stock markets are just correcting to prices a year ago....... yawn.
not yet entertaining enough of discount to buy the dip, nor really a dip enough to enter history books and have discussions about in 100 years
its about the same as trade wars of 2018, and who talks about that or named it.. um no one


media want to call it a 'disaster', 'a crash', 'trade war'.. but pfft not yet that dramatic... still needs time to play out

the dip is not even low enough to even give it a global event name.. though media are trying to sensationalise it and call it some devastating name

but yes you could consider the last 6 months as the "trump pump&dump", but still not as exciting as a 'bitcoin ATH correction'

Many people now regret voting for Trump, possibly even within the crypto community, as we initially rode the hype of his promise to support Bitcoin with crypto-friendly policies. However, I believe what's happening has nothing to do with Trump. Bitcoin has always been independent especially with the stock market. What we're seeing now looks more like a market correction, leading us into a bear market, especially since we already hit an ATH earlier this year.

So just chill. 

Not only crypto but the stock market as well.



I sold all my stocks except MSTR on April 1 (the day before "Liberation Day") and put the money into treasuries and gold and silver. Funnily enough the latter crashed too.

you know how the media likes to exaggerate everything to generate clicks the crazier
the news they push the more people will talk about it and spread fud
the thing is though the tariffs were not intended for bitcoin you could say that bitcoin was just collateral with all of this but the announcement of reserve? total pump move

For the time being everything is going to continue showing red. The shock Trump gave to the US economy and the global economy as well is going to dump the markets all over the place.

Then we have big economies retaliating, specially China that is the strongest economy that is also retaliating hard against Trump tariffs by adding its own severe tariffs on anything US made. The consequences of that is going to push all these markets even lower.

Then the combination of inflation and recession that is caused by all this craziness will put its increasing sell pressure on bitcoin and push that down as well...

The price of Bitcoin has not fallen dramatically, and I agree with Frankie here, the media (as always) is pushing their narrative about some catastrophes and the end of the world. They are just scaring people, and in reality, they are moving the focus from real stuff that needs to worry us. We have seen too many such situations, so just relax and don't think too much about what they say on the news and various experts, it's all one big propaganda.

meanwhile, whilst everyone is screaming 'red' 'red' 'red' 'sell sell sell'
others are whispering 'ill buy this while cheap'

when you sell there needs to be a willing buyer
so if your seeing your sell as a loss, then obviously its a win for the buyer

businesses cannot trade their own stock in response to their own internal information, as thats insider trading. and so the "going red" is not due to the companies actual performance or value.

businesses wont release info about the impact due to tariffs until they do their Q2 financial results in ~july
that then shows how tariffs have cost/benefitted the business

until then its just speculation. where investors and media(outsiders) are guessing how something may be bad or good depending on sentiment, emotion and guesses

media and outsiders can gain some info.. such as if General Motors is re-vamping their car assembly plant and by late april THIS YEAR(only a couple weeks away) they will be back in production of assembling more "us made" cars..

where as if stellantis is spending alot of money to take 2 years to create a whole entire 'from foundation' full manufacturing facility in america. meaning new model stellantis cars in america wont happen for 2 years.. then outsiders can speculate more green sooner for GM and more red for Stellantis for longer

I don't have any issue with calling it the Trump Dump.  Just make sure to call it the Trump pump if the next 4 years sees a new all time high for Bitcoin (which I personally believe it will). 

In reality, I think we're seeing a tug of war happening with Bitcoin at the moment.  People who are in a position to be able to stack are stacking hard, while others who speculate are probably dumping their coins to try and keep their stock portfolios from being liquidated.  Just remember it is ok to criticize, just be prepared to give props as well for a job well done.

No obvious relation between tariffs and BTC comes to mind, so this might just be trigger-happy people on the buy (November) and sell (now) buttons.
