My Goodness we are now below Sun's news and rocket. What a $10,000 Pump and Dump in a day. I think its safe to say that Volatility has picked up.

And Eth is just about to my buy target under $2,000. Man, and I have some cash potentially available from an SMCI put. Gonna have to figure this out and get it done.

My goodness though we are Defintely seeing liquidity issues now. Eth below this trend line ~$2,000 and its an air pocket below. If it breaks that $1,914 ish Fib then I could easily see it moving straight down to $1,100.

Speaking to Ksenija Pavlovic McAteer of The Pavlovic Today ahead of the first-ever White House crypto summit on Friday, Lutnik said Trump—who has increasingly aligned himself with the digital asset industry—will outline his vision for Bitcoin and broader cryptocurrency regulation.

“The President definitely thinks that there’s a Bitcoin strategic reserve,” Secretary Lutnick told The Pavlovic Today on Tuesday evening. “Now, there will be the question of, how do we handle the other cryptocurrencies? And I think the model is going to be announced on Friday when we do that.”

Lutnick suggested Bitcoin would receive unique status under Trump’s plans.

“A Bitcoin strategic reserve is something the President’s interested in. He spoke about it all during the campaign trail, and I think you’re going to see it executed on Friday,” Lutnick said.

“So Bitcoin is one thing, and then the other currencies, the other crypto tokens, I think, will be treated differently—positively, but differently,” he added.

Also confirmed in later tweets:

@Gemini’s @tyler and @cameron (Winklevoss twins)
@cryptocom CEO @kris

I'm not terribly excited to hear that Michael Saylor and the WorldLibertyFinancial guy are going to be there.

There is no legitimate reason that @saylor should be seated at a White House Crypto Summit to discuss government policy. He does not represent the crypto industry (he's in fact very hostile to most of it). Nor does he represent the American people (he talks his book 100% of the time). He's a very polarizing figure and, IMO, is likely going to tarnish any respectability the Trump admin is trying to build for this endeavor.

I been a big supporter of Saylor and MSTR ever since I put 10,000 shares in a watch account < $10 share. I also own the 2x ETF and have shorted it for a profit. I think 5 years from now everything now will look cheap in the future.
 
^^ some savage comments to that tweet. Seems lots of folks are mad the executive order didn't call for the government to spend tax dollars buying BTC - as evident from the market selloff on the news.

Crypto Czar David Sacks told reporters this morning that he's not aware of any proposal on the table to remove capital gains taxes on crypto. It's not on his agenda.
