  1. Yeah everybody still stroking BTC and Eth until it starts trying to handle the job. Too slow and too expensive. Swap to XAI94K and never look back💰🧠

  2. I was a surgeon for 40 years. The only way this is similar to surgery is that the patient died on the table, after bleeding profusely

  3. The whipsaw today was because insider information said tariffs on pause but I couldn't find a public news article on it.
    This time the insider trading cost those money.

  4. It’s Musk who is applying his crypto manipulation tactics to the stock market now. Don’t sell—just wait and be ready to buy as soon as the tariffs are reversed. That will be the signal that Trump and Musk have taken long positions, and the bull run is about to begin.

  5. As a European, I have a simple solution: boycott of American goods and corporations stating with most common such as Amazon, Nike, Tesla, and General Motors (GMC). By redirecting consumer spending toward local and alternative markets, we can pressure the U.S. and give Trump the Medicine he needs😅

  6. This is excellent. The market will stabilize as it always has. If the world is upset they have free will to act. Keep up the good work president Trump.
