Trump's "Chief Crypto Market Maker Road": Analysis of the Operational Logic of Political Capitalization from MEME to National Strategic Reserves

Special note: This article has too much personal feelings. Please bring them in lightweight to avoid losing control. Thank you!

White House politicians and Wall Street capital are reconstructing power relations on the chain. They have built a new, more hidden and cruel system of exploitation in the name of decentralization.

When Trump's tweets become a part of political insider trading, we have to admit an extremely ironic paradox: the decentralization of blockchain provides an excellent, hidden manipulation space for centralized power.

**1. The colonial experiment of power: Trump 's chief crypto market

maker**

When you stay up late to watch Trump's tweets, you may think you are participating in the financial revolution initiated by the commander, but the cruel reality is more likely: You may be involved in the electricity bill crowdfunding project for Mar-Lago.

Yes, Trump's coming to power is good for encryption, but just as there is no love for no reason in the world, another cost of political power bringing good news may be: power is opening the prelude to colonization of the decentralized world.

Recently, two news is actually supporting this point.

First, a few days ago, the data on the chain showed that behind the operations of LIBRA and MELANIA were laundering money through counter-trading transactions.

Second, last night, a giant whale used 50 times leverage to go long BTC and ETH. According to the leverage multiple, its liquidation price was only hundreds of dollars from the spot price. Just when everyone was puzzled, Trump posted a tweet about the national strategic reserves of digital currency. In just half an hour, the address made half a million.

Two short news, any one with a little bit of financial common sense, may come to a very clear conclusion: This is not a fucking insider trading, what else is it? Top politics + capital's open conspiracy is so simple and unpretentious.

Trump really understands decentralization, especially when power and decentralization are combined, making money is as simple as breathing, and there is no need to bear any legal responsibility, at least at this stage.

Satoshi Nakamoto's cryptographic ideal originally heralds the path beyond national sovereignty and capital hegemony. However, Trump's series of operations prove that power is using information that either explicit or implied, as well as more attractive narratives, combined with capital leverage, to complete the digital body of power and new colonization of blockchain. Insider information is being transformed by the interest team around the power group into leveraged derivatives that can be traded.

The monetization of political power and capital withdrawal on-chain, from meme to the metaphor of political donation implied by tweets, Trump is adding a blockchain engine to the White House-style revolving door. From information privilege to political capitalization, the market's fanaticism about Trump's policy fantasy is nothing more than a new colonial marketing.

Some people say that Trump is launching an American political revolution, but as a blockchain practitioner, we need to see a pessimistic reality: Trump uses the market-making hegemony brought by information privileges to push the anarchism proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto to the grave, but in a decent sense, Trump gave a high-standard state funeral.

To make the United States great again and anarchism dies, this epitaph is engraved by Trump himself.

**2. The logic of political capitalization: the trinity harvest and the

distribution of interests**

Political capitalization is part of modern politics. However, in traditional finance, its legal binding force and operational time difference logic can effectively smooth the high fluctuations caused by power monetization.

Trump has actually created an advanced harvest paradigm of the political power

• crypto complex. The fundamental reason is to use volatility arbitrage, tweets and information privileges form the core of creating volatility.

The revolving interest chain of policy leaks - market manipulation - lobbying legislation" is gradually forming in Washington. After all, even the SEC claims that MEME is non-securities and the investment risks are at your own risk.

When "code is the law" meets "power is the law", the former collapses at once.

On a deeper level, SEC and Gary Gensler are just one part of the harvest. After all, only by creating an obvious "enemy", will subsequent token marketing and on-chain colonization have an emotional amplification effect, and then through information manipulation and capital leverage arbitrage.

People mistakenly think that Trump is changeable, but they don’t know that he is a true master of social psychology and a top master who is well versed in hype and attention economy.

This set of three-consecutive harvesting methods is not uncommon in history, or to put it more offensively, this is like a withdrawal of the path of religious belief, creating a sense of guilt - selling redemption plans -completing the realization of power. The harvesting model of atonement economics has never changed. Whether it is medieval religion or the cyclical breakdown of modern financial markets, it always follows this law.

The most wise thing about power is that it is not that you make you surrender in the sense of force, but that you pay out of your own pocket for a sense of security and illusion of wealth.

Putting aside the gains and losses of personal interests, there are no winners in this game. The "meme counter-deal" and "leverage insider manipulation" behind the Trump incident are by no means the abuse of power on technology in the pure sense, but the reshaping of blockchain in the true sense.

Traditional money laundering and power corruption have significant centralized intermediary tools, with great legal and geographical restrictions. Although Trump's technological neutrality has improved the industry's situation in a practical sense, it is undeniable that it has also completely changed the essence of the industry.

White House politicians and Wall Street capital are reconstructing power relations on the chain. They have built a new, more hidden and cruel system of exploitation in the name of decentralization.

You think you are pursuing wealth freedom, but in the eyes of those in power, you are just a nutrient for more efficient wealth plunder. In their vision, you may just be a value that can be zeroed at any time.

We hate capital and centralization, but we rely on them to survive and exploit them. Individual retail investors are swaying between dependence and resistance. Only the shrinking of the wallet reminds everything that happened: Yes, it’s time to wake up.

**3. Paradox: The more decentralized, the more thorough the centralized

control of power will be.**

Perhaps we have to admit that cryptocurrencies have never been away from politics. When power's taming of the crypto world is officially put on the stage, everything is caught off guard, and only the plunder of wealth is still happening every day.

From the perspective of a conspiracy theory, we can even pessimistically believe that the so-called technological neutrality is nothing more than an explanation that there is finally no need for middlemen to cut leeks.

A series of recent facts have given us a very cruel truth: not only does blockchain fail to subvert traditional power, but it provides politics with a realistic augmentation path to manipulation at the realistic level, or the bloody fact is that blockchain provides those in power with a sharper control weapon.

When your trust is controlled by algorithms, power does not need to be monetized in traditional and complex forms. All transactions can be shaped by higher power rules. It bursts the mythical bubble of technology. What we see in insider trading is not Satoshi Nakamoto's freedom ideal, it presents only the cyber reflection of human beings around Game of Thrones for thousands of years.

We are all chess pieces that are deeply trapped in it, but I still hope that we understand all this and try not to be cannon fodder, and life must continue.
