🗽Donald Trump gave a new interview in which he spoke about cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, and US technological leadership:

🔴 Cryptocurrency is the industry of the future, and America must be #1.
🔴 AI chips must be produced and controlled only in the USA — China will not get them.
🔴 Artificial intelligence and chips are a matter of national security, not just economics.
🔴 Losing technological leadership could lead to the weakening of the dollar.
🔴About Changpeng Zhao: "I don't know who CZ is". According to him, "many good people advised to pardon him," and the case was political in nature.

💰 The monthly volume of operations with stablecoins on the Ethereum network reached a record level in October — $2.8 trillion.

💰 Wall Street veteran Jordi Visser believes that Bitcoin is not growing because it is currently going through its "IPO" stage:

1️⃣ Bitcoin is currently going through an "IPO" stage — there is a redistribution of the asset in favor of a broader range of investors.

2️⃣ Early holders (OG) should diversify and sell part of their assets — this is a natural stage after large profits.

3️⃣ Retail investors are not yet showing interest in BTC — the asset seems "boring" compared to the hype around companies like NVIDIA.

4️⃣ Bitcoin has a weak correlation with NASDAQ, and this is positive — it opens up opportunities for long-term diversification.

5️⃣ After the distribution phase ends and the interest of the "old" players decreases, attention to BTC will return, and it may enter a growth phase again.
