1. The US is acting up again! Tariffs have skyrocketed.
Trump threatens: "If China doesn't withdraw 34% tariffs, I will raise it by 50% on April 9!"
So what happened? China directly retaliated—if you dare to raise, I dare to make your people pay!
2. The confidence between China and the US revealed: who is afraid of whom?
The US hoarded Chinese goods, can't live without them
Let's see what's in the American shopping cart: smartphones, computers, toys, furniture… all made in China!
Tariffs = price increase! Americans have to pay dozens more for a game console, grocery bills keep rising, this is the real blow to people's livelihoods!
China importing American goods? Not that urgent!
We mainly buy some soybeans, natural gas, and chips (although we can also produce chips ourselves).
Key question: Besides these few American goods, what else can be replaced? Find Vietnam, India? The quality sucks and it's still expensive!
3. The crypto market is surging with undercurrents: who benefits from this operation?
🔥 Short-term volatility warning:
Risk-averse funds are coming in: American people's wallets are shrinking → stock market volatility → gold and Bitcoin are being targeted again!
On-chain actions: Big players might be hoarding coins, and USDT's market value might soar again (refer to the trade war script of 2022).
💣 Regulatory landmine warning:
The US might target cryptocurrencies: afraid someone will use Bitcoin to bypass tariffs? Exchange KYC checks will be stricter!
China might also take action: under foreign exchange controls, retail investors may find it harder to use USDT for currency exchange.
4. What should we ordinary players do?
✅ Seize the opportunity:
Focus on the Bitcoin range of $50,000-$70,000, dare to bottom out during a crash, and don't be greedy during a surge.
Secretly dollar-cost averaging mainstream coins + doing some DeFi investment, hedging against inflation is the way to go.
⚠️ Avoid pitfall operations:
Don't touch privacy coins (like XMR), as US regulations are aimed directly at them!
Be careful of exchanges running away: when the market fluctuates wildly, unregulated platforms love to cause trouble!
Summary:
This tariff war seems to be mutual tearing between China and the US, but in reality, it's the American people who are bleeding.
For our crypto circle, volatility is opportunity! But remember—
Position management > blind speculation, cold wallet storage > lying flat on exchanges.
(Secretly saying: When the US really can't hold on and cuts interest rates to save the market, the next bull market will come...)
