Trump vs. Powell: A Shock to Markets, a Boost for Bitcoin?
Donald Trump has been vocal about wanting to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell—something that hasn’t happened since the Fed gained independence in 1951. While no president has ever pulled the trigger, Trump’s unpredictability makes it a real possibility. If it happens, we could see major financial turbulence—from shaken trust in U.S. institutions to market selloffs and even panic on Wall Street.
But here’s the twist: chaos in traditional finance could actually be bullish for Bitcoin.
As a decentralized, non-political asset, Bitcoin thrives when confidence in centralized systems erodes. When governments change the rules mid-game, Bitcoin starts looking more like digital gold—a safe haven that doesn’t play by those rules.
Sure, Bitcoin could see short-term volatility—especially if a “risk-off” sentiment sweeps all markets—but the long-term outlook grows even stronger. Altcoins like Ethereum or Solana might struggle under prolonged regulatory uncertainty, giving Bitcoin a chance to reassert dominance.
Bottom line?
If Trump starts flexing power and shakes up the Fed, Bitcoin could emerge as the real winner. Stay sharp.
