    Bitcoin is not Donald Trump.
    And, there is no place like home.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture launched by President Donald Trump and his sons last year, has a new stablecoin. The group launched the U.S. government debt-backed coin, called USD1, on March 4, but it is not currently tradable. When it is, it’ll be on the Ethereum network and the Binance Smart Chain blockchain. World Liberty said it will be audited by digital asset trust company BitGo. The announcement of the new token led scammers to fraudulently replicate the currency, leading Binance founder Changpeng Zhao to warn on X that “the official USD1 is not tradable yet.” Zhao added: “Please do not fall for the scams.” The token’s value will be underpinned by “short-term U.S. government Treasurys, U.S. dollar deposits and other cash equivalents,” the company said, according to The Wall Street Journal. Zach Witkoff, World Liberty Financial co-founder and son of Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff, was more positive in a statement.
    Nope Trump makes his own shit up out of thin air.

    The most insane thing about this timeline might be how often Putin's bootlicker can sit down with "journalists" to discuss "negotiations" without being asked about the semi-anonymous bribe scheme his son co-founded. Does he have to ask, or can he just say "My son Zach co-founded Trump's memecoin and I know President Trump thinks everyone should invest in it" and the rubles flow?

    One: Trump still can't make more BTC than any other miner.

    Two: The blurb you just referenced citing thin air states USD1 is backed by US Treasuries. Think about that for a minute.

    The US federal closure of many scientific and academic institutions, though a travesty, is a phenomenal business opportunity for privatizing and decentralizing valuable public goods and services.
    Seems like a solid dude!

    Bitcoin is down sharply on the tariff news. Actual gold is up.

    Maybe Bitcoin is not -digital gold- after all. Maybe it is just a speculative thing people bet on when they have some money to burn.

    If you keep posting stuff like this and tapping your ruby slipper heels together I'm sure you'll get your wish one day.

    Yeah. Anyway, in the real world Bitcoin has been moving very close to the perfect inverse of gold recently:

    The TGR site is on life support and attachments don't work. Sorry.

    So I'll summarize. BTC up, stonks down. But of course putting too much emphasis on the short-term price action is unwise. Yet you continue to do it.

    Makes sense! Actual assets and cashflowing businesses should tank, while the thing based on nothing should go to the MOON!!!

    We should all boycott all economy and toss our wealth into a non productive computer system!!!!

    What Nuke said.

    But also, my graph showed BTC price moving from highly correlated with the price of gold to highly anti-correlated with the price of gold, over a one year period. Not sure what short term is to you.

    But also also, gold was down today and Bitcoin up, so Bitcoin is not gold.
