain with the whole economic scene right now, and they are selling off volatile/risky assets like bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Even if this tariff proposal might have had its effect, i don't believe it is the only reason for the crash, i think bybit hack also contributed and other events that have taken place in the last couple of weeks.

I don't live in the U.S., so i cannot answer your question of enjoying Trump or not, and for bitcoin, whatever he does that affects it can only be temporary, so nothing to lose sleep over.

Most people are saying trump is a narssissist, a lot of people in America are complaining right now..But I keep asking myself a simple question, if he's not fit to be president how did he get there? How did he win a free and fare election, majority voted for him so it means that the most population wanted him to be president...so far he has been doing a lot and america has been in order since became president... The people who are currently complaining are those that can't follow his rules.. personally I don't think there's anything wrong he's done, he's just after the betterment of the united states.

Alot of things have been said concerning trump second rule and it's huge effects on Bitcoin but I don't really know how to place my thoughts if ik enjoying this outcome or not but on a lighter note everything is open to a change so experiencing this ain't something new and moreso I think this effects on tariffs plan isn't good enough and it's affecting the people residing in the US and it's abored.nevertheless I can't really tell why this is affecting the rates of Bitcoin bringing it's price above normal.

We all know politicians are not trustworthy, they say and do things that benefit themselves, not keeping their promises. And this time Trump used crypto and Bitcoin for his own purposes as we all expected, trying to gain more votes in his election campaign which he obviously did. Now he's just messing around, by creating rules to take more control over the market compared to other countries, which was his original intention in first place. But overall, I still believe that Bitcoin with or without his support, will always remain as strong as ever.

You all thought Trump loved Bitcoin? His policies just don't make sense if he's trying to boost Bitcoin's price. At this point I think it’s clear enough that he is trying to manipulate the market for political gain and this is not going to change the fundamentals of Bitcoin. The strength of Bitcoin comes from its decentralized nature and the global community that supports it. So, while these moves might cause some short term changes in price, in the long run Bitcoin builds value and strength.

What I read on news was that the price of goods have started to increase in United States but I do not know how true it is.

What else can be used to define Trump? He is not distancing himself from Europe Union. He has been seen with many lies since he became the United States president again. He did not even know when he called Ukraine president a dictator. He said he wants peace when there is possibility of Russia finding ways to take over Europe. Try and check what is going on to understand who Trump is. He said he will end the war in Ukraine but he is only doing something worse that may later not make Europe a US ally and the war has not ended. I do not want to post about this but your post made me.

Not entirely but it seems that the whole world is looking at the meeting and not with bitcoin reserve that he just said.

I do not know how it will go for it but with Trump's vision, let us see where this is going to bring us.

US looking to end wars left and right and didn't do well with Ukraine's president meeting.

Donald Trump is now completely contradicting the promises he made to the people during the election. His random words and some other reasons have played a significant role in dumping the price of Bitcoin, such as the Canada and Mexico tariffs, the Bybit exchange hack, these reasons have scared the weak wallets.
Due to which the price of Bitcoin was dumped at the present time, but it is moving upwards again, but I believe that the price of Bitcoin will touch $100k again.

It is difficult for the average person to understand world politics what Trump wants at the moment, but over time, his vision will begin to become clear. Whether he really wants to stop the war in the future or influence the war in a different way will depend entirely on Trump. However, the way we saw him to speak before the election, his style of speech will definitely change a bit now. Although there has been a lot of talk about Bitcoin Reserve for some time, its implementation has not been seen recently. I think that no positive or negative idea about Trump at this moment would be correct.

When Bybit exchange was hacked, the price of bitcoin only fell a little which was not even because of the hack. If the hack has effect, the price of the coins supposed to have falling significantly just immediately after the hack but there was nothing like that. One of the main reasons for the fall is Trump's import tariff that he increased for China. And for Canada and Mexico that he said will start on March 4. And  for the European countries that he has also talked about.

History would tell if it happen but I guess people just don't have a good choice on past election as his opponent is provably an anti crypto and might they continue on what the past administration do.

Also even though Trump says that he's going to support Bitcoin still I don't expect any thing huge to happen and people should not rely on those implementation or announcements so that they won't get bothered if there's something negative situation happen in their side. If they let these officials dictate each decisions they made then provably that they would get an idea on how to manipulate the minds of people. So better for everyone not to get panic and do their usual activity on their Bitcoin investments.

Still didn't forget how he call Bitcoin as scam or fraud before.

No.

The fact that $TRUMP exists is enough proof of that.

Ofcourse, reaching to a compromise between two leaders who doesn't love themselves would be difficult. They've both lost so much in the war and wouldn't accept a deal that won't favor them after the war. Although, Putin has to pay for all damages caused during the war as the invader. So, the process is expected to be delayed, but meetings and talks are being held on the propose of ending the war.

Ukraine was always going to be difficult to negotiate with. At some point they have to realize that they have very little chance of gaining their lost territory back with the forces they have.

But as for some of the other things Trump promised to do, he is making very little progress after signing that flurry of Executive Orders. That's how draining working in the government is.

Trump has expressed his commitment to ensuring that the US government adopts Bitcoin and other digital assets promising to support Bitcoin and the crypto community.But His supports to Bitcoin's adoption so far doesn't seem to align with the existing expectations of the  Bitcoin users.
 Trump has made so many promises to encouraging Bitcoin's adoption but for some reasons I'm yet to believe that all of these were some political propaganda and a strategic move to attract supports from crypto enthusiasts.

I can't say that Trump loves bitcoin and I can't say that he doesn't like Bitcoin, instead what I see in him is that his mind has become more open to the positive things
that Bitcoin can help their country.

Because of course this time he is balancing the views of the citizens under his jurisdiction about the adoption of the bitcoin community in this field industry
compared to the time he was president before.

His term is four years and he has only been president for two months. As the president of a superpower, he has a lot of work to do and needs to prioritize national issues instead of spending time pleasing crypto investors  , which is just a small market. Everything needs to be in order and the big, important issues need to be addressed first. So, as long as his term is not over, it is still too early to say that he is not keeping his promises or is not really supporting the crypto industry as he claims.

The White House recently announced that it will host a cryptocurrency summit chaired by Trump and that the conference will focus on innovation, clear regulatory frameworks and mark a shift in the government’s approach to the cryptocurrency industry . He is trying to deliver on his promises but it seems like people are only concerned about the price of bitcoin and ignoring everything including the long term growth of the industry .

Not about the price of Bitcoin but more on his new foreign policy after he bullied the Ukrainian president, who is a longtime ally of the Americans; its like he started to betray his allies.
I live in a country where China is bullying us, and if the unthinkable happens, like an attack on us, I don't know if the Trump administration will fulfill the treaty between our country and the US by turning his back on the Ukrainian. can happen to us, and this is a big concern.
I like him when he helps push the market upward, but his new policy is dangerous to many small nations.

From the beginning, we know that the words of politicians sometimes cannot be held and projected as one of the things that need to be trusted directly so that when Trump speaks, it is clear that there is nothing that I think needs to be taken seriously with his words because after all he will also only do according to what he thinks will be an advantage for his personal matters.

He started by giving statements as if he was a bitcoin supporter in order to get support for his candidacy and when he got what he wanted at this time he only needed to look for other potentials in order to get other benefits. We don't need to feel deceived because most political statements are like this because from the beginning we realize that most politicians' promises cannot be trusted.

So far, crypto people who admired him and loved him, saw their bitcoin price crashed down hard after he took office, so of course they are not happy. I am one of those people, everyone assumed him winning the election was the reason the price went up, and even if that was the case, that was due to hope that crypto people had about him, they didn't believe Kamala would do as good, but so far, he has hurt crypto more than he has helped it.

If we could end up with something that will take care of the situation and we need to be handling this as good as it gets, we can't really make this something simple because if he lied to everyone, then it would show what kind of person he is, but most importantly, it would show what kind of fools those who believed him were.

He is a politician and they are known for lots of promises especially when they know that they will get advantage from what they are proposing but for the case of Donald Trump's I think he has been of positive note in terms of influence on the price although his actual policy which everyone was expecting and hoping that would have been different and being friendly with Bitcoin isn't exactly what he started off but with the little influence positively with the price will still lots of person optimistic of how he is gonna further go about his promises.

If we're just talking about crypto, I'd say he's done much better than the Biden administration. He pardoned Ross Ulbricht, repealed the SAB121 executive order imposed by the previous administration, and he planned and prepared to announce the creation of a cryptocurrency reserve fund for the United States...He is trying to fulfill his promise to the crypto community and with all that he is doing, i don't see anything disappointing. I can assure you that we would not have seen all of this if Kamala had been elected.

But if we look at the big picture like world politics and economy then people are not wrong to blame him because he is causing instability and this is unintentionally having a negative impact on the market. But this is only a short-term impact because the trade war will have to end at some point. He is just using tariffs as a weapon to balance the US trade deficit and when that problem is solved, everything will be ok.

Needed to visit the thread after a few days to tell everyone that Trump has started to work to make crypto a part of the world economy. The US for the first time has accepted crypto as their strategic reserve. This means, they'd store on Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies alongside other money and gold. Crypto has been accepted as a hedge and anti-inflation measure by the largest economy in the world. This would boost the crypto adoption in short and long term. Trump has indeed done what he has said to do.

If I were you, I wouldn't trust Trump that much, nor Elon for that matter. We remember very well what they've done in the past. One day, they speak positively and the next day, they do the exact opposite.
If they did this with publicly traded stocks, they would face serious penalties for insider trading. However, when they do it with cryptocurrencies, there are no legal consequences. This allows them to manipulate the market however they want.

I am very much enjoying Trump and I don't even think the effects of what he is doing are being felt yet.  I think most of his moves will take at least until the end of the year to pay off for the economy.  The biggest near term impact he can have is by pushing a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, which I think he is going to do.  I also think that DOGE checks will go a long way towards lighting a fire under the economy.  If he can pump crypto and give people money, next year could get interesting for people who like to invest or have a lot of assets...

As a crypto user and Bitcoin enthusiast, I enjoy watching Trump take an interest in this sector and defy all expectations from countries friendly to US policies. At the same time, I do not want my enthusiasm to take me beyond enjoying the Trump phenomenon since I have not yet seen the impact of these policies, and most of what we see so far are promises that we previously analyzed as promises within Trump’s election campaign. Today, the type of these promises has changed to become announcements of bold decisions, the most important of which is the establishment of a US crypto reserve. I also think the possibility of the Trump phenomenon being a bubble that will end when his term ends in five years since yesterday’s friends (Europe Canada) are still hesitant about dealing friendly with the crypto sector.

There are still treaties in place. And even if he says, prematurely, to do whatever, the treaty demands, plus his advisors will tell him, what he can do. 

I simply believe Trump is playing his cards just fine, balancing the whole ball game in both for his country, the bitcoin community at large and crypto industry. Maybe we had laid so much expectations on him giving all attention to bitcoin before all else particularly as it gets to do with the bitcoin strategic plan, but it seems like dude has other plans and we're just getting to know this with the recent development on inclusion of altcoins such as ADA, XRP in the strategic  reserve plan. At least now the bitcoin community knows better how much to wedge their hopes on Trump on his support for bitcoin now than before.

This means you believe that the 5 year cycle for bulls and bears has ended already. That next year will not be for the bears? I will advice people to be very careful of next year. The whales sentiment could be towards bear market and their could be a downtrend at the time. Let us wait and see what will happen.

I was but now I’m not. As a non US citizen, it seems he’s destroying stocks, cryptocurrency & in general just pissing people off. I am not seeing any benefits to him being President right now. He better have a plan because people are going to start getting really annoyed with his actions.

Before his election, Bitcoin price was trading below $70k but it reached $109k after his election. Although, he was not the only catalyst but he contributed to the bitcoin price reaching $109k. So it can be said that he created an opportunity for people to sell and make profit but most of us are too greedy and want more. People forget that everything has its limits and opportunities do not wait for anyone, so if we decide not to sell and did not make a profit, it is our fault, do not blame him or anyone else.

Furthermore, we always advise each other to "buy the dip" and take advantage of every drop in price, but why do we feel disappointed when the bitcoin price drops sharply and this is a good time to accumulate more?

Yes, it is absolutely true that some random words from Trump and some other factors are playing a significant role in the decline in Bitcoin price. When the Bybit exchange was hacked, the price of Bitcoin did not drop much, but I saw that the Bitcoin market had dropped slightly. It is believed that Bitcoin prices have dropped due to the tariff on Canada and Mexico. In fact when the price of Bitcoin drops, ordinary investors like us may suffer the most. Because it is completely unbelievable that the market crashed in just 24 hours and Bitcoin is now at $82,000. Looking at Bitcoin's current market movement, it seems that it maybe fall below $80K.

The current fall is related to the heated trade wars between nations with them increasing tax to each others product. This is going to be a temporary thing. But we need to look where the world is moving. If the suffer from it a lot and goes to full fledged war, than the prices could suffer more. The countries involved in the trade war are large economies and to some extent self sufficient so in long term it would increase the economic activities around the world. Another thing to look at is Ukraine war. The European leaders has pleaded to keep the war running but it was a rushed decision and many European nations are already rethinking about it, we could see the war end sooner.
Anyway, this is a good time to accumulate crypto in your portfolio.

Although your argument shows that there is a relationship between Trump's tariff policies and changes in the price of Bitcoin, I don't agree completely. I think you should first consider whether or not his policies are directly to blame for the cryptocurrency's collapse. First off, unlike traditional assets like stocks or commodities, Bitcoin is not directly correlated with trade policies, even though tariffs can affect traditional markets by raising costs for consumers and businesses. Numerous elements, such as institutional acceptance, investor mood, legislative changes, and macroeconomic conditions, affect the price of Bitcoin.

Second, Bitcoin is frequently regarded as a risk-on asset, which means that it typically rises when investors are feeling upbeat and falls when they are feeling less certain. Bitcoin may fall if investors turn to safer assets as a result of Trump's tariff measures, which might cause financial markets to become uncertain. But rather than being a direct result of tariffs, this is a reaction of the market as a whole. Lastly, supply and demand, which includes elements like the impending halving event, institutional investments, and more extensive crypto laws, greatly influence the price of Bitcoin. It ignores other potential causes for Bitcoin's movement to attribute the decline exclusively to Trump's tariff announcement.

you should also remember that market responses to political statements may not last long. Short-term uncertainty rather than a fundamental change in Bitcoin's value proposition could be the cause of its decline following Trump's tariff announcement. A long-term perspective would take into account how these policies impact regulatory clarity, mining profitability, or Bitcoin adoption.

I think that am really enjoying the second tenure of trump as the president of the united states of America because to me he is really delivering on his campaign promises that made people to vote him into power especially his reforms in critical issue like stopping funding to the USAID that has been under performing and not being achieving anything tangible so far and trump coming out boldly to stop funding such an organization is a welcome development.

Crypto currency reforms too was another key promise that he made and to the best of my ability he has done well because just on Sunday he signed in and strategic crypto currency reserve bills making crypto currencies like Bitcoin a federal reserves so Trump is delivering on his promises as a leader

Usually I do not meddle with American politics because why would I care when it is not my thing. I would like to remind people that Biden period was when ETF's were accepted finally, we had all the applications during first Trump time, when he wasn't pro-crypto and it got rejected, but when it was Biden time, it got accepted. I am not putting the blame on Trump nor praising Trump nor doing anything for Biden, these are all other stuff done by other people, I just wanted to remind that we got ETF at that period.

Overall, if Trump does anything good, and not just "plans" to do anything good but actually does, then I would be happy. Letting some criminal free isn't what benefits me, Ross could have been in the jail all I care, that is not a benefit to crypto, as proven by the price.

I am not denying that ETFs were approved under Biden but did you know the first bitcoin ETF application was by the Winklevoss brothers in 2013 and was rejected by the SEC on the grounds that they were too susceptible to manipulation. And it has been repeatedly rejected for the same reason over the years, not just during Trump's first term. Gary rejected the Bitcoin ETF multiple times and things only really changed when Grayscale got aggressive and the federal court intervened. Furthermore, I believe that if Biden does not approve a bitcoin ETF, it will happen in Trump's second term as well.

Under Trump, we have Bitcoin reserves, the US government does not sell Bitcoin, the legal framework is also gradually becoming clearer...we should not deny that the Trump administration is more friendly and open to cryptocurrencies than previous administrations.

The first mistake Trump and his campaign team did was launching a meme Trump coin. You see, in Bitcoin community many don't like altcoins and if you want to see you been hated, try and present them with meme coin but they did that actually and that's where the doubt start coming and now, anything he says about reserve is just talk and talk. Some days ago, he says he plans on adding some other coins, everything now looking stage from behind.

Maybe things will change later but Bitcoin is just Bitcoin and people are bullish because they think we are Bitcoin bull run, this reserve is becoming absolute and thing of the past. Perhaps there might be some modifications later but the way Trump is bringing new tarrifs and fighting other countries, it will affect Bitcoin for now, the heart of US is his priority and I don't think Bitcoin is his concern wholeheartedly.

That is an "American" thing, like for example it was Biden's period when we went up during the election results, but people said it was Trump that made it go up. But then it went down during Trumps period, so they said it was tariffs of other nations that are enemies that made it down.

So if they want to defend, they will figure out a way to defend, if they want to praise, they will figure out a way to praise, they are never done and they are never wrong and the yare always right. It's fine though, as long as it helps us, now Trump will have a chat in the white house with all the big crypto heads, so if that benefits us then we are going to end up with a good return on price to all time high levels and that is what we need right now.

It's not a joke from Trump about the reserve and the decision was actually issued without consulting Congress and therefore it is not yet a law. The announced reserve will be in seized Bitcoin with no indication of whether more will be purchased. The authorities have seized various assets and I do not know if they will all be sold for Bitcoin or will be kept as just seized assets. Also the crypto summit which we are still waiting for what will be announced by the White House at the end of the talks later this evening.

I do not support Trump launching a token because as president, this would have many consequences. But we need to know that his administration has expressed interest in the crypto industry and crypto include bitcoin and altcoins, not just bitcoin.
Most of us here are bitcoin maximalists and love it but we are in the minority compared to the crypto community. If you join other social networks, you will see many people only like altcoins, they are not interested in bitcoin as we think.
Trump is hated by the community because of what he does that negatively impacts the market, not because he issues tokens or shows interest in altcoins.


He became president to make America great again, to ensure the dominance of the USD on the world stage, I have never heard him say that Bitcoin is his top concern. Even if he did make that statement, it would be naive to think that a president of a superpower would spend much time and put bitcoin above the nation's mission.

Whatever his foreign policy, he has kept his promise to make Bitcoin a reserve currency. I believe he will plan better for Bitcoin in the future. Moreover, since they have approved Bitcoin Reserve currency, it means they also plan to keep Bitcoin for a long time. And such a move can definitely help increase the price of Bitcoin greatly. During his term, the price of Bitcoin can also increase by several times. Moreover, he has just taken charge and he has to spend a lot of time on various policy reforms. Of course, we will be able to see his better plans for Bitcoin and at the same time they will be implemented.

I live in Scandinavia and have traveled all over Europe, but I’ve never been to the US, so I can’t judge things there too objectively. That said, I find it pretty amusing how everything revolves around Trump, especially how his critics often tie everything to Russia. It’s like a never-ending drama show!

This guy always seemed mentally unstable. But he is too expert in politics. You will have to be ready to expect the unexpected things from him. He seems too aggressive in everything. Did you guys follow how he has been behaving with other political leaders? Have you guys heard about what happened in the Oval Office in Zelensky and Trump's meeting?

America is trying to rule the entire world (probably ruling already). Nobody can speak against them. Zelensky was advised to praise Trump in the meeting, which he did not, resulting in chaos.

As for Bitcoin, I don't know. He may come with a statement that Bitcoin is a scam. We should ban it and make Trump coin a legal tender. LOL.

Trump is also unbalanced in politics. Proof of this is his tariff policy, as a result of which he began to cancel the high customs duties he himself introduced in relation to other countries, including Canada, since they began to hit the United States hard.

The conflict in the Oval Office with Zelensky was planned by Trump to humiliate Zelensky and force him to sign a humiliating capitulation of Ukraine in the war with Russia. Trump failed to do this either. This also proves that Ukraine was not under the manual control of the United States, as some claimed on this forum.

But the situation with the war in Ukraine and Trump's attitude towards it will continue to change rapidly after Russia refuses to fulfill Trump's conditions for a peaceful resolution of the war it unleashed. Before that, there was gross pressure on Ukraine, and there will be similar pressure on Russia.

Of course, if Trump is not an agent of the Russian FSB under the pseudonym "Krasnov", as former employees of the USSR KGB say.

Yeah. I am not from the US, so I was never too interested to know what happens there and which politicians are better than others. But as far as I know, Trump is a kind of mad man. He can change his attitude overnight for his own benefit. Trump often says "I don't think I said that" and acts like he does not remember. But the reality is, he is a politician and he knows how to manipulate people.

I never liked Trump, but due to his crypto friendly behaviour, I was manipulated. But my point of view regarding Trump has changed now. This guy can ban Bitcoin anytime. I believe this will affect him as well. But who cares? I don't think he will be elected again in the future.

With the US actions the last month it becomes clear that the US wishes to be alone.
A drastic change from we gonna protect you so you don't need to go nuclear. To you need to pay for protection.

Trump has never been a big bitcoin enthusiast. He saw this as part of his election strategy because he couldn't be sure whether every single vote counts. I personally think that people voting for Trump only because of some bitcoin statements he made is stupid. It is dumb. A vote carries some weight and if that weight consists only of a person's interest in bitcoin, that is quite sad then. But everyone can do as they please, however what caught be me by surprise was the expectations people had in regards to Trump being pro bitcoin. You could notice that he has no idea about the technology, the few sentences he spoke here and there were studied sentences from his advisors. He never gave a more in depth talk as to why he thinks this technology could be important. To sum it up there was no serious sign that Trump truly stands behind supporting bitcoin to thrive. He only sees markets and values and since bitcoin gained value and his family is into cryptocurrencies, he will of course do a couple of things that could benefit it. Just see how this freak launched meme coins...

So we had Bitcoin ETF applied during second Obama period, which got rejected, we had Bitcoin ETF applied during first Trump period and got rejected, but we had Bitcoin ETF applied and got approved during Biden period? That would put Biden as the most pro-crypto president that we had so far. I still believe Biden doesn't even know what a bitcoin is, but at least he hired the right people to make this happen and become a reality.

We do not have real Bitcoin reserves under Trump "yet", sure it could happen because he really wants it to happen, he said so many times, but we do not have it yet. Basically, what the plan is, whenever government seizes bitcoin from anywhere, they just keep it at a reserve, instead of sell them. Makes total sense to me, still not enough to drive the bitcoin market higher high.

There is something people don't usually understand about the market, the market doesn't always remain static or keep going higher as they think most times we could undergo bear and this doesn't mean that we won't witnessed bull any longer because there could be some news that may affect the overall market performance. Of course all these news are things that is really influencing market and it wouldn't be that stable till FUD is over.

he's bullish and all about crypto which is pretty great.

but from his recent policy, not really great, his current moves on tariff seem to further distance its relationship with their allies.
can you imagine giving tariff to canada and australia out of whim, that's what I always pictured on trump recent policies.
just doesn't make sense to me at all. moreover it keeps making economic turmoil.

They are just hype with the milestone achieve by Bitcoin and they think the pump would just continue especially that Trump has plan to create a Strategic reserve with Bitcoin.

But they get disappointed with the result especially when its officially announce and nothing happens. The market decline and the pump which they have expected didn't came. This situation that we should never expect automatically that there's a price growth on some good news happened and sometimes its really bad to listen with FUDS and hypes. So instead of getting bothered with those things it maybe more better for people to continue to buy Bitcoin and just ignore anything that can distract their focus.

Trump is a good man but recently I don't like the way he had been moving and behaving about his tariff plans and other things.
He is taking things too far and it does not make sense. It seems like like drama and he is ready for it this time. He has been pressuring all his allies and trying to make life difficult for all his neighbors that are supposed to be friendly but this time around his is not ready to make peace his them. He gave Canada and Mexico 25% tariff which does not make any sense, it seems like he's back to continue what he started in his previous tenure but I think this time is much harder and it too extreme. I hope he would reconsider his plans about many of his decisions.

one thing you should know is that Trump is a capitalist and he's concerned about the economy of US and nothing more, he only wants to gain in every gesture that's the nature of a capitalist. So I'm not surprised atal on his actions on trades and others, is just his nature.  Expect more tariff from him, but he's a good manager he will use the money judicious for the best interest of the Americans that's should be our major concern, he is not a leader who accumulate wealth for himself, he was very rich before politics.

I like Trump because he is a leader with political will, he made a decision and act on it, without fear or favour.  Trump is taking these decisions knowingly fully well that he won't contest again so he will make America great by all means.

Well, Trump promised the economic pain will be short-lived. At least for Americans. We're yet to see if Trump's trade war will affect the USD's strength in the long run. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are tied to traditional financial markets, so their prices can be affected due to worldwide economic uncertainty.

For something that was designed to be a safe haven against the corrupt Fiat money system, I'd say BTC has already failed. The idea was to create a system independent from the powers that be (centralizing forces). Yet, crypto moves according to what happens in the real world. Particularly, politics and the current economic situation. It's no different than the traditional stock market now. So yes, we should expect crypto market prices to keep going down until the trade war is settled. How long will this take is a mystery. One can only hope things will get better in the future. Just my two sats. :(

Trump, Tariffs, and Bitcoin: A Misalignment of Interests?

Many believed that Trump was pro-Bitcoin, but recent events suggest otherwise. His tariff plans on imports from Canada and Mexico have had direct negative effects on the market, including Bitcoin. The initial announcement led to a drop, and although he paused the plan temporarily, his latest statement confirming its implementation next week has once again triggered a decline—pushing Bitcoin below $90,000. 

The correlation between macroeconomic policies and Bitcoin’s price action is becoming increasingly clear. Protectionist trade measures create uncertainty in traditional markets, affecting liquidity and risk appetite, which in turn impacts Bitcoin. Investors tend to seek stability in such conditions, leading to a short-term selloff in speculative assets like BTC. 

While Trump may have expressed support for Bitcoin in the past, his economic policies seem to contradict that stance. If tariffs continue to disrupt global trade and investor confidence, we could see further volatility in the crypto market. 

What’s your take? Are these tariffs a real threat to Bitcoin’s growth, or just short-term noise in a long-term bullish trend?

If you read your mind very well, you will get the answers that you want and it's going to be truth that Trump isn't a good man. He has always been a rude man and ruthless person but all because he change his view on Bitcoin and support crypto, he became good guy in everyone faces but I like how he is putting everybody back to their places and showing them who he his and has always been, he doesn't care about your opinion as individual but he want you to accept his own.

All of a sudden, everyone now loves and prefer Kamala that was abused and insulted and says she was in power and couldn't change anything, even if she evebty get there nothing will change but I'm sure they wouldn't be this ruthless with the tariff hike Trump is don't right now. The peace between Russia and Ukraine he promised to stop in his first 90 days in office ended in dreadlock, not only that he has resume to threatening Ukraine with some previleges, anyone than supported him deserves what they are getting now.

Based on your thread title I will categorically State it that hell NO I am not enjoying Trump.
First I am not a US citizen nor residence. I don't also know how the US system is contributing to my countries economy growth but if there be, then it is still a null that I am not enjoying him because the economy system in my country goes worse on daily basis and petty traders hare fast approaching non functioning anymore because their little income that were to increase their businesses can not afford pretty little goods anymore as commodities has gone very high in price.
I have only thought about benefiting from him directly if he had made his economy policies easy for everyone if not better than as it was , it would had been left as it was which we all know it has brought setback for the increase of bitcoin values also if he had executed all that promises about bitcoin during his campaign in cordial to promote the evaluation of bitcoin potentialities.
Then I would had been enjoying him because I am a bitcoin holders for assets of investing my income.

Being focused on the market is something that is really that hard to maintain because as long as we keep listening to other news or news keep flying around us, there are tendency to be distracted entirely. FUD is something that can never leave the market because most of traders especially newbies aren't that bold enough on the market because they know how the market operates generally. But currently i had the news have been confirmed and they bitcoin is being used as the Strategic reserved funds in US (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqx0g1py5v0o), if i am not mistaken it being days or weeks.

Trump likes crypto a lot since Trump is backed by mostly crypto billionaires and crypto companies in his last presidential campaign.
His right hand Elon also has no hate in crypto in fact Tesla still holding some crypto in their balance sheet.

After trump got elected he also announce Bitcoin Startegic reserve, fire gary gensler and new SEC is drop the lawsuit against crypto company.

But yes he like economic war he just want make America great again and because of it tariff and the other makes crypto have mixed signal between bullish and bearsih at the same time, while Gold achieving new all time high

I think investors are still doubtful if Trump's policies are going to be a threat for Bitcoin. This is a speculative market, and sometimes it's not possible to predict the next fluctuations. They just happen suddenly, and sometimes without any reasonable explanations.

Remember Covid pandemic? Against expectations, Bitcoin had a good time during that pandemic, reaching its previous ATH in 2021.

So I prefer to stick myself to solid key events proved to have an impact over Bitcoin, like its halving. Worldly events remain in second plan, and can be used to boost or harm Bitcoin, depending the "mood" and "appetite" of whales, institutional investors and so on in the current moment.

About Bitcoin living a long term bullish trend, we have to be conscious this market works in cycles, transitioning between highs and lows, so keep in mind the bull trend won't last forever. And once a correction happens, it might not be exactly due to Trump's policies, but just a natural and healthy market's oscillation.

Well he does not love Bitcoin but the idea that he will make money from it and it was to his benefit, like we can say most of the benefit was to him, he gets more vote, he get more funds to run his campaigns, he gets to make most of the money. He knows his statements will dump or pump the market so basically we have handed over the reins of the market to him, which we already saw coming through but we still gave it because we want the market to pump.

Before he won the elections, we all wanted to give him the reins of the market so the market could pump and all of us could get more profit, but to be honest, people like me who were lazy and did not book at the right moment are the ones who regret it, but still we are hoping these tariff war is temporary like any other war and good times will shine again, and we even in a huge loss will recover and get some profit too.

Although sometimes, because of all his juicy statements, I feel like he might really love bitcoin and that's why he's taking these initiatives. But as the days go by, it's becoming clearer to us why he's actually supporting bitcoin.

Now everything is coming to us that he is basically acting like he loves bitcoin only for his own benefit, with support from crypto enthusiasts, whether financially or by voting, for these things, as well as the current liquidation of a huge amount of funds from crypto via trump and melenia coins. I think these issues will become clearer to us in the future.

I’m not in the US to fully be under his government and the policies his created but, I sure like a president who has his views and sticks to it you know. That’s what Trump has been about, an idea based government with some aids to help bring his views into life.

Surely some of his policies have affected the world, like him having to cut aids from the developing and under developed nations in the UN. That’s something that is in a way shaping this part of the world but, I’m sure lifelong it.

His stands on cryptocurrency, I like it even more as, it’s bringing the adoption the more closer.

Globally, he has affected me because of his revised policies and the way they make some rules in some countries but within the country, it can only be two side of it. Whenever there is a policy change, there will be some people that will suffer from it and there is going to be people that will enjoy from those rules changes, he was been charged and have almost a millions likes On X about those more policies, those could be bots actions but human contributed and I'm sure it's people that likes the policies.

Back to crypto, I don't like his exposure on crypto, his support has given us a green light from the beginning but it's not looking like it's something he promised in the first place. Bitcoin is just staying in one place and looking like we might go down further is we don't move from here back to $90k, the Macd is double crossing and that means on the monthly chart, we will experience more sell pressure and that means only one thing, we will see more lows of Bitcoin price.

trump will crush the worlds economy with the tariffs

but that may help btc

so buy this dip and hodl.

i added a lot of btc the last week or so.

And I have written many times that Trump is not the leader this country needs. Everything he does is simply disgusting. In the short time he has been in power, things have only gotten worse in the US. The stock and crypto markets are falling into the abyss. This has become some kind of norm. It is a pity that Americans cannot wake up and overthrow this eccentric. I hope that in the near future there will be a sufficiently large number of people who will openly declare their desire to remove this old man from the post of president.

We are likely to be in same page on the view of Trump and the world economy as speculated that he is a ln economists who is best candidate to restore the weak economy.
Once upon a time I like him in person with his declared interests as bitcoin enthusiast with all being promised about cryptocurrencies of he would be given opportunity to be US president.
Now he is been the president but nothing good has happened on his contributions to the crypto space and his tariff policies has turned against the price of bitcoin today and the World economy value is befalling.
I am of no option that seeing this man to be politically manipulating the market.




Trump is one must World influential Politician which he can not just be stepped on as you think. Perhaps he was elected and not appointed as the president of US so it you want him not be the US president that will be in the future and you just have to stay alive until his tenor elapsed. Only then you would see this request of him leaving the presidential office.

To me trump is the best leader for the United States of America in this present point in time because the fact is that the world needs a leader like trump that is outspoken and is not timid because looking at the world today it's obvious that if a leader that is dull enters the white house it can have some consequences because the world is becoming more and more unsafe for people to live .


Trump has taken some nice decision that is already a call for concern and that is what defines you as a leader your ability to take decision without the fear of criticism from anyone knowing that what you are doing is the right thing that is best for the country and the people who elected you into office

I understand your direction as per saying, you see Trump as a stubborn person who does not take decisions from people and just takes actions at his pleases right?
That does not make him a good leader rather chaotic exhibition which does not possess the quality to help the world with their needs.
Do you know that if you don't associate and you don't consult from people to know what the masses are in need about you as a leader in place of Trump will likely to lavish public resources to where it is not necessarily needed by the people of your subject?
However, I am not going to just suddenly say he is a bad leader as he just assumed office not quite 2 months now. So to give him benefits of doubts he should be giving some time to restructure the economy system to his better governing understanding for easy trespasses.

We should understand that Trump was never a bitcoin friendly person right from onset, he is just trying to make some adjustments since bitcoiners played an important role in voting for him in the 2024 November elections. Actually, when i sense danger was when the price of bitcoin skyrocketed an got a new ATH after Trump was declared as President-elect. I started having the feelings that if the price of bitcoin can experience such increase within a short interval of time just because of a political news, it then means that when there is a negative news it will also affect the price. However, no matter how Trump or any organization tries to manipulate the market, it won't last for a long time. Trump just assumed office not up to 3 months, the government is still young so we shouldn't expect policies that will favor bitcoin or the crypto market immediately.

As for the tariffs controversies, it won't last forever and i believe everything will return back to normal when this tariffs FUD is over and we will enjoy the market again. No need to panic for now, we just need to be very observant before we make any move.

"That may help BTC"? I don't think so. Right now, tariffs are having a negative impact over the crypto market. Bitcoin is way below its ATH of $100k+. It's having a hard time getting past $83k - $85k. The stock market is also being affected by the tariffs. There are fears of a US economic recession (some call it "Trumpcession"). Didn't Trump promise to restore the economy during his 2024 Presidential campaign?

I hope the negative effects of Trump's tariffs are short-lived. Otherwise, we should expect more pain ahead for BTC and the rest of the other coins. At least, President Trump went forward with his idea of a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve". Will he be able to make America "the crypto capital of the world"? Only time will tell.

of course i see such thinking, although trump asserted committed to supporting bitcoin in his government, and now it has been running but i believe behind it trump and his government want to take advantage of it, because it gave big support to trump in the presidential election, and indeed the controversy on tariffs part of trump's economic plan and maybe it will subside considering many parties oppose it.

So far, I don't think I could honestly say I am enjoying the administration of Trump, specially from the perspective of a Venezuelan living in Venezuela... It is not only about the price of Bitcoin and it's behavior to whatever Trump and his handlers decide to try to pull off in this new tariff war with basically everyone. Politically, I expected the Trump administration to be tougher on our local undemocratic regime which keeps us oppresed and force us to move to other countries, much to my dismay it would seem Trump is willing to collaborate with a dictator like Maduro and not actively seek for a good plan to bring democracy back to this country.

Only time will tell whether something happens in that regarda and we see changes going on.

In fact, Trump is a fan of speculation. We all naively expected him to constantly point out the US leading to knowledge of the crypto capital of the world. But in fact, the real Bitcoin reserve was formed in North Korea)) Joke. So far, we have benefited from Trump in the growth of expectations, but then there were only one fall and fall.
And now, let the cryptocurrency have not fallen in price much, but still many traders are at a loss. It is clear that these guys bought crypto at the peaks in vain, but these were often conversations about Bitcoin about 150k, and they believed it.

Trump said at first it would be difficult but then everything would improve, so far his forecast is coming true it has become worse, and what will happen next is still unclear. For Bitcoin, he has not done much either, signing the decree on the Bitcoin reserve did not change anything, they only transferred the bitcoins that they had to the reserve status, there was no purchase of additional bitcoins in this reserve and so far there is no purchase plan, if it appears then everything can change for the better.

We have seen positive movement of the price of BTC, when he made some announcement about BTC reserve,I believe this tariff that is starting from next week will not make people to regret for the government policy. It may look as if the economy will get worse once all those policy take place, than to discover later is for the good of the investors and citizens.

If trump make the economy difficult for people to grow their businesses, I don't think people will be happy with him because he know how people supported him to make sure he won the election to help the country to eliminate all the bad policy that is affecting the country.

There is nothing wrong with thinking bitcoin will be 150k one day, that is a true sentiment and will become a relaity. The problem is, they expected it too soon, because it is not happening right now. Will it happen in the future? Surely it will, we will see 150k eventually, could be in 3 months, could be in 6 months, could be in 5 years, we have absolutely no clue when it will happen but most assume it will be within one year.

So there was a smart reason to buy bitcoin and expect it to grow, nobody expected this drop and that is why we are here where we are at the moment. We need to just consider how it could move forward with the fact that everything will be confused on the long term if we just give up and sell and have no hopes for higher price in the future.

I also thought as much because I can see that since the time that Trump win the election and talk about the Bitcoins by then Bitcoin come begin they pump l, but after a while the Bitcoins market starting misbehaving by dumping down current now the Bitcoin is below $9k and as of last three weeks is even below $80k is as of recently is try to recover back.

This prove to us that the Trump didn’t love the Bitcoins i seem it as a plan works so that he can win the election that’s he was deceive people’s that it will make the Bitcoins market to be more better then before, and at the end of day the market has been so poorly.

Were you expecting trump to single-handedly take bitcoin price to $1 billion within a few months. Bitcoin is a volatile asset and there is no how it will continue to be pumping without seeing the negative part of it. Since Trump emerged as the president of United States of America bitcoin has rallied so high and it is natural that it should cool off before it will take off to another stage.

You write as someone who has a very poor knowledge of the market and talking trash. Before 100 days in office for trump he has executed his promised bitcoin strategic reserve and some crypto related lawsuits are dismissed. I wonder what you want .

God damn right 1 maybe 2 billion a coin by my birthday Jan 2026.

The musky trumpeter  shall rise again.

BTW as a backup I have 10 trump coins as they will go well past every other coin there is.






just kidding 200k for btc by 2026nworksmfor me

NGL, the lack of clarity on the "Crypto Council" that was promised is disappointing, but it's only been a few months. The real question isn't whether Trump "loves Bitcoin" it's whether his administration creates regulatory clarity that allows innovation to flourish.

Yeah. The crypto community is very disappointed. Turns out it was all a scheme to help attract publicity and voters. The US already had its own "BTC reserves" with the coins confiscated from criminals. Trump's administration should've instructed the FED to buy BTC by selling bonds and/or treasuries to make it official. There's always the option of Elon Musk using his own money to contribute to the cause. He is the world's richest man, after all.

Nonetheless, market prices haven't moved that much for quite some time. Part of this has to do with the on-going trade wars. It's going to take a lot more than just a "strategic reserve" to "pump" Bitcoin's price all thay to "Mars". At least, we know Bitcoin is the future of money. We're living in uncertain times, so anything's possible.

Trump isn't a fan of speculation, he finest understand anything about crypto. If he really does understand the concept of crypto, he wouldn't take the approach his team of crypto is given him recently, he just accept the explanations given without understanding anything deap. Some days ago when he gave the speech about Bitcoin, I almost wanted to knock him on his head, he doesn't know that such comments are bad for Bitcoin, it affected the price.

Whether we accept the truth or not, it's a fact that he doesn't know crypto but he has some teams behind doing everything at his best interest. Surely, even the Trump coin was not his idea, there is somebody who does things in the best interests of his and Trump that's why so far, this crypto reserve thing they are trying to push hasn't yield anything because they know he wouldn't defend it but for promise sake, he will want to make it looks like it's going to happen.

I suggest using one of the simplest but most effective ways to evaluate a person, in this case Trump:
1. take his promises
2. take his current statements
3. evaluate the actual accomplishment of the goals in his promises.
4. Check the variability of his statements, or more precisely, the difference between his previous statements and his current ones in relation to some issue/goal/task.

In my personal opinion, the picture is as follows:
1. promises were logical, built on current problems, and great ideas for the future (This is +).
2. After the inauguration, statements flew like a cornucopia, but the realization of the statements came down to “It's all Biden's fault, what do you want from me?” or “Now we will force them and they will regret that they didn't obey us at once” and after a while “OK, let's cancel the coercion, because the process is not going the way I dreamed”. (This - )
3. from “achievements” - well, except degradation of the status of the USA, and manifestation of the status of the USA as an unreliable partner, destruction of economy and management system, losses of American companies and businessmen who believed in populism. The strongest reputational blow to the Republican Party. (This is -)
4. Variability - reading manipulation and constant “wagging” of his words, attempting to retract his words or give them a very different meaning. (This is -)

Bottom line - so far the minuses outnumber the pluses.
PS From time to time there is a feeling that Trump, having lost to someone or being strongly dependent on someone, is fulfilling someone's command to destroy the USA....

Regarding Donald Trump's motivation...

Who is the beneficiary of the economic upswing of the last 30 years? The economic upswing that was associated with globalization? Not the United States or the European Union at all.

The beneficiaries and beneficiaries of the economic upswing caused by globalization are countries that were previously very poor countries. For example, China's wealth has grown much more than the United States' wealth over the last decades. This also applies to other poor countries.

In the past, modern technologies were created either in the United States or in the European Union. This is no longer the case.

I think that Donald Trump and his team are very well aware of this circumstance. Donald Trump is a very bright and aggressive character, so it seems that his goal is to increase the role of the United States in the world. However, this is only an illusion. Donald Trump's goals are completely opposite - he wants to reduce the role and status of the United States in the modern world.

Because he realizes that the ambitions of the United States do not correspond to the state of its economy. Donald Trump does not want the United States to repeat the fate of the USSR.

Well, Trump's current term hasn't been as great as his first one. He's been acting more aggressive in his approach towards changing economic policy. I think President Trump should've moved slowly with the tariffs instead of going all in. "Slow and steady wins the race", right? Unless neighboring countries meet with the US' demands under Donald Trump's leadership, things aren't going to get better anytime soon. America and the rest of the world will suffer dearly. Things have moved quite fast in just 2 months since Trump was sworn in as POTUS. Imagine what will happen by the end of 2028.

I, for one, believe the deteriorating economic situation began with Biden's administration back in 2020. But frankly, tariffs are not the solution. It will cause a trade war that will affect all sides. The FED should just turn "hawkish" to make the USD stronger. Raising rates will do the trick. A stronger USD is the best medicine for inflation. But rates remain unchanged, despite the deteriorating economic situation in America. So inflation will remain stubborn, affecting the US and other countries relying on the USD. At least, that's how I see it. But I could be wrong (I'm no expert in economics). Hopefully, we'll be able to see the "light at the end of the tunnel" soon.

I don't quite understand why you think that Trump is reducing the role of the US in the world. In my opinion, he made it very clear that he will fight to support the role of the dollar, which puts him on par with all previous presidents. They all have one obsession - to strengthen the role of the dollar in the world. And when Trump said that he does not like BRICS and their initiative to create their own currency, he defended the dollar.
He is also very concerned about the global struggle for resources and participates in it. Why do you think he became aggressive towards Canada? They have resources in the north of their territories. The same goes for Mexico. They have plenty of oil and gas reserves. And all these are the real reasons for his close attention to these countries.

You surprised me, no part of Trump's prediction is coming to pass now but only to put hardship on the American people. If one tells you that it will be difficult before it gets better, you can't disintegrate the two and call it a prediction come true, the "better" part must happen before it is termed true. But for now, the American people should prepare for the worse caused by his senseless fight on both foes and friends/allies.

Trump is doing some irrepairable damage where partners/allies have been turning to other countries for everything (material, civil and military), I wonder how this will be good for the US in the long run. He is just doing the wish of the BRICS unknowingly.

Expect nothing other than sending the seized money to the reserve, he has limited power, and Trump himself knows what he campaigned for is not possible and knew that the idea would die at the Congress if ever gets there, but just playing the people.

Was America better under Joe Biden's leadership? I doubt it. Trump's tarrifs may be painful right now, but they're the "medicine" to help restore the American economy in the long term. He should just abolish the IRS and collect taxes from the tariffs. Countries whose economies have been impacted by the tariffs must work with the Trump administration to reach a deal. Not retaliate and increase US tariffs in response. It will make matters worse (enabling a trade war).

The world has become increasingly hostile since the COVID-19 pandemic, so don't expect things to get better soon. We're reaching "multi-polarity" as we speak. It will affect the US and the whole world. Would you imagine BRICS moving away from the USD? Trump will impose 100% tariffs on them, and "all hell will break loose". May God have mercy on our souls.

You are right. Although he is a president who has taken important steps for Bitcoin. Bitcoin has definitely fallen due to the customs duties and some uncertain policies he has implemented.
In the future, he may enact even harsher tax laws or similar laws, which will directly affect financial markets and Bitcoin.
Remember, when he was first president, he had the biggest impact on Bitcoin entering its bear season. Now, his interest in owning Bitcoins can still be seen as a good thing.

Yes, it was better during the Biden administration, but people do not appreciate what they have until they lose it. Biden administration tried its best despite being the time that the world was faced with challenges, especially inflation, and it was impressive how his administration managed it and the economy at large. Talk is cheap, see the inflation during his time by Financial Times, they managed to bring it down pretty fast despite being global.

https://talkimg.com/images/2025/03/25/lG8mW.jpeghttps://talkimg.com/images/2025/03/25/lGKVJ.jpeg

And here comes the US GDP during his time: By Statistica. All I see is a progressive status.

https://talkimg.com/images/2025/03/25/lGbDC.png

By losing friends, partners and allies? Mark my words, if there is no change in disposition, they will be the medicine to kill the US economy and leadership position at the world stage.

Well, I agree with that $200k and that $1 Billion is a dream that won't become reality at least in this short life. I also bought that Trump coin when its price was at $10.2 and I think it will also give me some profits when it reaches $15. However, who knows if that coin dumps back to $5 and that's going to be a big regret later on. One of my friend owns at least 25 Trump coins and he believes that the coin will reach $50 in this year.

When looking at what Trump is doing (on the surface), most people would immediately think that he is isolating the United States by losing close, long-time friends, partners, and allies. But if we dig deeper and study the negotiation strategies in business, politics, I don't think he and his administration don't know what they are doing. They even know and understand what they are doing than any of us. Because they are not just politicians, they are people who have succeeded with outside businesses, which not many people have done and none of us have done.

So those who rush to conclude that what Trump is doing is bound to fail are just impatient. Or to put it bluntly, these people hated him from the start and hated him, not just what he did. Even if he does good things, these people won't admit it.

US President Donald Trump has announced another round of mutual import tariffs, which will be introduced on April 2. According to him, this will be the “day of liberation of the US economy.” But for the crypto market, such statements may mean not growth, but a sharp decline, as it already happened in February 2025.

all depends on the assessment given to trump, people's opinions always change sometimes they don't look further into trump's policies which are considered too far in taking a stance, of course there are certain reasons, which people may not understand, but I think trump doesn't explain in detail the policies that are set, in the end they only see the impacts that are happening at this time, without any solution to overcome it.

I saw the news just now which makes me visit this thread. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly341xr45vo

I noticed bitcoin fall a little but very minimal and insignificant

I do not think this will affect bitcoin growth. When the right time come, bitcoin will increase significantly. But I am just happy that the news almost have no effect on bitcoin price.

It seems that the Bitcoin market is getting used to Trump's tarriff, which might be why the impact was not significant. Another might be that the tarriff will come into effect next month and other in May. Exempting major car trading partners like Canada and Mexico is also a piece of positive news for the market. This might not be the end of this tariff war because he is still targeting more sectors to start a trade war.   

Bitcoin later fall a little but it is good that the price has increased back up today.

Another tarrif again today. 10% tariff on UK goods while 20% on EU goods.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c1dr7vy39eet

It is good that bitcoin increased in price today.

Edit:
The price later fall again probably because of the tariff?

Am I enjoying Trump? Well, the answer is No. Research has it that Trump was never in support of cryptocurrency years back, Trump called Bitcoin a scam few years ago and making a U-turn and then suddenly showing interest in Bitcoin was just for his political interest and to impose his $Trump on us with his influence. Trump's policies is not Bitcoin-friendly and it doesn't seem to do Bitcoin any favors anytime soon as his tariff plans have already caused a dip in the market.

It is however exciting to notice that bitcoin price is gradually loosing itself off the Trump's effect chains because it was almost like Trump was in control of the price of bitcoin with whatever policies he throws on the table bitcoin price gets deeply affected.

If it were to be at the beginning of this year there was no how this tariff policy on the UK wouldn't have negatively affected bitcoin price but right now it's slightly in the opposite as we see bitcoin price makes a rise than falling. Probably by the time we gets to the end of 2025 we will see significant changes.

and it dropped bigly
it is coupled to market moves for now.

in time maybe it does okay.

I used to enjoy him during the campaign period up to the elections. But this time, with the tariff war that he's initiating, I don't like what will be the impact on this in our country. Despite that we're rich in natural resources and other minerals, our government keeps on importing materials, food and other stuff. And we're going to be massively hit with this and the goods here are mostly expensive already since the pandemic came and the irregularities that our government is doing is no longer enjoyable as well. So, I'm expecting that all imported and exported goods are going to have that tax that we don't like to have. We the consumers are going to be the ones to pay for them and our economy will be pressurized by this tariffs that Trump is imposing.  :-\

After some minutes that I made that post, bitcoin fall significantly and went from a price above $88500 to a price below $82500. Trump tarrif is still having huge effect on bitcoin price. I wish bitcoin has not been linked to Trump. But the effect may only be of short term because if it continues like this, I believe the effect may later reduce and we all know that bitcoin will still prove itself as an asset of value. I later edited the post when I saw bitcoin price falling.

Donald Trump is the President of the United States. He has already made his position very clear that he is not going to be the President of the whole world.

Therefore, I have no right to make any claims against Donald Trump, he is not the President of my country, I did not vote for him, he did not give me any promises and did not take any obligations regarding me. American voters can express their opinion regarding Donald Trump - after all, he is the President of their country.

In general, Donald Trump is fulfilling his election promises, while it is completely unclear whether his actions will lead to positive results. He has planned very serious reforms, in particular, he wants to reconsider trade relations with all countries of the world, make the United States a Great Industrial Power, and so on.

All these reforms can potentially have a beneficial effect on the US economy, but there are serious doubts that Donald Trump will have enough time to bring these reforms to a positive result.

It is quite possible that all of Donald Trump's plans, ideas and plans will fail.

Bitcoin is NOT linked to Trump. Rather, it is linked to the stock market. Whenever tech stocks fall, Bitcoin falls down in price. This is not the way, but unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it. Especially when Wall Street is in the game. The idea was to make Bitcoin independent from the existing financial infrastructure ruled by banks, Wall Street, and governments alike. But all we're seeing is quite the opposite.

How can Bitcoin become a true store of value this way? Even Gold is soaring towards new All-time-highs. Maybe Bitcoin is still early? I sure hope so. Otherwise, it will be an end of an era for good. At least, Trump has been enacting pro-crypto policies since day one. Tariffs are the only issue. Will the negative effects of a trade war be short-lived? Only time will tell...

Trump announced a new impose on the tariff issue from a 2.5 percent last year to a  minimum of 10 per cent from today. But for some countries that export lots of goods to the US, such as China, are set to be hit with higher levies from April 9. For China they are expected to pay 34 per cent while the EU will pay 20 per cent when exporting to the US.

However the tariffs are reciprocal. Which means if the US are shipping things to other countries they will be paying similar tariffs on it.

Bitcoin is crashing again. What caused it? Click the link below.

China retaliated with 34% terrif on United States imports which I think is the reason this time. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cvg52gjwg91t

I will say bitcoin is still above $80000 which is still something good but I wish bitcoin should had nothing to do with Trump.

Bitcoin is not related to the stock market because it is a commodity, the correlation between bitcoin and stocks is because both markets depend and are influenced by the world economy. Meanwhile, Trump's decisions directly impact the economy, so it's not wrong to say that Bitcoin is related to Trump at this stage.
Bitcoin depends on the economy, and the economy is controlled by banks and governments, so there is no way bitcoin can be independent of them.


As long as we still believe that bitcoin can only increase in price when there is positive news and wait for some influential person to mention bitcoin to help it increase. It will remain a speculative asset and never a store of value. What Bitcoin will become is up to us, bitcoin investors will decide, not bitcoin.

What he meant is that there is a correlation between crypto and stock markets. If Bitcoin goes down so is the stock market and vice-versa. And as much as we don't want to recognized this, we can't really deny that this is really happening specially when Trump become the President.

In any case, there is a big hype when Trump won the election as we touted that he will make Bitcoin as a strategic reserves. But we anticipated that the US government will invest like buying Bitcoin and any other crypto. On the contrary, it was a disappointment because he said that he won't buy but instead going to continue to hold what crypto they current have, those they got from seizing crypto assets from criminals.

I think Trump's interest in chasing Bitcoin in such a way, especially after the rumors about buying one million Bitcoins, will be directly linked to the fight against de-dollarization. If that happens, it would allow the States to maintain its economic power and dominance over the world.

The way that guy has been signing executive orders like he is fighting a global battle is really scary. He has imposed general tarrifs on almost all countries that are benefiting from the United state, he knew better that many of them want us and he has given them the conditions to remain as a trader between each country and the US. His policies didn't just affect only Bitcoin, the stock market is down back to 5 years low of corona time with many losses.

I want to belive he think he was the reason why the stock market came back healthy, the S&P and down Jones were pretty doing well but the last 5 days are not looking good. It's possible that it will stop here and it's possible we might dip more but what if his tenure doesn't look good again as many expert are already speculating recession and high inflation, there is more drama that we will see in coming months especially the way Bitcoin is looking strong while stock are falling.

I will say that trump has not really done badly because all that trump is going is what he promised Americans trump said he was going to add a tariff to goods coming from Canada and Mexico and he has done so I don't personally see what trump has done wrong, we should not trying and blame the fall in the price of Bitcoin to the decision that trump has taken because it was clear that he was going to implement some of these things we are seeing trump do so to me is not strange because trump was quite vocal in his campaign so I can say that trump is only trying to play politics because one thing we need to know is politics is a game of interest.

I hope you know what you are saying.

United States stocks has fallen and over $2.4 trillion has been lost on just Thursday. As of yesterday, it was reported that over $5 trillion has been lost. All what Trump could say was that he knew that would happen.

He did not just impose tariff on Canada and Mexico. China, EU, UK, other European countries, South America, North America, Asia, Africa and many other countries were included on Thursday which made the stock crash to be massive.

Did you know that presently there has been a massive protest in United States just because of what Trump has been doing?

Also did you know the the Congress wants to limit the power of the United States president as they want to pass a bill to let the president first report to Congress about any change he wants to make on tariff and the Congress will be the one to determine if it should be done or not and the process can take months.

Jeez.

This is either going to end really badly or we will turn out to be alright after all. I don't think this will bring much benefit on its own.

More precisely, from February 11 until today, the US stock market has evaporated more than $11 trillion. Coupled with the market fear index falling to 4, this is seen as a sign that the US economy is moving closer to a real recession.

Trump has imposed tariffs on 180 regions around the world with tariffs ranging from 10%-49%, with third world countries like Cambodia and Vietnam being the hardest hit.





Even some Republicans have expressed dissatisfaction with what Trump has done recently but I think all of this has to do with the Democrats. We all know how polarized American politics is, and the Democrats are taking advantage of this situation to attract voters and supporters to their side.

You said it yourself. "Both markets depend and are influenced by the world economy". Wasn't Bitcoin designed to be independent from the centralized financial system? By letting Wall Street and mainstream governments in, we've essentially "destroyed" Bitcoin's value proposition. Now it moves according to what happens in the real world. It's even worse with Donald Trump patronizing it every step of the way. People associate Bitcoin with Donald Trump and tech stocks. I've even read comments from some people thinking there's some sort of CEO behind Bitcoin. Everybody thinks Bitcoin is an investment tool to "get rich quick", when in fact, it's much more than that. It's a currency, a movement, a revolution.

With such mindset, I don't think BTC will be able to establish itself as an independent asset/commodity. It's already too late for that. If the global financial system crashes, it will be bye-bye to Bitcoin's value for good (going all the way down to $0). At least, the core Blockchain itself is impervious from external interference. Those who truly believe in BTC will keep using it no matter what. Let's see how market prices will react with Trump's tariffs in play. There's a lot of uncertainty on global markets, so anything's possible.

Trump is very reputed person but he is not speaking in support of poor people. He made policies for the rich people because he is also rich people and have relationships with rich people. He will make policies which will damage poor people and poor people will die early. There are thousands of people who are facing hurdles in their lives and trump is responsible for that but who will take responsibility of that amd who will change the World. He launched his coin and he earned millions of dollars from that token and many people earned money but many lose money.Trump is focusing on making money and he will do that but we should learn from him and invest our time on useful things.

That was one of the main reason why people voted for him, they thought that BTC and other crypto currencies would do well but after he won the election the price of Bitcoin has been going down immensely. Trump's administration is going as planned but in other aspects I would say he's doing well so far. But with trump as president what do you think the future of Bitcoin would be ? Is there really going to be another bill run that many experts have predicted to happen this year? From the looks of things that's not going to happen

Trump talked a lot about Bitcoin before the election to get the support of Bitcoin lovers. And even after the election, he talked about Bitcoin for a few days. But now he is talking in favor of Israel and on the other hand is making various changes to the law regarding VAT tax. The whole world has now started talking against Trump. And due to such activity in the world, the crypto market has started going down, and Bitcoin and other fall top coins have already gone down a lot. Trump has now become a threat for crypto.

I have already said that we should not expect too much from Donald Trump because he can't take every decision on his own without the arms of government. Any decision Trump makes is in alliance with the American government so he is not the messiah that will make bitcoin or other cryptos to flourish. Whether everything ends badly or become alright, Trump's policies and decisions towards cryptocurrencies can only cause shot term market volatility, they won't last for a very long time. The market will still be revived systematically and not under the influence of a single entity.

First of all, we will have to give ourselves time to get to know what exactly Trump is targeting and planning for Bitcoin, as we know that Bitcoin is a long-term asset and at that, any policy that is designed to support and work with Bitcoin must have a long term capacity so for that not rushing the present government to do what we think is right for Bitcoin a d the entire cryptocurrency space is wrong, we should allow him settle down in office and also to hit the road running first with his policies that will equal the growth of the countries in terms of trades and other bilateral deals.

The only good aspect of Trump administration is the consistent press conferences he holds at the Oval office taking questions on world issues like war, trade, tarrifs etc. Being a president of America, almost the world, is not easy, he has a lot to think of, unless remember he'd chime his view on Bitcoin. Ever since his administration no reporter has asked him about his intentions on bitcoin. Hence, the Bitcoin community is lacking reporters who have access to the white house. They are the right people to question him on this matter.

Yes, that's what is feared, indeed in taking Trump's policy there are many controversies that occur, and that is very worrying and can affect the Crypto market, when Trump announced trade tariffs and set the policies that occurred and it was very difficult and caused a simultaneous decline in the Crypto and Bitcoin markets, indeed that decision affected digital assets. I think if Trump's decision is not changed, an economic downturn will occur.

The market's reaction to Trump's tariff policies is complex  Bitcoin's recent drop to sub 77K likely has multiple causes beyond just the economic policy shifts. While the tariffs may contribute to market uncertainty, it's important to remember that crypto markets experience volatility regardless of political factors.

Not only the crypto market the stock market has also been down since the Trump tariffs came into effect when the policy was in effect the global economy became uncertain I don't want to attribute that his policy has caused the market to react quite strongly but the fact is that's what we are feeling right now. The market is still not showing good signs I think this downturn will continue but don't panic we have been through this many times let's fasten our seat belts and enjoy this volatile market while taking advantage of the buying momentum as much as we can. ;)

Markets soar as Trump pauses higher tariffs on most countries but hits China with 125% rate

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cp8vyy35g3mt

I hope Trump will stop this tariff craziness. He paused it for 90 days. I hope he will open to negotiation.

Bitcoin started to increase significantly after the tariff pause. The price of bitcoin now is $82650.

What he has just showed us is the reality of life after election. You know the people that were expecting the most from him are the Bitcoin community, they want to see Bitcoin becomes legal because you know we are impatient and he has to play along. If he doesn't say anything about Bitcoin from now till the end of the year, I will not be shock because there is nothing economical about him and US economy, it's the ones he knows he is currently fighting for and that's the tarrif interest.

He is doing everything to proof to the world that America is not a weak country and a country every country can't do without but then we all know he is bluffing with those tariff, even the US can be sustain with those numbers unless he want to tank the US growth by more than 50% cos tell me, who is going to pay 50% tarrif? On what bases even if the relationship trade is benefiting other countries, they will fall out of line but time will tell, I still don't think this 90 days cool off will change anything.

Which of his policies benefit the rich and harm the poor? The tariff war is hurting everyone, not just the poor. While middle and low income people are spending more because of tariffs, rich people don't care and are not affected much by it but they suffer huge losses in the stock market. Trillions of dollars have been wiped off the stock market in a short period of time because of his tariffs. Many billionaires who once supported him have now turned to criticize and oppose his tax plan. It can be said he is hurting everyone and not targeting anyone in particular.

He made billions of dollars as at one point the market capitalization of TRUMP reached over $16 billion. But I won't blame him, those who lost money should take responsibility for themselves because it was their decision. Did Trump promise anything regarding that coin, or did he force people to invest in it?...It is obvious that people are greedy, want to get rich quick and think it is easy. In the end, most of them lost money but did not dare to admit that it was due to their greed and tried to blame him.

Crypto is a financial market, not a charity, I think we all know that and we should take responsibility for our decisions instead of blaming others when we lose.

It's obvious that what he is doing has impacted Bitcoin and crypto market, so the answer could be No, we are not enjoying. However, when he won and see the price goes to $109k, then at that time, we are all proud that Trump is elected as a pro-Bitcoin President.

But now, things are very different, specially his tariff that really cause a lot of chaos, against everyone, from big countries like China and his allies like Canada so it really messed things up from financial perspective. And we can't do anything about it but to absorb it as Bitcoin enthusiast and wait till the market settles down.

It will end very bad. I do not see a scenario where global economy recovers from this, it is going to just get worse and worse. While crashes like 2008 was big on the whole world, and even COVID made sure we couldn't work, this one is a long term terrible news. It is not going to make it terrible overnight, you are not going to get poor overnight, but at the end, you are going to feel it more and more.

I can't see how it could be better, there is really nothing that looks like it could be better, this is why I try to avoid it as much as I can to deal with foreign goods during this period. If you really want to make sure, then you could just check all the economists talking about this, they are saying the same thing.

Well, no other President has been as crypto-friendly as Donald Trump. His administration's policies (except the tariffs) are ultra-bullish for crypto. I'm sure the market will adjust with tariffs in play. Long-term speaking, Bitcoin should go all the way to Mars. We just need to be patient. If we panic, we'll miss the opportunity of a lifetime to get filthy rich.

Whatever happens, rest assured that Bitcoin won't be going anywhere soon. It went through several downfalls in market price, yet it achieved a new ATH after each halving period. Back then, there were no spot ETFs and the crypto industry was in some sort of "greyish" regulatory stance. Bitcoin has gone this far, so I'd suggest you keep buying and ignore the FUD. :D

Is too early for people to conclude if this new administration will favour crypto users or not, If you watch the president very well, you will know that he is still working to see how crypto users and nations will benefit from this new administration, which was the reason he brought out this tariff policy to see what will happen next. I have confident on this U.S new administration, that it will going to be better than last administration because the president speak on crypto reserve recently, which he will surely do it before this tenure run out.

Let us watch what will happen for his next move concerning crypto, I know he will do something fast that will make people to believe that U.S president care about crypto.

In crypto you are correct.In regards to trust, that is gone.
Leaving the Ukraine alone in Kursk, Allies having doubts about if you can disable fighter planes in midair?
Withdraw a protection they the US asked for 20+ years?

America 1st is America alone now.

Trump has only used his political strategy. And he has shown a lot of seriousness about crypto to stay in the spotlight during the election. He is still quite positive about Bitcoin, but he is now much more discussed due to imposing additional tariffs on products from different countries. Trump is not thinking about the world, but is only thinking about the development of his own country and is maintaining his own attitude. Which no one expected from him until the moment he won the election.

I like the trump one point of view because he is against the War and he want to do business with the financially stable countries. He made many policies and he is growing person and he has good state of mind because he want peace on the earth but Israel want no peace on earth because they have power of money which is IMF and America has to do many things which they don't want to do . Many people are against Trump because he made policies which don't support poor people because Trump belongs to rich family and he always think about the rich people and also all governments want to give support rich people because they are the reason behind the big tax rate .Because they are paying to poor people who are giving most of the tax and tax is running the country.
