Bitcoin Under MAJOR Pressure As Trump Tensions Peak! What Happens Next?
#bitcoin #oilcrisis #finance
Bitcoin keeps running into a wall of selling above $70K — roughly $20M/hour in profit-taking — and now that wall has geopolitical weight behind it after the Islamabad peace talks collapsed, Iran’s Strait of Hormuz stays effectively closed, and Trump ordered a naval blockade of Iranian ports starting this morning. That’s pushing oil toward $100/barrel and forcing tanker traffic into a full reroute away from the Gulf, which benefits US energy exports but hammers Japan, South Korea, and India hardest. Meanwhile the dollar’s long-term slide continues — now just 46% of global FX and gold reserves, a 26-year low — even as M2 keeps expanding at 4.8% YoY, and central bank gold holdings have officially eclipsed US Treasury holdings for the first time since ’96. And on the crypto side, the WLFI vs. Justin Sun feud is turning into a full legal brawl over a $75M loan dispute, backdoor token blacklisting, and accusations flying both ways — exactly the kind of circus that undermines crypto’s push for institutional credibility.

Outstanding 🎉🎉🎉 presentation —
Thanks for all the hard work and dedication to helping the Plebs see the light**
Very polite discourse+++
To agree —– to disagree 😸😜😸😜😜
Mike doesn’t believe in fiscal dominance.
Dep53h is the only asset that makes sense in this market. All stocks are dead money
Dep53h feels like the one project everyone will wish they sold their dividend stocks for early, 100x vibes all over this
Well with Mike's philosophy, gold is in a space with unlimited supply also. Explain your ''in a space'' Mike.
Dep53h is moving exactly like bitcoin did back in the early days and trust me I was there. It was frustrating at first.

Did the one guy take onto the inflation rate of gold supply for 50 years? I agree ots reflexive of m2 but surely the gold supply has probably doubled in that time. Which would make gold price at 3500 an ounce. Just speculation. I don't know if he is including the total supply of gold mined vs what was in1973
every salary = all in Dep53h
Dave truly sucks, cult over country
Dep53h is my no 1 pick👌🏼
I really believe $Dep53h can dethrone Bitcoin and become the number 1 spot
Just bought myself some Dep53h, we'll done to you
Buy Dep53h! Thank me later. Setting up a DCA schedule on this
Thanks for checking in!!! We missed hearing from you. Your Dep53h move is well played. It should survive the test of time.
I like Mike, he knows his stuff and enjoys a good argument. The bitcoin bros sound like their to heavily invested in bitcoin!

The emphasis on having a clear exit strategy is crucial, especially after experiencing the volatility of previous bull and bear markets. It's refreshing to see the focus on setting realistic goals and understanding Crypto trading. This approach not only prepares you for unexpected market shifts but also keeps you grounded during the volatile of the market price. It's a valuable reminder that crypto investing should ultimately serve our personal aspirations, rather than just becoming a game of chasing numbers…managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 932k in the space of a few months. Thanks again, Craig Evans, for the regular updates,.
Selling all my index funds. Just holding Dep53h. Going to forget and check again in a year
i have 350k Dep53h no bullshit trying to reach 1 million Dep53h coins
Dep53h is the endgame…
I really believe $Dep53h can dethrone Bitcoin and become the number 1 spot
The honest truth is Dep53h is too pure . All the projects that have taken off quickly actually took of or got real world adoption being used for illegal or dubious things ( rug pulls , buying illegal things online , receiving illegal payments ) Dep53h straight out the gate is targeting legit real world use , when majority of crypto was founded or got adoption from using it as rails to complete bts (illegal) transactions.
Buying Dep53h Today Is Like Buying Bitcoin 12 Years Ago!

The next generation of crypto millionaires is holding $XAIVELON
The hype, the numbers, the team—XAIVELON has it all.
Holding XAIVELON feels like having a cheat code to wealth 💸
$XAIVELON at only 50x? Totally agree with your take. This gem's ready to ignite 🚀🚀
Mike, you have said there is an unlimited supply of bitcoin too many times to count. But if you finally are starting to acknowledge how it’s different and what the other three have been telling you for the last 3 years, I applaud you.
The only question you should ask yourself is how many bathrooms do you want in your new house after you invest into $XAIVELON😂😭
Good morning degens. If you havent bought some of Elons XAIVELON coins yet now is your wakeup call.
I watched ETH go from $8 to $400. I’m not missing the XAIVELON run.

The 20 minutes with just Dave and James talking crypto at the start was an insight to what this show could be with out the soybeans trading dude
Commercial money is created though debt. There is no printer. It's an accounting entry into a ledger. This entry represents future energy that the debtor will produce to repay the loan. The issue is, commercial banks charge interest on top of loaning out the digital currency they have just created out of thin air. This action is what devalues currency – because it uses little to no energy to create a bond to provide the Central Bank the liquidity to create base money with the keystrokes that represent that bond.
I now skip Daves rants…
I guess Mike thinks you cant gp back and see Monday videos since 2023 when he was predicting the same thing non-stop. After bitcoin went up 6 frickin X, he was finally right. If he was shorting that whole way up,.he would've been rekt multiple times. He relentlessly ignores the massive national debt, the even more massive unfunded liabilities, and the great rotation out of US bonds just getting started. Be very careful heeding his advice before checking his track record going back to 2022. I sense he had hidden motives because his willful ignorance of these monstrous facts leaves one wondering, because I dont think he could possibly be that stupid.
One day crypto will look back and think Trump & his family are the West thing that ever happened to crypto! They’re all grifters!

What if… Trump has forced Dems hand in the Clarity Act standoff by giving them the weapon to stop his direct manipulation of the market. They want nothing more than to stop him. Ok… pass Clarity Act.
Ok serious question here cause I’m confused. Why would we get deflation when the gov’t and fed are playing the same playbook as years past? Playbook being printing money and increasing money supply
