Bitcoin: $10,000 becomes $5,880On inauguration day, Bitcoin opened around $102,000. A $10,000 investment bought roughly 0.098 BTC. Today, with Bitcoin trading near $60,000, that position is worth approximately $5,880, a loss of just over 41%.

Bitcoin still lost nearly half its value on his watch. Rising Treasury yields, institutional profit-taking, and selling pressure tied to Strategy's $14 billion unrealized loss position have weighed heavily throughout his term.

Trump Coin: $10,000 becomes $430
The TRUMP meme coin launched two days before inauguration day and peaked at $74.27 within 48 hours. By January 20 it had already crashed to around $35. A $10,000 investment bought roughly 285 coins. Today those coins are worth approximately $430, a loss of 96%.
Nearly one million people bought the coin. Analytics firm Nansen found that their combined losses total $3.81 billion. Trump himself cleared more than $635 million from the same token. The trade worked out for one side of the table.

(5,956 posts)People said called it a fake and a scam when it crashed from $1000 to $200 thirteen years ago.
When it goes up, people say it's a bubble. When it crashes they claim they were right.
Yet the highs are higher every cycle, and the post crash low is still at or above it's prior peak.
buy low, sell high - and you'll do well with crypto.
