Owning Crypto during Trump’s Reign is the #1 Blunder to avoid!

Owning Crypto during Trump’s Reign (2025-2029) seems like something that everyone is suggesting these days. Especially with how much Bitcoin has exploded over the last 10 years. Even the US Treasury now holds Bitcoin, and there’s talk of increasing the amounts held. But before you invest, I want you to read some very important information I recently found…

Owning Crypto during Trump’s Reign

Written by Dave Troy

The Trump/Vance administration has the potential to unleash widespread economic harm, many of which are not on peoples’ radar. This article about Owning Crypto during Trump’s Reign is not financial advice nor am I a financial advisor. I am an analyst of history and warfare, and this is an analysis of current warfare operations and why I believe you should not be Owning Crypto during Trump’s Reign.

1. We assess that the Presidency has been captured by Vladimir Putin. Until we see proof otherwise, assume that Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and JD Vance are proxies for Putin, Xi, and their allies. China backs Russia fully.^[1]
2. Russia’s strategic goal is to dismantle the United States. They will pursue this through creating internal turmoil and dysfunction^[2], trying to destroy the dollar^[3] and by “ending” the Federal Reserve^[4]. In addition, they have been backing secession efforts in multiple states (California, Texas, Alaska).
3. Russia believes that democracy doesn’t work.^[5] Because they think democracies don’t work, they believe they can be defeated and captured. The United States is the biggest prize. Canada and Europe are also targets.
4. Cryptocurrency products are likely to drive market instability. New proposals to eliminate capital gains tax on memecoins and other US-based crypto products may have a corrosive effect on equities markets.
5. Bitcoin is a weapon.^[6] Bitcoin sets up a zero-sum game between holders and non-holders, enhancing holders’ purchasing power while eroding the dollar and the purchasing power of non-holders. People who do not hold Bitcoin (or derivatives) will be impoverished at the expense of people who do. It is impossible to hedge by buying Bitcoin without eroding the value of dollar holdings. Importantly, Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme that harms non-participants — i.e. it’s not enough to avoid it, and you can’t just ignore it.^[7] It must be destroyed, as 19th century Wildcat Banking was taxed out of existence. Republicans are now promoting Bitcoin, and the creation of a “U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” which is intended to set off a vicious cycle that will spike the price of Bitcoin while undermining the dollar. Some Republicans favor government exposure to Bitcoin, while others appear to be advocating for the adoption of XRP, a rival. This situation is in flux.
6. Christian Nationalists also believe the dollar and the Fed must be destroyed.^[8] Elon Musk has indicated he would bring Ron Paul into his government efficiency effort. Ron Paul and Gary North created the “North/Paul” strategy decades ago with the express intent of crashing the US economy, killing the dollar, and replacing it with gold-backed money. Such plans are also compatible with Project 2025, and various crypto schemes.^[9] Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) also introduced the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act in May 2024 to “End the Fed.” The same approach is also echoed by Sergey Glazyev, architect of the BRICS currency plan^[10]. Steve Bannon has also endorsed the same plan.^[11]

Immediate Financial Risks

1. New executive orders introduce uncertainty. In its first week, the Trump administration has already begun issuing executive orders pausing the flow of federal dollars as well as radically reshaping the federal workforce. The economic implications of these changes are unknown, but are unlikely to be positive; they are effectively an anti-stimulus package.
2. A new federal budget must be passed by March 14, 2025. If a budget agreement cannot be reached by March 14, the US federal government will shut down until such time as some resolution is reached.
3. Musk and Johnson may propose massive cuts to the budget. Musk has been talking about imposing $2 Trillion in cuts to the ~$6 Trillion budget. Only 26% of the budget (about $1.6 Trillion) is discretionary spending. So Musk is talking about eliminating over 100% of the discretionary budget — all of it, and then some. The status of Musk’s DOGE efforts is not yet clear.
4. The risk of US debt default may be used as leverage to extract draconian cuts. If no budget is passed and/or the debt ceiling is not increased, the US may default on its debt, which would trigger a ~$15 Trillion global economic meltdown. Even flirting with default may trigger a downgrade of US creditworthiness, increasing interest costs and accelerating a crisis.
5. Establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve may trigger additional instability. Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has proposed the creation of a “strategic Bitcoin reserve,” directing US treasury funds into Bitcoin. This will cause a Bitcoin price hike, enrich speculators, while simultaneously undermining equities and the dollar. Owning Crypto during Trump’s Reign should not happen.

Expected Timeline for 2025

The most dangerous period will be the first six months of 2025, which is when the budget and debt ceiling issues must be addressed. The government has enacted “extraordinary measures” as of January 21, 2025, to limit cash expenditures. This will allow the government several months to try to raise the debt ceiling. A new federal budget must be authorized by March 14, 2025. The “X-Date,” the actual date of default, is likely to be in the spring of 2025. In the event that no resolution is reached to raise or eliminate the debt ceiling, default will likely occur around May 2025, triggering a global asset meltdown.

Potential Mitigatory and Defensive Measures

1. Diversify holdings. Given the threat landscape, it is difficult to know what might happen. A diversified portfolio is a good defense, including bonds, real estate, and some gold and silver ETF’s. Use caution not to incur tax costs while rebalancing; use tax advantaged accounts where appropriate to shift allocations. Share these concerns with your financial advisors.
2. Do not hedge with Owning Crypto during Trump’s Reign. While this might be tempting, it is important to understand that Bitcoin and “real economy” assets are opposed in a zero-sum game. Every asset in Bitcoin harms all your other assets, while helping speculators.
3. Contact your representatives. Defeating Putin and his allies requires that traditional conservative Republicans break with the House Freedom Caucus and any extremist allies. Help your representatives understand these risks. Many simply do not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Should I move to another country?
A: Financially speaking, it probably won’t help, and you’ll incur expenses.

Q: Trump has said he will impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. Is this something to worry about?
A: We’re still waiting to see how this plays out; he may be using this as a strategy to get leverage over these countries. Debt default and attacks on the dollar are likely to be far more damaging, but if tariffs are imposed, that will only amplify all other harms.

Q: Is Social Security safe?
A: Perhaps not, if budgets are slashed. But killing it will require overcoming significant political inertia. Contact your representatives.

Q: Will the banking system hold up?
A: Probably. But consider spreading funds across multiple banks. FDIC, which typically insures up to $250,000 per bank, may also be at risk.

Q: Should I invest in other currencies besides the dollar?
A: Other popular currencies have dependencies on the dollar and will be subject to shocks as well. Given the dollar’s historic strength, it probably doesn’t make sense to incur costs to pursue such a strategy. Ask your financial advisor.

Q: Is there any reason to hold paper cash or physical gold (or other metals)?
A: Ask your financial advisor, but unless you have means to secure such things well, the risks probably outweigh any benefits.

Q: How will this get resolved?
A: When mainstream Republicans realize their party has been captured by a hostile foreign power, that their financial security is at grave risk, and they take action to deal with that fact. Help them understand that’s what’s happened.

Q: Why does Russia want to attack the dollar? And why are Republicans helping them?
A: Russia hates the dollar because it is at the core of American hegemony. They also seek revenge for the collapse of the USSR, which they believe was caused by attacks on the Ruble. Many Republicans hate the Federal Reserve and fiat currency. They prefer the gold standard, which is also aligned with Putin’s BRICS currency effort.

Q: Is “the Fed” the same as FDIC?
A: No. “The Fed” is the Federal Reserve Bank system, which manages interest rates and the dollar under Congressional authority, with a dual mandate to minimize both inflation and unemployment. The FDIC is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures bank deposits. It is also at risk, but they are not the same.

TL;DR

Essentially what Dave Troy is saying, is to avoid owning any crypto at this point, because it seems like the plan for Trump and Vance is to throw the Fed into an ecnomic chaos. The only people crypto will currently benefit, is investors of Bitcoin- who are already rich in this sense. There’s a chance that the Trump andMusk will try to remove the Fed, and replace the US Dollar with Bitcoin, though some are pushing for XRP. He suggests that buying crypto at this point is on;y enrichining investorsand is also devaluing the US Dollar which is another reason Owning Crypto during Trump’s Reign can be foolhardy.

However – if you still want to invest in Crypto, just to use as a stop-gap, I would recommend looking into XRP, Feathercoin, Litecoin, or Ethereum. As a crypto user (and speculator over the years), I have found these coins to be the better choice. DO NOT invest in Doge – it’s a scam. I cannot support Owning Crypto during Trump’s Reign.  I do  recommend Public to use as an exchange, rather than other exchanges out there. I have used many exchanges over the years, but one of the main ones, Crypto.com is much more expensive to invest and divest with.
