What did Trump announce about creating a U.S. crypto reserve and why does it matter?
So recently Donald Trump apparently announced his intention to carry out the biggest heist In American history. No, seriously, I want to talk about what just happened because if you felt your wallet tremble, that was not your imagination, my friends. Donald Trump announced the creation of a quote unquote U.S. crypto reserve pledging to stockpile five digital currencies, including three highly volatile, barely regulated shit coin tokens. All on the taxpayer's dime. And in doing so, he is making it crystal clear that this administration is no longer just influenced by the crypto industry. It is, for all intents and purposes, it is run by it. So this is what he posted recently. And I quote, a U.S. crypto reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden administration, which is why my executive order on digital assets directed the presidential working group to move forward on a crypto strategic reserve.
I will make sure the US is the crypto capital of the world. We are making America great again, exclamation point, all capitals, of course. As one Twitter user posted, in 20 years of investing, this is the most corrupt thing I have ever seen in financial markets. Holy crap. If you're confused, don't worry. I'm going to break it all down for you. And let me just take a giant step back here. First of all, what is a crypto coin? At its core, a cryptocurrency is a digital asset. It is a string of computer code that derives its value from speculation rather than any inherent worth, okay? It is, by definition, valueless. And unlike traditional money, crypto isn't backed by a government, a central bank, or a tangible asset.
Its worth swings wildly based on market hype and often manipulation by the super rich. It's like the stock market. If the stock market was run by internet meme lords. It's a joke, and I mean that literally. It's been the center of actual celebrity roasts.
Tom also lost $30 million in crypto. Tom, how did you fall for that? I mean, even Gronk was like, me know that not real money.
Now, you may be somewhat new to crypto, but Donald Trump certainly is not. Donald Trump loves crypto. Why? Because crypto executives pumped over $130 million into his campaign. They showered him with money. And since taking office, he has made it clear that he is happy to return that favor. Trump's SEC already decided that crypto meme coins are untouchable. No regulation, no oversight, just digital gambling chips for billionaires who treat the economy like a slot machine. But now, you know, we're talking about something that's even bigger. Now the U.S. government, the supposed stabilizing force of the global economy, is setting itself up to be the buyer of last resort for an industry that has proven time and time again, time and time again, that it cannot regulate itself.
As former Congressman Tom Malinowski posted recently, Just so everybody's clear, this is using your taxpayer money to buy up cryptocurrency so that the price goes up for those holding it. And who are the folks who are holding crypto? Who benefits from this? Oh, you already know. Not the average American who can't afford a home because the economy now works like a Las Vegas casino. Not the small business owner. who is drowning under high interest rates, not you, not your parents, nor your kids. No, this is for the so-called crypto whales, the millionaires and billionaires, the same people who funneled money into Donald Trump's coffers are about to see their investments skyrocket while the administration locks in government-backed protection for an industry built on speculation.
I want you to listen now. Here's Crystal Ball. She's going to expand on this.
It just so happens... These five crypto coins that Trump announced he was going to be investing in with this digital asset reserve perfectly align with the top holdings of Bitwise Asset Management, which David Sachs, the crypto czar billionaire dude, happens to have invested in. So isn't that nice for him? His top holdings getting a massive boost courtesy of you and me and every American taxpayer.
