The big deal for Bitcoin, other than the greater fool theory, is that Trump had huge contributions from the bitcoin industry (the guy who once said he didn't need to raise any money "since I am SOOO RICH").
The idea is to replace the SEC folks with those more favorable to getting bitcoin ETFs approved for public trading. The result would be ETFs (that don't directly own any equities) and bitcoins that have no fundamental value.
What can go wrong? More folks getting scammed by sales to the public who have no clue about the risks of holding what has no underlying value other than what the next person will pay for it.
It’s not going to end well.
Trump is talking about paying off the national debt with Bitcoin.
The entire government is now being bought by the crypto industry. To the point where one senator is going to push a bill to start selling the US gold’s reserve snd replacing it with Bitcoin. This could have disastrous consequences down the road.
Millions of people don’t know their hard-earned money is going into these Bitcoin etfs. A portion of their pensions will be funneled into funding the most sophisticated and global ponzi scheme to line the pockets of those at the top. Bitcoin will endure a a major crash in the next few years, perhaps crashing 80% or more. Millions of people will be unknowingly funding this scheme.
It’s all about greed and making quick and easy money. 99% of those buying crypto are just looking to make a quick buck.
Meme coins such as Doge and Pepe now have greater market caps than companies such as Boeing and Nissan. Yet they provide zero value to society. This is worse than the dotcom bubble, where profitless companies were given huge valuations by the market. It cannot be sustained, and eventually this Ponzi scheme willl collapse, with disastrous consequences.
There are fools who paid millions for an ugly ape NFT and virtual property in the metaverse. If they want to be idiots, that’s fine. But the corrupt crypto industry has bribed politicians with their dirty crypto money and are going to influence them into passing legislation that will give them more power that could upend the country’s economy and affect millions.
