Although GENIUS Act already provided rule on stablecoins in previous year, current bill is last piece in seeing whether U.S will lead business or if it will be taken over by other countries. Simple passing of the bill without tough changes by the banks would cause Trump-led price jump. Current bad decision of market in my view is high risk bets where Trump can pressure Senate to win the bill, but banks fighting it, even win would be weakened with same rules business is attempting to get rid of.

Are there rich whales of the Donald's memecoin in this forum? It appears that you are very lucky. The president of America is inviting you for lunch in Mar Lago if you are a top holder hehehehe. It would be very much appreciated honor if someone can represent bitcointalk.org heheheh!



Holders of the $TRUMP token will have another opportunity to dine with the U.S. President after the company behind the token announced a "gala luncheon" with Donald Trump set for late next month.

The luncheon, scheduled for April 25, comes just under a year after token holders were invited to a previous dinner with Trump. That one was open to the top 220 holders of the token, while this new one will bring in 297, with 29 invited to a VIP tour of Mar-a-Lago, the event venue, the issuer of the token said Thursday.

News update!

It appears that the Trump pump has returned after a speech he has made in the Whitehouse! This very much appears that the Clarity act will pass and delivered to the desk of the Donald for signing. Thank you Donald J. Trump!



The rally accelerated after US President Donald Trump renewed calls for Congress to advance digital asset market structure legislation following discussions with cryptocurrency industry executives.

Trump's backing of the stalled CLARITY Act, which aims to establish clearer regulatory treatment for digital assets, helped revive expectations that the US regulatory environment could become more supportive of the industry.

Cryptocurrencies were also supported by the US Treasury's decision to expand purchases of longer-dated government debt. The move drove Treasury yields lower and weakened the US dollar, providing a favourable backdrop for Bitcoin and other alternative assets.

I find it a bit irrational to see how this has affected the Bitcoin market in particular, but we already know that’s how markets are – irrational. Although I do like it when that irrationality works in my favour, as in this case, with Bitcoin on the rise.

Trump’s speech, and above all the anticipation surrounding the passage of the Clarity Act, is much more bullish for other cryptocurrencies than for Bitcoin, but I suppose it has pushed the entire market upwards overall.

That's not new and I personally think it had no effects on the price, and even if it did, it's effects were priced in before this rise.

This large rise started after the news about US national debt reaching $40 trillion dollars. We can see its effects on other markets as well. Oil and gold (and precious metals in general) are also on the rise and are rapidly setting new highs compared to previous month(s).
We already knew that as dollar fails, price of every hard asset goes to the moon. And that's exactly what's been happening here.

All these isn't for Bitcoin, but Bitcoin will benefits from it anyway, Trump said he wants HyperLiquid in the US, and as per what my chart is saying it's time for other cryptocurrencies to shine, I'm not just sure if Clarity Act is what we actually needs, someone I respect and use to follow is saying that Clarity Act will be bad for crypto, he doesn't want it to happen, the question I have now is have we really bottomed or this is another big bull trap loading?

Price effects can be priced in before or after a big approval and a latest lesson is from Bitcoin Spot ETF approvals in January 2024 in the USA. Many months before the approval from SEC, people talked too much about very high probability of Bitcoin Spot ETF approvals because they saw participation of BlackRock that has very high successful rate in their Spot ETF applications in the past, and from a solid foundation from Grayscale's won lawsuit case before.

Then we all witnessed that after January 2024, effects on Bitcoin market and price were not too big as expected by most of the community. It's because effects were priced in before January 2024 and approval announcement.

If we have long term investment plan, we will not care about whether effects will come before or after any big approval. Effects will come sooner or later, and effects can come and go but the market stays and Bitcoin growth is solid with time.

It sure seems like the government was waiting for the bottom of the four year cycle to load up their reserve of Bitcoin and that appears to be the plan. I assume the Clarity Act will pass next month and then it will be all eyes on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This could be an exciting year if old Donny Boy comes through with a million BTC buy.

Trump's words could have been just a small addition to the US Treasury's debt buyback announcement which triggered market growth. it's worth noting that the future buyback is merely a shadow of the previous quantitative easing programs and we're already seeing this effect in the market. I can imagine how the Bitcoin price could rise if the US resumes its previous quantitative easing programs. also Trump still has his own interests, he needs to sell his shitcoins TRUMP and WLFI tokens at a higher price.

I would argue against your argument and I would also mention that your argument that the cause of the pump is the national debt of the US and A is headshaking.

On the Clarity act, before the Donald's announcement, bitcoin is very much not pumping and the ratings on the chance of the Clarity act's approval is low. After the Donald's speech, the Trump pump has begun.

On your argument that the national debt is the cause of the pump, if this is true then bitcoin should have pumped to more than $1 million already before this has occurred because this national debt of America has been on very dangerous levels already.

Also, it is headshaking that this people in this forum will not accept if the Donald caused the Trump pump, however, they will blame him if there was a dump that he has not caused heheheheheheee.
