Saw some big news this morning: the "Fed mouthpiece" leaked that Trump is quietly meeting with candidates for the next Fed chair, and the nomination could be announced before Christmas.
Even though he says "I've already made up my mind," it's obvious he's still torn. The two frontrunners are his old pal Hassett and former governor Warsh. Honestly, who he picks is secondary—the key point is that the new chair will almost certainly be more in sync with the White House.
So what does this have to do with us crypto holders? Think about it: if we get a more cooperative chair, will next year's rate cuts be bigger? If the liquidity tap opens, won't BTC and the major coins take off? Looking at past markets, every time there's an expectation of looser liquidity, crypto assets usually get hyped up first.
Of course, nothing is confirmed yet, and there are plenty of variables. Trump loves to change his mind at the last minute, so nobody can say for sure right now. So don't go all-in on impulse.
Here's how I think you should play it:
Hold your core positions—stick with major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and don't get scared out by short-term volatility;
Keep some cash on hand—if there's a brief pullback after the official announcement, you can buy the dip in batches;
Don't chase those altcoins pumped by rumors—the risk is too high.
In short: Big events are coming, so keep a clear head. Hold onto your spot positions and wait for the winds to pick up. When the new chair is officially named, a new round of market action might quietly kick off.

Hassett or Wosh, anyway both are working for Trump, and in the end, the beneficiaries are the crypto circle.
To put it simply, once the expectation of interest rate cuts is confirmed, retail investors need to wake up and stop getting chopped.
Brothers going all in, just wait to be cut in half, I really don’t understand this move.
It's another "big event coming," I don’t believe you, first secure your principal before bragging.
Liquidity injection? Looks exciting, right? Be careful not to get wiped out by a sharp sell-off.

Seriously, it's the same old Trump playbook—when they say it's uncertain, it really is uncertain. Retail investors like us can only react passively.
If rates actually get cut this time and BTC doesn't pump, I'll eat shit upside down. But anyone going all-in now is just being foolish. Better to wait for the official announcement.
To put it simply: stick to mainstream coins, keep some cash ready, and don't touch shitcoins. Sounds easy, but few can actually stick to it in practice. That's all I have to say.

Hey, it's the same old Trump trick again. Is it real this time?
The rate cut expectations have been hyped for so long, the crypto market has already priced it in, right?
Just hold onto BTC, don't mess around.

Trump is playing mind games again, this time targeting the Fed Chairman, haha.
Alright, every time rate cut expectations come up, the crypto market gets restless—that’s just how it goes.
But going all-in now is really foolish; it’s not too late to act after the official announcement.
Hold onto mainstream coins and keep some cash on hand—it’s that simple.

Damn, it's Trump stirring things up again. The choice of Federal Reserve chair really will affect the crypto market's pace, but I'll say it again—don't let the news lead you by the nose. Almost everyone who's all-in right now regrets it.

Damn, it's that Trump trick again. This guy just loves keeping people in suspense.
Sounds like another rate cut is coming? My wallet's been ready for a while now, haha.
Go all in? Nah, I've learned my lesson this time—it's more comfortable to keep some ammo.
It's really hard to say right now. Who knows, there might be some new shenanigans before Christmas.
BTC really needs to stay calm for now. It's not too late to celebrate after the official announcement.
