I get the feeling that Trump really does want to unwind the damage caused by the US meddling in the affairs of foreign countries for the last 70 years or so.
That goes against the nature of this colony and Trump's behavior also suggests the exact opposite.
As far as manipulating coin prices to cover any debts is concerned, there's no way that's possible.
Budget deficit is different from the national debt.
But attributing market fluctuations solely to government intervention oversimplifies things. The market’s natural cycles, whales, and institutional trading all play major roles. If manipulation is happening, it’s not just politics—it’s big money games.
That's true and the government can ride the waves and
amplify them since they control the media and public opinion. That would be the market manipulation. We have a handful of obvious examples as well. Like Elon Musk that I've already mentioned in this topic. Another example is the corrupt CEO of one of the most corrupt banking systems Jamie Dimon calling bitcoin "fraud" back in 2017 when one of the biggest crashes/corrections was happening. Later we found out one of the companies linked to JPMorgan was buying bitcoin at the bottom in a dip that was amplified by the FUD their CEO spread in the mainstream media perfectly timing it to align with the correction!
The bigger question is: If crypto is truly decentralized, can any government really control it, or is this just another layer of market psychology at play?
Bitcoin is decentralized and nobody can control it but its market is somewhat centralized and can be influenced.
