Here we go again! Trump hints that US GDP will hit 4.2%, far above the expected 2.5%, and also criticizes the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates arbitrarily, implying a loosening of monetary policy. The crypto circle immediately follows this signal, after all, loose monetary policy has always been most friendly to Bitcoin.

But there's a lot of water in this. Trump is not a savior for the crypto world; he's just very good at creating expectations. Remember? When he said "Bitcoin as a reserve asset," the market surged 6% in one day; then his family’s coin project plummeted by $150 million, leaving retail investors crying. His policy style is like that—when he’s loudest, the rain is usually the lightest, and behind the scenes, interests are driving everything. Some platforms run by his son are clearly here to profit from the industry’s red envelope.

In the short term, if the Federal Reserve is truly forced to cut rates, Bitcoin might have a chance to surge again. But the long-term risks are obvious. This guy jumps back and forth, changing policies at will. Even more dangerous is that leverage in the crypto space is everywhere now; his casual words can blow through the positions of 168,000 people. Do you really want to bet on that?

To survive, here’s what to do: watch for Trump’s signals, which often indicate big players are offloading, and don’t FOMO chasing highs. The real way to survive is to hold spot assets, avoid leverage, because policy-driven market volatility can turn high-leverage players into cannon fodder in seconds. The safest approach is to wait until policies are actually enacted into law before taking action—don’t bet on those promises still just words. Keep your principal safe now, and wait for confirmed opportunities.
