One factor that the media has missed is that the "dork right" who support trump have the bitcoin put option.

Elect trump -> his crazy ideas work -> stonks go up -> get rich

Elect trump -> his crazy ideas destroy USA -> USD collapses -> BTC goes to infinity -> get rich

BTC/USD is down as we speak 6% around 78k... if anything the riskier the asset the more downside there is

BTC is a risk asset owned by US institutions, so that won't happen. It's basically another version of QQQ.

I don't follow. If the economy collapsed, nobody would want fake money you can't spend whose value relies on someone else with excess income.

Gold is a significantly better, safer purchase.
