šŸ‘Øā€šŸ’¼ Trump on Crypto: Top 5 Moments so far

This week marked Trump’s first week in office—and it was eventful.

Some of the action was directly tied to him, while other events were more peripheral.

Either way, here’s the top 5 moments so far:

1. The US Government is dedicating $500 billion to AI infrastructure

What does that mean, exactly? Think massive data centres—like the one planned for Texas—that could eventually house an artificial general intelligence. šŸ‘‡

2. The SEC has unveiled a new pro-crypto task force.

Dubbed ā€˜SEC Crypto 2.0,’ this agency-wide initiative. Crypto 2.0 will clear up confusion and offer clarity for the crypto industry.

The task force is led by pro-crypto SEC commissioner Hester Peirce.

The SEC made a statement saying it "can do better." šŸ‘‡

3. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) just launched its website.

True to its name, the site keeps it simple with just a title and a picture of a Dogecoin.

$DOGE, $DOGEGOV to the moon šŸš€

4. Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, has been pardoned and released.

At 26, he created a website that forever changed Bitcoin.

At 29, he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Now, after 10 years behind bars, Donald Trump has pardoned him.

@free_ross

The same system that imprisoned Ross now embraces the technology he helped pioneer.

5. World Liberty Financial, the Trump-owned DeFi platform, is still buying $ETH.

The World Liberty token wallet keeps expanding, now holding up to $186 million in $ETH. Just 20 minutes ago, they added another $5 million worth of Ethereum.

@ianheinishmma

Extremely bullish for $ETH and Ethereum-based tokensšŸš€

Overall? Trump’s start in office is looking very bullish for crypto.

What is Crypto (Matt)

Trump and AI

Trump is pouring 500 billion into AI - AI is undoubtedly the tech of the future - America will lead the way with crypto and other nations will follow - to me AI as a narrative makes so much sense - there has never been a more bullish outlook for crypto IMO - there’s a crazy amount of fear in the markets currently - and the short term might go up might go down - but over the next 1-6 weeks, I expect an enormous inflow of capital - A Bitcoin strategic reserve and other nations getting their hands dirty in the trenches šŸ“ˆšŸ’µšŸ’» don’t get shaken out.

šŸŒ©ļøNavigating the Storm: BTC Drops, Market Moves, and Staying Ahead

It seems like a lot of people here are feeling the impact of this recent BTC drop.

That said, I’d guess not many actually own any BTC.

This is why it’s so important to understand that when BTC drops, everything else tends to follow.

My content might not be as exciting as the next 10x low-cap gem, but it’s all about providing clarity on the overall market direction and knowing when to take on more risk or dial it back.

My goal is to help you figure out when it’s a good time to buy and when it might make sense to sell and reduce risk.

So, take a look at the content, or at least read the summaries on what BTC is doing.

On that note, we might see a bounce here, but there’s still a strong chance of more downside—so plan accordingly with your current positions. Don’t go all in right now with new positions thinking we’ve hit the bottom.

ā

Less trades, with more size allows for better trade management.

In addition, over the coming weeks I'm going to release a spreadsheet that has all my main open positions, with % portfolio allocation.

This will be updated as positions are updated, so you can follow along. This will include stable coin allocation.

I think transparency is key when navigating these markets, and I think it will prevent days like today hurting some of you so badly.

Stay safe, GL.

Stay on top with a quick BTC and ETH Market Update šŸ‘‡

I’m Back!

I'm back from holiday and back on the charts šŸ“Š

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks in the market—if you managed to buy this dip, massive congratulations! If you’re all out of dry powder, HODL. The game plan hasn’t changed.

I’m currently reevaluating my positions and scouting for fresh opportunities. But in the meantime, here are some closing thoughts: šŸ’­

Enjoying the ride yet? šŸŽ¢

This cycle is truly one of a kind. And crypto volatility is only going to ramp up this year.

The past week has been a rollercoaster—Trump and Melania memecoins, the inauguration, and a market glued to every move he makes.

While progress has been slow, credible voices within both the administration and the crypto space suggest that big moves are on the horizon. Looking ahead, I’m optimistic about 2025, which is shaping up to be a strong, Bitcoin-led year.

Keep praying for those green candles šŸ™

My stance is that currently there’s a chance of one final shakeout, but I believe we’re transitioning into an "up only" phase that could last several weeks through February and March.

Hopefully, by the end of the month, Trump will clarify his stance on Bitcoin and crypto, bringing some much-needed direction. Until then, sitting tight in spot positions is the safest play.

Stay focused, zoom out, and avoid the trap of panic. The future looks bright—stay the course and don’t get shaken out. There’s still plenty of bull run left ahead.šŸ‚
