Crypto Capitalism: An Asymmetric Wealth Opportunity

Since Trump’s rise to power, the crypto market has essentially become a “policy-driven market” in the U.S. In the past few days, Bitcoin’s price has been fluctuating wildly based on Trump’s words and actions — soaring as high as $95,000 and nearly dropping below $80,000.

Such extreme volatility inevitably puts investors on edge. Some may find excitement in the adrenaline rush of short-term speculation, while others may be gripped by anxiety, fearing that their assets could shrink overnight. However, as we will explore in depth, these seemingly erratic price swings are actually the most vivid and authentic reflection of “crypto capitalism” — a new economic phenomenon shaping the digital age.

Cryptocurrencies are not just a technological innovation; they serve as a digital mirror reflecting human nature, where greed and fear intertwine. Each price fluctuation is like a ripple in this mirror, revealing the complex and delicate psychology of market participants.

Research shows that this indicator has accurately predicted every economic turning point over the past 14 years.
