Bitcoin and the US Election: Stop Oversimplifying đ
I keep seeing these ideas floating around:
⢠US elections make Bitcoin pump.
⢠Bitcoin always pumps x days after a U.S. election
⢠Or my favorite: If Trump wins, Bitcoin will go to [enter your preferred 6-digit amount here đ].
New president, and suddenly Bitcoin takes off.
Letâs cut through the noiseâthatâs nonsense.
Sure, Bitcoin has gone up after recent electionsâno doubt. I am aware of the charts.
But saying the election caused it? Thatâs a huge oversimplification. Hereâs whatâs really going on.
Let's have a look at the situation in the years of the last elections:
⢠2012: The world was recovering from a financial meltdown. Markets were rebounding, driven by real economic recoveryânot just because someone new was in the White House.
⢠2016: Central banks flooded the market with cash as Chinaâs growth slowed. The election was just another event in a much larger economic context.
⢠2020: The pandemic led to massive stimulus efforts. Thatâs what drove the markets, not who won the presidency.
Each time, major economic forces were at play. The election might have coincided with Bitcoinâs rise, but letâs be realâit wasnât the driving factor.
So what does this mean for Bitcoin?
It means stop thinking a single election (or a particular president) will make or break Bitcoin.
The real drivers are economic fundamentals, which are much more complex than âelection equals price pump.â
History shows that the election is just one small piece of the puzzle, even in a market crisis.
Letâs stop with the oversimplifications. Focus on what really moves the marketâfiscal policy, global trends, and solid economic analysis.
Thatâs where the truth lies, not in election hype.
