#TrumpVsPowell That’s a wild but very plausible scenario — Powell’s potential removal would be a massive shake-up. He’s been seen as a stabilizing force, especially in navigating post-pandemic inflation and the volatile rise of AI-driven and crypto markets. If he's out, a few things could realistically happen:

1. Market Volatility Spikes: Without Powell’s cautious approach, traders might test the limits — flash crashes, meme stock surges, and crypto moonshots could become weekly events.

2. Political Influence Ramps Up: A Trump-aligned Fed chair could aggressively cut rates and deregulate, juicing short-term growth at the cost of long-term stability.

3. Crypto Goes Rogue or Mainstream: Powell has kept crypto in check. A new Fed head with a soft touch on crypto could ignite another bull run or open the door to institutional dominance.

4. Power Shift to Big Players: With fewer guardrails, hedge funds and mega-cap firms might take more control over markets, further marginalizing retail investors.

It really comes down to who replaces Powell. A Wall Street darling? A crypto evangelist? Or someone with deep ties to political agendas?
