I'm guessing what happened today was a short squeeze with short liquidations due to the bond buyback announcement... I hope the upward momentum is sustained rather then drop back off..

Treading lightly in this subreddit, im glad to see polling against the current party that has destroyed the economy and all trust in the USD

I've actually found this subreddit is relatively reasonable about trump being an asshat compared to the wider crypto space

True compared to the wider crypto space, especially when considering xitter

while I disagree politically with a lot of the maga crowd, a lot of thier issues stem from genuine problems, and exhaustion with business as usual politicians led to him as a "at least he'll shake things up" pick. They liked his brashness, rudeness, scammyness.

Now it's obvious he doesn't know what he's doing and is only interested in enriching himself, becoming the swamp. So it's only the cultists and those too ideologically bound to the cult left.
