Trump’s Trade Tango: Bitcoin Takes a Wild Ride to $81k! 💸😏

On a whimsical Wednesday, President Donald Trump, that unpredictable jester of the political realm, decided to “authorize” a delightful little jig of “substantially lowered” tariffs that rippled across the globe, igniting Bitcoin and stocks into a frenzied pirouette back to life.

From the digital amphitheater known as Truth Social, Trump grandiosely proclaimed that a veritable cavalcade of over 75 nations had summoned the American trade titans for a tête-à-tête, all in the wake of his previous tariff tantrum. How diplomatic! 🕺
In an epistolary feat, he slashed tariffs down to a darling 10%, effective immediately. “Thanks for your riveting interest in this matter,” he quipped, basking in the glow of his own verbal pyrotechnics.
The ever-courageous Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick revealed, as if unraveling some grand mystery, that he had huddled with Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent while this genius tweet was born. “The world is dying to collaborate with our dear President on fixing global trade—though China, in a fit of defiance, appears to have taken a different exit,” he tweeted, undoubtedly feeling quite clever.
Ah, China! Their tariffs remain stratospheric—now at a staggering 125%—as a punishment for what Trump laments as their “lack of respect” for the swirling miasma of global markets. As if the trade world were a delicate ballet, and China, well, decided to breakdance in a tutu instead.
In the afterglow of such proclamations, Bitcoin, that mercurial creature, leaped from a mere $77,000 to a dazzling $81,900 as we speak. A breathtaking ascent, indeed!
According to the oracle Coinglass, an astonishing $169 million in shorts were incinerated in an hour—a lovely bonfire of fortunes lost, courtesy of some dizzying market pirouettes.
