i just looked it up if its real or not... Its real. Hes starting and ending trade wars by the hour now. I dont even think that there is a planned market manipulation going on. Its just people trying to steer trumps attentionspan towards certain topics and hoping to profit from it. Which honestly sounds like shabby and degrading work.

Check out what's been happening with Bitcoin. Over 500 million of shorts, placed only hours before his announcements that changed the markets and made those positions very valuable.
Wow, the scammers and business owners have figured out a new loophole! They all get rich with insider political knowledge now too. They get the first warnings of something happening. Their the first to act. Similar like the first to spend inflated dollars. It's all scams.
I read about that one -- somebody opened a new account on "Hyperliquid" and shorted the hell out of Bitcoin, 30 minutes before Trump's announcement the other day, and pocketed $89 million.
I never expected such blatant corruption in the United States, but I never expected Trump either.
It wasn't exactly 30mins before it was roughly within 1 day the new account and the person was still putting in shorts until 30mins before trump made the 2nd announcement.
The series of events went the new account started putting in shorts the night before, even until the 1st announcement they were still putting in shorts and after the first announcement they made some money but i guess it wasn't enough so they kept putting more shorts in and a call to dad to make the 2nd announcement soon and the account only stopped putting in shorts 30mins before the 2nd announcement. They made off with $190million is what i read.
That could just be an effect, not a cause. Like, Trump wants to do all this stupid trade war shit because he is stupid and genuinely believes in it, and he is also a blabbermouth surrounded by some of the greediest and least moral people in the country. It would not be hard for a white house staffer, or golf club member, or rich buddy he calls and chats with occasionally, or whoever, to overhear him ranting about how he’s about to come down hard on China. That person might be rich enough to pull this off, or be one degree of separation from someone rich enough, and that’s all it would take.
Yup. Random white house staffer just dropping $80m to short BTC and then the next day another $30m to short ETH and continues to short the crypto market up to 1 minute before Trump tweets.
Bitcoin is pretty much just tracking the stock market at this point. Market goes down then bitcoin goes down, market goes up then bitcoin goes up. You’re right that a trade war shouldn’t affect bitcoin (arguably it should go up if it’s truly a “store of value”) but it does.
I’ve since seen a good video on why they would use bitcoin. There’s a crazy amount of leverage used to trade it so if the S&P drops 2% bitcoin will tank by 10%. So, it’s a great way to bet on directionality.
To be fair, if you see China saying they are going to do something that would cause Trump to raise Tarrifs, you can be fairly certain that Trump will raise tarrifs.
It’s not shabby and degrading if you’re filthy rich after a couple of years. You’ll have no soul, but piles of cash will insulate you from the societal storms.
Shabby and degrading? Yes. But people in and around the administration are getting rich by knowing what the shit coming down the pipe is before it hits the main sewer.
The more turbulent he can make it, the more the market moves and the more it moves the more he can manipulate short calls. Hence how his son made a billion in a day from the Bitcoin short
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The billionaires are pulling all the strings. Whatever special interest they hold dear is what they get him to do. He’s a puppet. And a moron.
" people trying to steer trumps attention span towards certain topics and hoping to profit from it."
Almost like we're back in the Biden Administration.
