💥 Crypto’s on FIRE! 🔥 Bitcoin’s flexing at $95K, XRP’s about to BLAST to $3, but that $330M heist got me shook—my wallet’s on lockdown! 🔒 I’m spilling all the tea on my blog 🌟 Dive in for the juiciest insights:
In this alternate timeline, Donald Trump, the future 45th president of the United States Of America, never enters the politics game, and remains a prominent figure in the entertainment and business industries. This is because Trump in this timeline believes that entering politics would damage his reputation, and doesn't want to ruin that or his image in any way because of that, out of fear it could hurt both of them. This leads to Trump never entering the 2016 presidential election for the republican party, and he remains a figure in media and business, such as being the founding of universities and casinos, dealing with tax evasion, and continuing to work on multiple entertainment and business projects, such as the Miss Universe pageants, movie and tv cameos, reality tv, casinos, and much more, and never becoming a political figure, or the 45th president of the United States Of America. How does this change affect the history of America and the world? How would the 2016 presidential election be different without Trump in the picture?

#FTXrepayment FTX, once a leading cryptocurrency exchange, collapsed in late 2022, leading to significant financial losses for its users. Over two years later, the company has initiated the repayment process, marking a pivotal moment in the crypto industry's recovery.
On February 18, 2025, FTX began distributing approximately $1.2 billion to its creditors, focusing initially on those with claims under $50,000. This move is expected to benefit around 98% of the affected users, who will receive approximately 118% of their original claims.
The repayment plan prioritizes customers over governmental claims, with the possibility of interest payments up to 9%. Subsequent distributions are scheduled for April 11 and May 30, 2025.
This development underscores the importance of robust regulatory frameworks in the cryptocurrency sector to protect users and maintain market integrity.

Trump and His Family Earned Millions From Trump Coin While 810,000 Others Lost Money: Report
The early rise in value of Donald Trump’s memecoin, $TRUMP , helped some investors to earn significant profit while its crash caused more than 810,000 crypto wallets to lose $2 billion combined, according to an analysis reviewed by The New York Times. Meanwhile, Trump and his family have brought in approximately $100 million in trading fees alone.
Fast-moving professional crypto traders, some the paper said were based in China, bought $TRUMP at its opening sale price of 18 cents and sold quickly as its value rose to rake in significant profits. New York regulators earlier in January issued a warning about “pump-and-dump schemes” where “creators or their associates artificially inflate the price of the coins and then sell their own coins rapidly at an inflated price, reaping substantial profits while causing the price to crash.” Forensic firms Nansen and Chainalysis alongside independent crypto researcher Molly White, who has criticized the industry, analyzed $T$T$TRUMP to transaction records and then shared data with the Times.
One account that has raised eyebrows purchased $1,096,109 million in $TRU hours before Trump launched the coin. The account then quickly sold the coins for a $50 million profit, said Aurelie Barthere of Nansen, who analyzed the transaction. Later sales increased their profits to $109 million, White found. Another wallet started purchasing the coin two minutes post-launch then turned around and sold within a half hour, netting $2.7 million, according to blockchain data. The Trump family and their partners have yielded almost $100 million just in trading fees from $TRUMP , most of which have not been cashed out, according to Chainalysis. CIC Digital LLC, an affiliate of The Trump Organization, and Fight Fight Fight LLC own 80 percent of the meme coins, per the coin’s website. The paper pointed out: “No evidence has emerged that Mr. Trump or his associates artificially inflated the coin’s price or engaged in insider trading.”
Shortly after the coin launched, Trump claimed he knew very little about it. “I don’t know much about it other than I launched it,” he told reporters when asked if he would continue to sell products for personal gain as president. “I heard it was very successful. I haven’t checked it. Where is it today?”. While early buyers have cashed out $6.6 billion in profits, per Chainalysis, other traders have collectively lost $2 billion in actual or paper losses on the coin. In the first 19 days the coin was available to trade, 813,294 wallets had lost money, either by selling at a lower value than they bought the coin or by keeping coins worth less than their purchase price. One Trump supporter who purchased the coin put a rocket ship emoji in a post on X (formerly Twitter) where he tagged $Trump on the day of the president’s inauguration. Eleven days later, he posted, “Done with this $Trump crap. Sold it all, what a joke!” before adding that he “left a little in there to see what happens.” On that date, the coin was worth between $24-$27. As of publication, it was worth was hovering around $16.55, according to crypto.com. Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy organization, has asked the Department of Justice and Office of Government Ethics to investigate whether Trump violated the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, the anti-bribery statute, and other federal regulations by promoting the coin and encouraging his followers to buy it. Pointing out that people who purchase the Trump meme are “not purchasing a tangible product” but instead only receive a “digital receipt (in a blockchain),” Public Citizen concluded: “In short, it appears Trump is not soliciting money in exchange for an investment or tangible product (such as a Bible, sports shoes, or a guitar), but soliciting money in exchange for nothing — that is, asking for a gift that will benefit him personally.”
Why does Donald Trump think that tariffs are taxes on the other countries instead of the importers?
Most people don’t seem to understand tariffs anymore. I don’t know what Trump “Thinks”. I don’t like him, and I never voted for him. However, I do understand what a tariff is meant to do.
A tariff isn’t meant to be paid. The whole point is to encourage people not to pay the tariff. Historically, tariffs originated as a means to stifle economic competition from other nations by raising the price of imported goods beyond what the average consumer was willing or able to pay. By comparison, domestic goods would be cheaper and a more viable option for the majority of the citizenry. When more domestic goods are sold, more jobs and wealth are created at home. At least, that’s the idea. When domestic resources (such as iron, aluminum, and oil) are abundant, the concept can work well in practice. However, once domestic resources have been depleted, a tariff can cause more harm than good. That’s because resources have to be imported just to support domestic manufacturing. This is the situation that occurred in the 1960s. More and more businesses had to import basic resources. As they did so, they discovered that moving production overseas was a more economically viable solution. It wasn’t just about cheaper labor and lower taxes. If you need oil, iron, rubber aluminum, copper, tin, lead, and silica as basic resources to create just one product, that’s a lot of import taxes to pay on what are essential business goods. When inflation began rising due to the cost of the Vietnam War (and later with the Oil Embargo), American businesses looked for ways to keep prices reasonably low. Paying a tariff on a finished product was more viable than paying tariffs on every item used to build that product. That meant moving production overseas — which is what happened (we call it Deindustrialization). Of course, once businesses began enjoying cheaper labor and lower taxes too, they didn’t want to give up that profit-producing trifecta. Thus, as Bruce Springsteen sang, “…these jobs are goin’, boy, and they ain’t comin’ back.” Businesses then began lobbying to lower tariffs on two fronts. Those that remained in the U.S. wanted a cheaper way to import resources. Those that moved production overseas wanted a cheaper way to import the product so they could preserve brand dominance in the American market. Of course, as tariffs were lowered, American products began seeing more foreign competition in the American markets. This is when brands like Toyota, Datsun (now Nissan), Subaru, and Sony began gaining ground in the U.S. Meanwhile, major brands like Philips, RCA, Pioneer, Firestone, AT&T, and Nike began moving their production overseas during the 1970s and 1980s.

Any idea which coin could become the next Bitcoin or Eth in the next 10 years?
Bitcoin's Price History$ 🤑🤑🤑 2009–2015 Bitcoin had a price of zero when it was introduced in 2009. Its price jumped from its long-held level of $0.10 to $0.20 on Oct. 26, 2010. Before the year had closed out, it had reached $0.30. In 2011, it started growing past $1, reaching a peak of $29.60 on June 8, 2011; however, a sharp recession in cryptocurrency markets followed, and $BTC coin's price dropped, closing the year at about $5.
2016–2020 Prices slowly climbed through 2016 to over $900 by the end of the year. In 2017, Bitcoin's price hovered around $1,000 until it broke $2,000 in mid-May and then skyrocketed to close at $19,188 on Dec. 16.2 Mainstream investors, governments, economists, and scientists took notice, and other entities began developing cryptocurrencies to compete with Bitcoin. Bitcoin's price moved sideways in 2018 and 2019, with small bursts of activity. For example, there was a resurgence in price and trading volume in June 2019, with the price surpassing $10,000. However, it fell to a closing price of $6,612 by mid-December. In 2020, the economy shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bitcoin's price burst into action once again. The cryptocurrency opened the year at $7,161. The pandemic shutdown and subsequent government policies fed investors' fears about the global economy and accelerated Bitcoin's rise. At the close on Nov. 23, Bitcoin was trading for $18,383. Bitcoin's price closed at $28,993 on Dec. 31, 2020, increasing 416% from the start of that year. 2021–2023 Bitcoin took less than a month in 2021 to smash its 2020 price record, surpassing $40,000 by Jan. 7, 2021. By mid-April, Bitcoin prices reached new all-time highs of over $60,000 as Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, went public. Institutional interest propelled its price further upward, and Bitcoin reached a peak of $64,895 on April 14, 2021.2 By the summer of 2021, however, prices were down by 50%, closing at $30,829 on July 19. September saw another bull run, with BTC scraping $52,956, but a large drawdown took it to a closing price of $40,597 about two weeks later.2 On Nov. 10, 2021, Bitcoin again reached an all-time high of $69,000 before closing at $64,921. In mid-December 2021, Bitcoin fell to a close of $46,211. The price started fluctuating more as uncertainty about inflation and the emergence of a new variant of COVID-19, Omicron, continued to spook investors.2 Between January and May 2022, Bitcoin's price continued to gradually decline, with closing prices only reaching $47,459 by the end of March before falling further to $29,000 on May 11. This was the first time since July 2021 that Bitcoin closed under $30,000. On June 13, crypto prices plunged, dropping below $23,000 for the first time since Dec. 2020. By the end of 2022, it was under $20,000.3 Fortunes changed in 2023 as Bitcoin opened the year at a price of $16,530. It rose consistently throughout 2023, ending the year at $42,258.2 Bitcoin Prices 2024 In January 2024, the long fight for Bitcoin Spot ETFs came to a close after the SEC was forced by courts to review its denial of certain Bitcoin-related investment products. Some brokerages swarmed the market and increased their holdings, while others, like Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), experienced significant outflows at the onset. The outflows from certain funds slowed going into March, somewhat settling the market. The market-wide rebalancing was likely because there were suddenly more options for investors to choose from. Early 2024 Bitcoin's price climbed quickly after the fund approvals—in late February and early March, it once again breached $60,000, setting a high of $69,210 on March 6 and another of $70,184 on March 8. On March 1, Bitcoin continued setting records, reaching $73,835 on Coinbase. Mid 2024 On April 19, 2024, Bitcoin had its fourth and latest halving event, reducing the reward for a mined block from 6.25 $BTC to 3.25 $BTC . The cryptocurrency recorded a modest gain that day and closed at $63,821. On September 18, 2024, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced its first rate cut since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, lowering the target federal funds rate to 4.75%-5%. Predictably, the market had a positive reaction, with gains across major indices. Bitcoin also continued its trend of "mimicking" the stock market and, on Sep. 19, 2024, traded around $64,000, sharply higher than its price of about $60,000 just two days prior. Late 2024 On Nov. 7, 2024, Bitcoin's price hit another all-time high of $76,999 on Coinbase following Donald Trump's re-election as President before closing at $75,820, a 9% increase from the closing price on Nov. 5. On Nov. 10, 2024, Bitcoin reached another milestone, crossing the $80,000 threshold on Crypto.com ($80,152.38). On Nov. 11, it continued pushing boundaries, and on the morning of Nov. 13, it made it past $91,000 ($91,203.83) on Coinbase. Market exuberance was unfaltering in the following weeks, pushing Bitcoin to unbelievable highs of $99,637 on Oanda, $99,543 on Coinbase, and $99,555 on Gemini on Nov. 22, 2024, by mid-day.456 At about 3 p.m. ET, Bitcoin broke through $100,000 on a European exchange, Whitebit, and closed at $99,513.13.7 These significant increases are due to investor exuberance following Trump's many promises on the campaign trail, such as replacing Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler, making America "the crypto capital of the world," and creating a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve," among others. Early 2025
In January 2025, Bitcoin experienced a somewhat lateral market, even after the announcement that Microstrategy purchased $1.1 billion BTC on January 21. That day, prices rose to a high of $109,993 on Whitebit before settling to close at $106,749 on Whitebit on January 22.
Hey, I'm not trying to be political or negative—just sharing some thoughts. I’ve been in crypto for a while, so when $TRUMP
coin shot up massively, I wasn’t completely surprised. Is it good? Is it bad? I’m not sure. But based on past patterns, it’s likely to follow the same trend as other cryptos that have surged quickly in a short period of time. My guess is that it’ll start to correct itself right before the inauguration. Smart players will probably cash out and take profits, which will cause the price to dip a bit. Then, more people will panic and follow suit, leading to further price drops. Eventually, even more people might sell, either locking in profits or cutting losses. There will be some who stick it out, but they'll end up holding the bag of this meme coin. Just a reminder: Nothing goes up forever.
