      Shock Trump Leak Sparks Huge Crypto Price Rally—Boosting Bitcoin, XRP And Solana
      https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital...rp-and-solana/

      An "America-first strategic reserve" would back solana, a competitor to the more established ethereum, the USDC stablecoin issued by Circle and supported by major crypto exchange Coinbase, and XRP, developed by the company Ripple to facilitate cross border payments, it was reported by the New York Post, citing anonymous sources.

          It's good news for BTC although adding SOL and XRP to a strategic reserve does take a little from BTC. I'm hoping this isn't a buy the rumor, sell the news situation. If that does happen, we'll just have to wait a little longer for another big jump.

                    mind blowing.

                    Or does it show crypto is still small time compared what it could/will be?

                      Mind blowing. Dumb move by Trump. The team owns 80%. Insider trading at it's worst. There is a vesting schedule but it can all be sold during his presidency.

                          It does look bad. But I still would not have minded getting in on day one before Trump confirmed it was him. Surely they won't allow it to turn into a loser, this year.

                            Agree, they can't let it lose. I bought some time before my post yesterday so I really shouldn't complain.

                              Market likely to top around March. Make sure you take your profits in (or before) March.

                                BTC price ripping. Been a big move in L10 days.

                                I'll call for the price to dip this week. Up against resistance right now IMHO.

                                            Good morning, Opti. No doubt!

                                            I was looking at the Power-curve charts. If you zoom out, there does appear to be historical resistance on the top and bottom of the bands.

                                            Holy shit, what a move. I saw 107,800 and thought we were heading to an ATM. I see that we already got there!

                                            Trump inauguration day! What a country, what a life.

                                              Anything expected to spike today with Inauguration? Just looking at the table nothing is really popping.

                                                I don't want to be a buzz-kill. But I do think there's some logic to the BTC price flattening out over the rest of the week. Can't go up forever!

                                                        Risky but I do have TRUMP. There would be too much backlash for this to be a rug pull.

                                                                President Trump Signs Executive Order To Spark U.S. Crypto Markets
                                                                Today, President Donald Trump signed a new executive order titled “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology” that supports the growth of the digital asset industry in the U.S. As the crypto industry became one of the largest donors to his Presidential campaign after feeling beleaguered and attacked by regulations under the Biden Administration, today’s executive order is proof Trump is following through on a statement made during the campaign to make America the “crypto capital of the planet.”

                                                                Key policy actions included protecting and promoting citizens’ ability to use digital assets and develop the underlying blockchain technology without persecution, protecting the sovereignity of the U.S. dollar by supporting the growth of dollar-backed stablecoins worldwide, and protecting citizens from the dangers of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

                                                                The executive order pushed back on what the industry saw as an attack on their ability to conduct business in the U.S. by the prior Administration as a result of “Operation Chokepoint 2.0” (OCP 2.0). This concept was largely brought to light by crypto entrepreneur Nic Carter, Founding Partner at Castle Island Ventures, who maintained there was a deliberate attempt by U.S. regulators to “debank” individuals and entities working in cryptocurrency and to prevent banks from offering crypto services.

                                                                Trump also called for the establishment of the “President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets” to evaluate regulations in U.S. agencies that impact the digital asset industry. Previously named as the White House A.I. and crypto czar, David Sacks has been designated to chair the working group, which is embedded within the National Economic Council. This working group will aim to establish clear and transparent regulations for digital assets, with a particular focus on the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Justice, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                                                The working group would also study the potential creation and maintenance of a 'national digital asset stockpile'. This concept would be to potentially create such a stockpile from cryptocurrencies lawfully seized by the U.S. Government through law enforcement efforts. Prior to this, there was the much-discussed possibility of an executive order creating a ‘Strategic Bitcoin Reserve’ similar to what Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) has proposed in her BITCOIN Act. However, reports that Trump may want to consider a mix of cryptocurrencies “made in the U.S.” might have resulted in a decision to delegate this effort to the working group.

                                                                While not seeing this as an exeuctive order on “Day One” of the Administration, being prioritized to having Trump sign this in his first week in office sends out a strong signal that elevates crypto policy to national importance and creates a pathway for digital assets to flourish and grow in the U.S.

                                                                    Nice article, Raiders. A few basic considerations re: the Bitcoin price action:
                                                                    1) I expect the BTC price to trend up. Especially in the Bull market portion of the 4-year cycle.
                                                                    2) Doesn't go up in a straight-line. It's still a volatile asset.

                                                                    It sounds insane (to us) that China could make such a poor decision to sell off about 1% of the total supply. But this goes back to another point. Bitcoin is not yet a mature asset. It's arguably not yet at the inflection point of the adoption curve. There are players who are not yet sold on the long-term value of Bitcoin.
                                                                    Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

                                                                        Trump Pardons Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht

                                                                        President-elect Donald Trump has kept one of his key campaign promises and granted a full pardon to Ross Ulbircht, the founder of the now-defunct Silk Road darknet marketplace, who has spent more than a decade in prison.

                                                                        Ross was arrested in 2013 and sentenced in 2015 for creating the darknet marketplace, which allowed its users to buy and sell illicit goods using bitcoin. His charges included money laundering and drug trafficking.

                                                                        Trump said in a Truth Social post that he called the mother of Ross Ulbricht to “let her know that in honor of her and the Libertarian Movement, which supported me so strongly, it was my pleasure to have just signed a full and unconditional pardon of her son, Ross.”

                                                                        The President called his sentence of 40 years plus two life sentences “ridiculous.” Ulbircht was defended among the cryptocurrency and libertarian communities, who argued that he did not sell drugs or any other illegal items, but instead operated the darknet marketplace allowing for these transactions.

                                                                        The Silk Road was launched when the price of bitcoin was at just $0.50 and is seen as one of the catalysts for the cryptocurrency’s wider adoption as it was one of the first marketplaces to accept it as a payment method back in 2011.

                                                                        -----------------------------------------------

                                                                        It would be nice if he could recover some or all of his Bitcoin that was seized. He'd be a billionaire several times over. Having just 100 Bitcoin in a hidden wallet would surely pay the bills for a while...
