U.S. President Donald Trump has just announced that he will unilaterally impose new tariffs on about 150 countries, ending the sluggish ongoing bilateral trade negotiations. He stated that within the next 2–3 weeks, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will send letters notifying the specific tariff rates for each country, to ensure that "everyone will know how much they have to pay to do business in the U.S."
Earlier, on April 9, Trump temporarily suspended retaliatory tariffs for 90 days to give countries a chance to negotiate with the U.S. However, with over 100 countries requesting negotiations, he believes it is impossible to meet all demands and decided to move to impose the new tariffs unilaterally.
This move has raised concerns within the U.S. business community. Major retailers like Walmart and Target announced plans to raise prices to offset the rising import costs. However, Trump dismissed these concerns, asserting that any price increases would be minimal and businesses would adapt by changing their supply chains.
Remembering Bitcoin Pizza Day – A Lesson on HODLing Crypto
On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, an American programmer, made history by using 10,000 BTC to buy 2 pizzas from Papa John’s. This was the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin, marking an important milestone for cryptocurrency. At that time, 10,000 BTC was worth only a few dollars, but by 2025, their value had surpassed 600 million USD! This day is celebrated by the crypto community as Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Laszlo's story reminds us of the incredible growth potential of cryptocurrencies. If you hold a coin, think carefully before selling – you might be holding a future “pizza” worth millions! HODL can be a smart strategy to seize great opportunities. Are you ready not to miss out on an opportunity like Laszlo's? 🚀🍕$PEPE

$ETH #Ethereum In the context of the cryptocurrency market showing strong recovery signals, Ethereum (ETH) is predicted to reach the threshold of 3,000 USD within the next 2 weeks. Several factors supporting this upward trend include: significant capital flow returning to the altcoin market, markedly improved investor sentiment following positive news from the US regarding spot Ethereum ETFs, and the upgrade of Layer 2 solutions that are enhancing network performance.
Technical analysis also shows that ETH has surpassed a key resistance level around 2,700 USD, while forming a 'cup and handle' pattern – a classic bullish signal. If there are no unusual fluctuations from the macro market, ETH could very well test and conquer the 3,000 USD mark in the first half of next month.
$BTC thats great. Perhaps the price of $104,000 will be maintained for a while. Let's wait for positive information from the macro market, I hope the price of $104,000 will be a strong resistance level for BTC. Let's aim for the price of $110,000 Here we go.

Hey guys, quick question about swaps. Let’s say suppose I’m swapping 48 $BTC to USDT at a market price of $96,500 (rounded for easy math). I should be getting around 4,632,000 USDT. But I’ve noticed that the maker fees are insanely high—sometimes around 40,000 to 43,000 USDT—which really eats into the profit. Is there any way to reduce these fees and receive the full amount? Also, why does $BTC seem to have different prices on different exchanges? Feels like I'm getting shortchanged depending on where I trade #BTCRebound
