Bitcoin BTC cryptocurrencies Fed Jerome Powell money printing USA

While Donald Trump plays geopolitical bingo, imposing a 145% tariff on China and retracting it within 48 hours, Bitcoin dances on a tightrope suspended between panic and greed. Experts predict that the leading cryptocurrency could reach 250,000 USD (around 1 million PLN) yet this year. But do these same experts remember that in 2022 they promised the same – and it ended with a -65%?

Trump, tariffs, and the stock market carousel: Who is the king here? “The Fed will save us!”

On April 9, 2025, Trump announced a 90-day tariff pause for everyone except China. The effect? Bitcoin jumped from 77,000 USD to 82,000 USD in a matter of hours. But it's just a temporary relief. Earlier, after the tariffs were imposed, the cryptocurrency market lost over 1 trillion USD within a week. As an anonymous Wall Street trader comments: “Trump has power not only over America – his tweets also govern investors' portfolios.”

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, predicts a bright future for Bitcoin: “When the Fed lowers rates, cheap money will flow into crypto like wine at a college party.” The problem? The Fed has denied for months that it plans cuts, and inflation in the USA still stands at 5.3%.

However, this does not hinder Arthur Hayes, ex-CEO of BitMEX, who announced in March: “Bitcoin is heading for 250,000 USD in 2025!” His argument? A recession will force the Fed to print money. But did anyone tell him that in 2022 he promised the same – and was off by 200%?

CYNIC'S EYE: Experts' forecasts are like horoscopes – they always hit if you don’t look at the date.
