Because I was reliably informed this was 2025, but it appears I should be expecting a new lockdown at any moment. Bitcoin has surged to its highest all-time price, Donald Trump is about to step into the White House once more,

Data shows TRUMP amassed over $19 billion in volumes over a 24-hour period, while MELANIA saw $4.5 billion exchange hands.

Bitcoin hit a record $109,241 as the US readies for pro-crypto President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. The cryptocurrency surged 5.5% amid excitement over Trump’s meme coins, despite a subsequent market decline.

"God candle," Samson Mow, a bitcoin developer who leads the Jan3 bitcoin wallet company, posted to X and referring to a sudden spike in the bitcoin price that creates a "candle" on a trading chart as the bitcoin price suddenly soared, hitting $109,400 on the Coinbase bitcoin and crypto exchange.

BTC has pulled back to $100K as Melania Trump launched her own memecoin, stalling the surge in the TRUMP token.

Bitcoin, however, is a fundamentally different, hard asset. While the mania surrounding crypto often spills over into Bitcoin’s price movements, Bitcoin itself remains largely unaffected in the long term. It continues to progress steadily, and I believe we’ll see a full recovery soon.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies recoiled after Trump's first set of policies following inauguration did not refer to this asset class.

But as his presidency approached, he also offered more specific support to the cryptocurrency market. After the launch of his own $TRUMP coin, his wife launched her own $MELANIA competitor – the combination of which led to volatility in the cryptocurrency market.

I believe the launch of TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins isn't an indictment of the crypto space but a fun way to show political support. Read my analysis.

Chainalysis reveals 94% of TRUMP and MELANIA tokens are held by 40 wallets, while retail buyers drive trading on Solana's blockchain.

The president is nobody’s idea of a technology expert, but thanks to his crypto broligarch pals, he has leveled up his grift.
