TD₿: Inside the Trump Pump & Dump and What it Means for Bitcoin - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: Trump’s U.S. Bitcoin reserve announcement sent Bitcoin soaring to $95K before a brutal crash erased billions. Even Peter Schiff push for a Bitcoin-only reserve, while POTUS includes shitcoins!
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today’s video, we cover Trump’s post on a U.S. crypto reserve sent Bitcoin surging to $95K, only to crash shortly after, wiping out billions. Market uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and new tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico added to the sell-off. Critics, including Peter Schiff, Brian Armstrong, and Michael Saylor, argue that Bitcoin should be the sole reserve asset, questioning why Trump included XRP, SOL, and ADA—raising suspicions of donor-driven motives.
Meanwhile, mass liquidations wiped out both short and long positions as market volatility surged. Support for a Bitcoin-only reserve is growing, even from unlikely figures, as critics question Trump’s inclusion of XRP, SOL, and ADA.
