So, you thought Bitcoin was the ultimate “everyone’s equal” kind of network? Well, let me burst that bubble for you. While Bitcoin is often hailed as a decentralized utopia, where miners from every corner of the Earth band together in harmony, the reality looks more like a few giant tech companies with a side of global politics. Surprise!
Bitcoin Mining: The Not So Global Party
Turns out, Bitcoin mining isn’t the free-for-all you imagined. Analyst Lucky, who probably spent way too much time on X (formerly Twitter), dropped some truth bombs: while the network is technically open to all, guess where most of the mining power is concentrated? You guessed it: a tiny handful of countries.
About 68% of Bitcoin’s mining power is hoarded by just three major countries: the United States, China, and Russia. Not exactly the diverse, inclusive club we were promised, right? Why? Because money talks. It’s all about infrastructure, cheap energy, and, of course, government policy.
Take the U.S., for instance. Thanks to institutional mining operations and a cozy relationship with capital markets (hello, Texas), it’s become the big player in the game. China, despite trying to ban crypto mining, still somehow manages to sneak in through underground operations, powered by cheap hydro and coal energy. Russia? Oh, they’re just chilling with cheap electricity and chilly weather, where they don’t even need to pay for AC.
So yeah, there’s decentralization, but the whole thing is shaped by a not-so-subtle combination of politics, energy resources, and big-money interests. Follow the hashpower, and you’ll see who really runs the show.
Tariff Drama: How Trump’s Latest Move Could Shake Bitcoin and Risk Assets
Oh, and if you thought that was wild, let’s talk tariffs. Yes, former President Donald Trump is back with a vengeance, and his new plan is to slap a 25% tariff on goods made with imported steel and aluminum. No biggie, right? Well, investor Sjuul AltCryptoGems (seriously, who names themselves that?) is pointing out that in the past, Bitcoin and the broader crypto market didn’t take too kindly to Trump’s tariff antics.
Now, throw in a little war uncertainty and bam, you’ve got yourself some volatility. Sjuul warned that if these tariff plans escalate into an all-out conflict, financial markets will be on a rollercoaster. And Bitcoin? Oh, it’s going to ride that wave straight down.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin whales (those mysterious crypto-rich folks) were busy pushing prices down, making sure BTC wouldn’t break that sweet $70,000 mark. And of course, as tensions with Iran bubbled up, these whales used it as an excuse to make even more moves-like triggering a liquidation frenzy. Fun, right?
In the end, 185,806 traders got caught in the wreckage, losing a solid $406.52 million. So, no, this wasn’t just some random “oops” moment. It was a calculated move, where 100x leveraged Degen longs (those poor souls) were left picking up the pieces. Meanwhile, short leverage is building above $69,000, because, well, why not? The market loves a little drama.
