Why Crypto Will Survive Trump’s “Shock and Awe” Trade War

Why Crypto Will Survive Trump’s “Shock and Awe” Trade War

I first recommended bitcoin in 2016.

I want you to think of all the market events we’ve been through since then. All the conflicts, crises, collapses, crashes and panics.

• The pandemic outbreak and Brexit in 2020.

• The Russian invasion of Ukraine and FTX collapse in 2022.

• Record high inflation and the Israel-Hamas conflict in 2023.

• The unwinding of the yen carry trade in 2024.

During each crisis, bitcoin crashed – sometimes as much as 63%. After each crisis, bitcoin rallied to all-time new highs.

Through all these ups and downs, bitcoin is up 19,662% since I recommended it nearly a decade ago.

Why?

Because outside of the collapse of the FTX exchange in 2022, none of those events had anything to do with bitcoin.

Zilch. Nada.

Yet, when the spaghetti hit the fan and the broad markets panicked, bitcoin sold off, too.

If you’re a long-time reader, you probably know the answer to this dilemma.

If you’re new to crypto, I’ll explain why President Trump’s recent “shock and awe” tariff campaign is just a temporary setback to bitcoin’s long-term ascendancy.
