Jerome Powell firmly rejects Bitcoin holdings, dismissing Trump’s Strategic Reserve promise.

Jerome Powell has left no room for speculation: the Federal Reserve will not hold Bitcoin. Despite President-elect Donald Trump's promises to crypto enthusiasts about a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, Powell dismissed the idea outright during a press conference following the December 18th FOMC...

It is a fact though that the stock market dropped 1100 points. It will keep doing down if the Govt shuts down and will absolutely plummet if we default on the debt.

Several things that caused that.
Profit taking ...
End of year tax harvesting (on losses), and upcoming tax season.
Inflation reports continue to suck under the current administration.

Oh they still gonna try to put all the power in the executive branch. Trump only really cares about his revenge tour going after everyone that held him accountable. As long as he can do that he doesn't care what policies "he" puts in place.

This is the way for the “broship” to likely end, I just think it’s going to take longer than many think (have already set my expectations at 6 months beginning January, so it might be longer than that). Trump won’t like it looking as if Elon is calling the shots, and it does here with him being the first to call for the CR to not happen.

Thing that’s funny is that Trump is mentioning something that I think is a non starter in this dead duck (edit: and that Elon doesn't necessarily agree with either, so they're not aligned...why am I doing these posts early in the morning). He’s calling for the debt limit to be extended or waived forever. No dude, you’re going to be stuck fighting the Freedom Caucus on this yourself most likely unless they agree to it being waived forever (I’d say it’s more likely he starts off his second term with a shutdown) and it’s going to be a headache since they’ve told him to stick it before.

Remember when Trump was president the first time and the GOP raised the debt ceiling 3 times without any demands on cutting spending and with tons of pork on the bills...they need to STFU.

So do the DemoncRATs with their fear and gaslighting. I have posted about this in the different iterations of this forum. Time for change no matter how difficult it may be because this current path is not sustainable and all we do is kick the default can down the road. Time to have a true balanced budget again.

The only default we may have is if the Republicans do not raise the debt ceiling. Our spending will not cause one anytime soon. Hopefully the country can survive until 2026 when we take Congress back.
