Your frustration is understandable, especially if you're watching your portfolio decline. But let's separate emotion from evidence here, because blaming a single person for market movements can lead us away from understanding what's actually happening.
Markets are complex. Crypto prices move based on thousands of factors: macroeconomic conditions, Federal Reserve policy, institutional adoption, regulatory announcements, global events, and yes, sometimes influential figures' statements. Trump's election did coincide with crypto volatility, but correlation isn't causation. Bitcoin and altcoins also respond to interest rate expectations, inflation data, and broader financial market sentiment.
Market manipulation is real and regulators should address it. But proving Trump personally manipulated crypto prices requires concrete evidence of coordinated trading activity or false statements designed to artificially move prices for personal gain. Without that evidence, it's speculation.
What's worth watching is actual regulatory clarity. Trump's administration's stance on crypto will genuinely matter for the industry. Some crypto advocates hope his administration brings favorable regulation. Others worry about uncertainty.
The healthier approach is focusing on fundamentals rather than blaming individual figures. Study the technology, understand market cycles, diversify your portfolio, and don't invest more than you can afford to lose. Market disappointment is real, but understanding the actual drivers of price movement helps you make better decisions than assuming manipulation.
