Prepare For The Next Fed Led Crash

Others are making the same warning as I about crypto currencies...Elliott Management, a prominent hedge fund managing $70 billion in assets, has issued a stark warning about a growing cryptocurrency bubble fueled by the White House's policies13. The firm cautioned investors that the Trump administration's support for cryptocurrencies is contributing to a speculative frenzy that could lead to severe economic consequences5. Key points from Elliott's warning: Cryptocurrency is described as "ground zero" for the current speculative boom in financial markets37. The bubble is seen as closely linked to the White House, with prices surging since Trump's election and his pledge to make the US a "bitcoin superpower"3. Elliott believes the inevitable burst of this bubble could cause "serious damage" in unforeseen ways35. The fund criticizes the US government for pursuing assets with "soaring prices but no real support"3. There are concerns that political support for cryptocurrencies could undermine the dollar's status as the global reserve currency5. Elliott Management argues that investors are behaving irrationally, comparing them to "a crowd of sports bettors" flocking to entirely speculative assets57. The firm emphasizes that it has "never seen a market like this," pointing to the artificial intelligence boom and high stock market valuations as additional signs of market excess3. This warning comes in the context of the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance, including recent executive orders promoting US leadership in digital assets and the establishment of a working group to evaluate a national digital asset reserve24. The contrast between Elliott's cautionary stance and the White House's embracing of cryptocurrencies highlights the ongoing debate about the role and risks of digital assets in the financial system.

Hello Jan Praskac. There is a glitch in the TM system that prevents me from replying directly to your comment below so I shall reply here. Thank you for reading and commenting. There is a strong possibility that my gains are at or near a peak for now but I shall stay with most until I get a real sense of danger. I do believe in the danger the Fed poses but I also think we will have the Trump pump working for a few more weeks still to come. Bye. James
