We can't deny that there's an impact on trump winning the election that's why the price goes to 100k. It didn't reach 100k when halving happened on April but months later about trump's promise if he won the election also help the price go to 100k and reaching new all time high. The election in my opinion also help the time when the bull run os happening after halving so it's not entirely the cause of the election at that time but we can clearly see the price increase at the same time.

Imho trump was never the reason, and people who were saying he was the reason aren't giving him credit for the dump. So that makes me think those people were mainly just Trump fans, because their logic falls apart if you look at the markets.

It we want to credit him for something, current bear actually makes more sense, as we should have full blown altcoin season hype right now if the chart would repeat itself, like it did around the elections. For some reason it didn't. What's the reason?

Yes and no. He played some role and had some influence but not majority of it. If he was the reason why Bitcoin got to $100k last year and even surpassed it this year, can I also say that he is to blame for why the price of bitcoin has dropped below $90k now?

I agree with you. Bitcoin is bigger than any entity or personality and it would have still cruised to $100k if not last year, this year. Come to think of it, since Trump signed the strategic bitcoin reserve why hasn't the price surpassed $100k with the announcement?

It is okay if they saying like that because maybe they don't know what is the real reason behind Bitcoin increased. With or without that, Bitcoin will surge and pass the last highest price we see. They will see that Bitcoin have the power to lift the price and that is not because of some news.

We should wait and see what will happen as Bitcoin now decrease and get correction.

And that $70k is also because of Trump. It's when the rumors breakout about him getting involved in Bitcoin. Not that I'm hating him but Trump making a promise is like a classic move in the political area. Sadly it is usually a false promise only but anyway, what happened to the promise of Trump?

I heard there are negative news lately about him/it like he reverse the decision of making BTC as a reserve and then there are also those tariffs. This is what I'm talking about. This would be the reason of the dumping in the price of Bitcoin, nothing more nothing less but there are people who have benefited with the change, so it is not bad at all for them.

I don't understand why people keep praising Trump. He made a ton of promises regarding cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin that he failed to meet. He's the reason for the price crash, because he announced that there won't be a Bitcoin reserve apart from the coins that were seized by the government (see Silk Road). Arguably, a lot of people also claim that he's the reason why Bitcoin surpassed $100,000, but I somewhat disagree. From my perspective, Trump boosted Bitcoin's price, by accelerating something that would inevitably happen.

Every event involving bitcoin certainly has its own role and influence. It's just that it happened at the right moment when we were all facing the halving year. Trump may have given a little boost speculatively but not entirely. As someone who is number 1 in the US every word and policy will provide a spark, while sentiment executes the rest. Because that's how the speculative market works, especially in volatile assets. That's what I think but I could be wrong 

Among every other factor that leads to a successful something, there is one that is always seen as the engine behind that success. This is just what I assume people are doing with Trump being in the headlines as what made Bitcoin reach the $100k level. Aside from the having year, we also have ETF approval, which has also been another hype behind what could have fast-forwarded Bitcoin a little bit to reach a certain price target. Trump and his wide mouth just helped the movement by showing partial support.

I've been saying for a while now on the forum that people give too much credit to Trump. They've made it seem as if bitcoin won't amount to anything without Trump. They made Trump seem like a saviour who would turn everything around for bitcoin.
Yeah, we know his victory at the pools fast-tracked things a bit, but that's all it did. Even before Trump declared he would run for president, people predicted Bitcoin would get to 100k and above in 2025, so why are we now acting like something we were not hoping for or expecting happened and made it all about a man?

A few days ago when Trump talked about the "crypto Reserve" and we say an upward trend in price, someone talked about how it was easy to manipulate bitcoin now and I said, the bitcoin market also corrects itself in a short time if the movement in price was not organic and a few days after that we saw the price go back to 85 from (2 or thereabout.
Bitcoin is way bigger than what we give it credit for.
