Just when you thought the market could not get dumber, the last 96 hours happened. If you have been in crypto for a while, you have seen your fair share of nonsense; rug pulls, insider dumps, VC exit scams, and all that kind of stuff but what we are witnessing right now is next-level stupidity.

The entire U.S. government is openly manipulating crypto markets, using retail traders as exit liquidity while pretending this is all part of some “pro-crypto” agenda. Spoiler alert: No, it is not.

And at the center of this mess? Donald Trump, his family, and his oligarch friends are turning the market into their personal playground.

Trump, The Ultimate Market Curse

Donald Trump’s involvement in crypto is like watching a wrecking ball tear through the last remnants of a functioning market. He does not care about decentralization, innovation, or financial freedom. What this narcissist cares about is power, money, and control. And now, with his administration openly playing games with digital assets, crypto is no longer a free market. It is becoming a U.S. government-controlled casino.

Let’s break it down:

• Pump some altcoins like XRP, Solana, and Cardano under the guise of “strategic reserves” (yes, seriously).
• Create fake narratives about crypto being essential for “national security” and economic stability.
• Dump on retail investors who actually believe in these narratives.
• Repeat, while insiders and government-linked entities siphon wealth out of the space.

The fact that anyone believes this clown show is good for crypto is mind-blowing.

The “Decentralized” Lie: Retail is the Exit Liquidity

Let us be real: most cryptocurrencies are decentralized in name only. XRP? A centralized banker’s coin disguised as an “alternative” to the system. Solana? A VC-controlled chain that freezes whenever insiders need to protect their bags. Cardano? A slow-motion rug pull disguised as “peer-reviewed research.”

And now, we are supposed to believe that these are “strategic assets” for the U.S. government? This idea is so ridiculous that even Peter Schiff is turning into a Bitcoin maximalist. When the biggest gold bug in history starts saying “Maybe Bitcoin is not so bad,” you know things have gotten completely out of hand.

The Hypocrisy of the “Crypto Elite”

It is almost poetic. The same people who once called Bitcoin a scam are now knee-deep in crypto, not because they believe in decentralization but because they see it as another tool to extract wealth from the public. And the worst part? The masses eat it up.

Scroll through Twitter (or “X,” as Musk insists we call it), and you will see it: armies of brainwashed retail investors defending their billionaire overlords. People who claim to hate the “deep state” somehow have no issue with Trump and his billionaire cronies rigging the market in broad daylight. It is almost like they enjoy being scammed.

The U.S. Government’s Great Crypto Market Manipulation

Make no mistake. This is not just market manipulation. This is one of the biggest wealth transfers in financial history. The U.S. government is actively rigging the crypto markets, using taxpayer money and insider connections to extract as much value as possible before the next inevitable crash.

The people who used to call crypto a scam are now running the biggest scam of them all. They have turned a movement built on decentralization into just another Wall Street-style pump-and-dump scheme. And the worst part? Most people are too blind to see it.

Where Is Gary Gensler When You Need Him?

Never in my life did I think I would miss the SEC, but here we are. Say what you want about Gary Gensler and Biden’s war on crypto, but at least they were predictable. Now? We have a bunch of unchecked manipulators playing the market like their personal casino, and nobody seems to care.

The worst part is that this cycle won't end anytime soon. The crypto space is no longer about innovation; it is about influence. The people with the loudest voices control the market, and the dream of financial freedom is nothing more than a distant memory.

My Final Conclusion

At this point, there are only two paths left for crypto:

1. People wake up and start pushing back against this blatant corruption.

2. The market becomes a fully controlled puppet show, where retail traders exist solely to fund the next billionaire’s yacht.

Right now, we are heading straight for the second option. The only question left is: how much more are you willing to lose before you realize what is happening?

If you are tired of getting dumped on by billionaires, governments, and insiders, it is time to start making smarter moves in crypto. The game is rigged against retail, but that does not mean you can not win. You just need the right information and strategy.
