It's because of all the grand theft auto 6 leaks.

Btc is up because it's time, also because $40T. Shitcoins are up because that's what degenerates buy when btc goes up.

Trump announced today he was pushing Congress to push the clarity act again.

Also SEC is pushing to deregulate crypto further

quote:

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday proposed a new regulatory framework for crypto assets, the first major step under U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to give the industry the tailored rules it has long pushed for.

The SEC's proposal would exempt certain crypto companies and offerings from U.S. securities rules, which should make it easier for crypto companies to issue tokens and raise money.




Not sure it changes anything since the current SEC doesn't enforce any rules on crypto.

But this your pump to start dumping your bags

You realize no “money printer got turned on” right? We’ve been printing money for 20+ years.

The U.S. announced they will begin buying longer term Treasury bonds to try and artificially push interest rates on the long end of the yield curve down. If the US 10yr Tsy note goes down in yield (up in price) mortgage rates typically follow that path.

Trump hosted crypto conference at White House this week with ceo’s of the main players.

Seems that whenever he blows smoke on crypto, it has a run.

Disappointed to see the change in trump’s approach to crypto but with his kids becoming involved, through Liberty financial, they stand to make a lot of money with his support

Why are you disappointed? If you aren't involved in it, why would his stance on crypto affect you?

Bessent is far from a moron. His job is to get the titanic through the night. Nothing more.

We’re way past the point where austerity can help. The debt based fiat system is reaching the end of its life. Plan accordingly.

How about for the past year? XRP has a propaganda machine that won't quit.

Disappointed because he has changed his position.
He was correct in his earlier statement that he should not support it as president since he is the ultimate protector of the dollars’ credibility.
It looks very much like he changed his position for his own and family’s financial benefit. And they’ve evidently done very well through Liberty financial and other avenues.

But the more I see of trump va2 the more I see the carnival barker. Preying on naive, and dumb. He and gaslighters like him need people to be ill informed or dumb. He wasn’t so much that way in 2016 to 2020 but he’s showing his stripes now.

Why do I care? I don’t like seeing naive people get misled. This stuff is very risky and people are being told to invest in it when it’s nothing more than as trade.

And I am involved. I own coinbase as a trade. It’s a trade and I realize the risks.

I also hate seeing people manipulated by those who are suppose to be doing what’s best for them. The meme coins was such BS and so many people lost everything on those. I have crypto exposure but only 1% of my portfolio like you should. But I stay far away from any meme coins and anything not named Bitcoin in the crypto world. I would rather put the money safely in QQQM and SPYM and watch it grow over time
