Trump crypto news: Truth Social post causes rift over Ripple connection

Bitcoin maxis say, “Never sell your Bitcoin.” They repeat it when the market crashes to urge people not to dump their BTC in a loss out of panic and fear. They repeat it when the price is going up because they believe that no matter how high the cost is in relation to previous levels, it is still negligible in comparison to the future levels. So if they never sell, why do they care about its price (oh, they do)? Table of ContentsThe message behind HODL“Never sell Bitcoin to whales”A man who claims he will never sell Bitcoin The message behind HODL The term “hodl” is one of the staples of hardcore bitcoiners. It is a misspelled word “hold.” The history behind the term captures the spirit of the “Never sell your Bitcoin” attitude pretty well.  The “hodl” term dates back to a 2013 thread on the Bitcointalk forum. The original post was written by a tipsy hobby investor using a GameKyuubi moniker. His message titled “I AM HODLING” was a rant perfectly lousily worded amidst the Bitcoin price downfall (and the OP’s untimely tiff with a girlfriend). In the message, GameKyuubi calls himself a bad trader and reveals he will hold Bitcoin instead of trying to time the market as good traders do.  “You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob.  The people in between hold.  In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.” GameKyuubi’s post struck a nerve, and folks on the forum responded to it with multiple urges to HODL, a meme (and a term used until the present day) was born. 5/ That’s when GameKyuubi wrote his famous thread.💎 💎 💎 I AM HODLING 💎 💎 💎"BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I’LL TELL YOU WHY. It’s because I’m a bad trader and I KNOW I’M A BAD TRADER."He poured his soul out to the forums 🧡 pic.twitter.com/XPcsLEHRdH— The Bitcoin Historian (@pete_rizzo_) March 1, 2025 If we think about GameKyuubi’s message, we’ll see that he wasn’t against taking profits at all. He just didn’t know when to sell his bitcoins in exchange for fiat money, so he decided not to do that to avoid being “a bad trader.”  Many interpret the “Never sell Bitcoin” principle not literally. In one of the discussions on the topic on Reddit, many bitcoiners admitted that they just don’t exchange their bitcoins for dollars. Instead, they continue to buy more Bitcoin and hold it until they need a substantial amount of money. They may sell their BTC if they buy a car or make other costly purchases. Some spend their sats to pay their rent but leave the rest of the profits in Bitcoin and don’t plan to sell it. So, they think that it’s better to hold money in Bitcoin rather than in fiat money. Bitcoin is a savings currency for them, as they believe in Bitcoin’s long-term price appreciation. It’s understood that for these people, Bitcoin’s price is an important metric, even if they haven’t sold it for years. “Never sell Bitcoin to whales” Whales are the holders of large crypto bags worth millions. In the 2020s, the Bitcoin price trajectory became heavily influenced by whale transactions. The chart indicating the correlation between Bitcoin price and the number of transactions made by the wallets holding over 10,000 BTC looks almost like mountains reflected in the lake–whenever the amount of whales’ transactions goes up, the price goes down, and vice versa. These curves may seem inverted in relation to each other. If we take a closer look at the segment where GameKuubi writes, “In a zero-sum game […], traders can only take your money if you sell,” we may see the reflection of another popular motto: “Never sell your Bitcoin to whales.” Whales will buy your bitcoins at any price at any time. However, the chances you will be able to re-purchase what you sold are small as Bitcoin’s price keeps on moving up, and whales are not avid sellers.  Read more:Dormant whale awakens after 8 years, moves $250m worth of Bitcoin: Arkham A man who claims he will never sell Bitcoin Michael Saylor of Strategy is probably the most radical follower of the “Never sell your Bitcoin” creed. His company follows the “Bitcoin standard” and sells its shares and takes on debt while buying more and more Bitcoin. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has been buying Bitcoin since 2020. It already holds over 500,000 BTC (over 2.5% of the total supply), and Saylor claims he will never sell Bitcoin. Once, he said that destroying the keys from the wallets with substantial amounts of Bitcoin was not a bad idea.  Saylor urges corporations and the U.S. government to use his blueprint and start accumulating Bitcoin. According to him, those who control the biggest share of the total 21,000,000 units of Bitcoin will have the most influence in the future.  This vision suggests that the price of Bitcoin is not as important as having as much bitcoin as possible (“we are still early,” “Bitcoin is still undervalued”). It is reflected in the randomly looking dates of Strategy’s purchases of huge amounts of Bitcoin, often on the “wrong” days when the price is high (for this, Saylor was even jokingly called “one of the worst crypto traders in modern history”). However, the price of Bitcoin is still important for the company as it affects the value of Strategy’s shares (MSTR) and the further planning of the Bitcoin-based strategy. According to Saylor, if the BTC price drops to $1, he will just buy all the bitcoins. Having one of the biggest stacks of bitcoins and having no intention to sell it draws broad philosophical questions like what it means to be rich. However, let’s leave it at this.

瑞波币价格较 1 月份的最高水平下跌超过 35%，目前仍处于熊市。 瑞波币（XRP）连续第二天上涨，加密货币在令人鼓舞的通胀数据后出现反弹。大多数货币上涨，其中比特币（BTC）和卡尔达诺（ADA）上涨超过 3%。 富兰克林邓普顿周二申请现货交易所交易基金或 ETF 后，XRP 也上涨。 该公司管理着超过 1.5 万亿美元的资产，加入了 WisdomTree、Bitwise、21Shares、Grayscale、Canary 和 CoinShares 等其他申请现货 XRP ETF 的公司行列。Polymarket 用户已将现货 XRP ETF 批准的几率提高到近 80%。 XRP 也是唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 确定的美国数字货币储备之一。如果获得批准，这将带来更多需求，因为美国将利用其强大的资产负债表来购买这些货币。 你可能还喜欢：Rumble 以 1710 万美元购买了 188 枚比特币 XRP 最大的优势之一是它能够颠覆目前由 SWIFT 主导的支付行业。Ripple 声称其技术优于 SWIFT，因为其交易只需几秒钟即可完成。其交易也比 SWIFT 便宜。 这一增长的一个潜在催化剂是美国证券交易委员会诉讼的结束。此案的结束可能会让 Ripple Labs 在其网络中增加更多的银行合作伙伴。目前的合作伙伴包括桑坦德银行、汇丰银行、SBI Holdings 和美国银行等公司。美国证券交易委员会已经撤销了针对 Uniswap、Coinbase 和 Kraken 的诉讼。 XRP 价格技术分析：它会先达到 1 美元还是 3.5 美元？ XRP 价格图表 | 来源：crypto.news 日线图显示，本周 XRP 价格跌至关键支撑位 1.9275 美元。这是至关重要的支撑位，因为自去年 12 月以来，XRP 价格已多次避免跌破该支撑位。 它已成为自 12 月以来形成的头肩形态的颈线。该形态的头部位于 3.4 美元，而肩部位于 3 美元。它也跌破了 100 日加权移动平均线。 因此，瑞波币存在看跌突破的风险，因为 H&S 是市场上最看跌的信号之一。如果瑞波币跌破颈线 1.9275 美元，则将确认这一突破，可能跌至 1 美元的心理点位。1 美元也与 78.6% 的回撤水平相吻合。 另一方面，如果代币上涨至右肩 3 美元和年初至今的 3.4 美元以上，则将确认突破至 3 美元的看涨势头。这样的走势将使头肩形态失效，并指向更多的上行空间。 你可能还喜欢：Pepe 价格形成两种形态，预示着重大突破
