Trump Tariffs Spark Talk of Bitcoin Outlasting the Dollar
Ethereum Hits 5-Year Low Against Bitcoin
Bitcoin Nears Saylor’s Breakeven, But His Belief Stays Unshaken
New global tariffs by Trump stir concerns over the U.S. dollar, prompting analysts to see Bitcoin as a more resilient long-term alternative.
Today’s market reaction to tariffs is a reminder: inflation is just the tip of the iceberg. Capital faces dilution from taxes, regulation, competition, obsolescence, and unforeseen events. Bitcoin offers resilience in a world full of hidden risks.

This is very telling. He thinks China has more to lose from a trade war because they have a trade surplus, so they'd lose more money. He doesn't see the US losing more goods as being as big a problem. This might make sense if imports were frivolous, but a lot are critical capital

Dollar Decline: USD struggles despite expected strength from tariffs.

You're a nation that doesn't trust the U.S. right now.
You want to store value in something other than U.S. assets.
But you don't want to own other nations' currencies/debt/assets because they're even weaker and you expect they'll debase it.
So you could buy gold. But how

Ethereum has had ~ the same number of active addresses for the past 4 years.This isn't the "efficiency zone," I'm afraid.
This is stagnation.— Stacy Muur (@stacy_muur)
