tldr:

    Bitcoin fell more than 5% to below $65,000 on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to raise global tariffs to 15%.

    The drop came as Asian equities rose in early trade, underscoring crypto’s divergence from regional stock markets amid renewed tariff uncertainty.

    1. Bitcoin is on a downtrend because it hasn’t received meaningful support from this president or elsewhere, along with the pivoting of data centers to AI. It will find any excuse to go down right now until that support kicks in.

    2. Major risk off approaching? Multiple Gray Swans arriving all at once?

      * Private credit concerns
      * Iran situation
      * AI disruption
      * AI hyperscalers narrative is bust
      * Yen carry trade risks
      * Bitcoin capitulation coming
      * Tarrifs uncertainty 2.0
      * ???

      BLACK MUNDAY!

    3. Still over 60k? If you own this crap, you better sell it asap because $hitcoin is going to zero sooner than later

    4. The market being down due to tariffs make no sense. Many tariffs from Asian countries were higher than 15%. This is a good thing wtf. I feel like the market will rebound sharply Monday

      Bitcoin was supposed to be a hedge on the dollar, like gold.  Instead, it’s more volatile cause it depends on real money to be valuable.  

    6. Why did I ever touch crypto again, I left in 2021 and my dumbass finally bit the bullet and got back in October of last year. Now I’m down 50%. Never a-fucking-gain.

    7. For some reason the president feels random tariffs on every country while trying to break up every useful alliance will benefit American business that relies on international trade
