rewrite this title The Crypto Party Begins Today

The markets are closed today in observance of MLK Day.

And by the time you read this, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the President of the United States of America for the second time.

Regardless of what you think about Trump, one thing is for sure…

His reelection is going to mean exciting things for crypto.

I planned on going to Washington, D.C. last Friday for the first-ever Crypto Ball.

This was a black-tie affair hosted by Trump’s AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks, and sponsored by companies like Coinbase, Metamask and Solana…

All of which are major players in the crypto space.

The goal of the event was to celebrate anticipated pro-crypto regulations, and I thought it would be fun and informative to hobnob with some of my peers in the industry.

But the $2,500 gold tickets were already sold out by the time I decided I could fit this event into my schedule.

That just shows you how much the crypto crowd is anticipating big things from the Trump 2.0 Administration.

Just as I predicted…

The Bitcoin President

In a November issue of The Daily Disruptor, I referred to Trump as “The Bitcoin President.”

In that issue, I predicted he’d get rid of Gary Gensler as SEC chair and replace him with someone who was pro-crypto.

I also said Trump would back the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve…

Meaning the U.S. government would formally back bitcoin, endorsing it as a national asset.

I was right about Gary Gensler leaving. He stepped down on his own, just as I predicted.

And Trump replaced him as SEC Chair with Paul Atkins, who served as an SEC commissioner from 2002 to 2008.

Atkins is known as a crypto backer…

And he joins AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as key officials in the Trump administration with pro-crypto views.

Trump is also expected to form a crypto advisory committee as soon as he’s in office.

It’s anticipated that he’ll tap around 20 CEOs and founders from the crypto industry to be on the committee, many of which will have established ties to Trump.

And he’ll task them with shaping federal digital-asset policies.

Does that mean a federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is in our future?

I believe it does.

Last December, Texas Republican Representative Giovanni Capriglione introduced a bill proposing the creation of the first state Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

And just last week Oklahoma joined in.

Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire and North Dakota are each considering adopting their own state strategic bitcoin reserves.

But we will likely see it happen at the federal level first.

Trump promised to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the planet” by bringing in friendly regulators and rolling back the tough and often confusing enforcement actions that occurred during the Biden administration.

And as I said back in November:

“I’m convinced it will help bitcoin transition from a speculative asset to a legitimate form of global currency. What’s more, I believe the Trump 2.0 administration will reignite digital asset innovation and provide the entire crypto industry with significant tailwinds.”

I stand by that prediction.

I also believe that bitcoin will break $100,000 for a final time and never look back…

And this will send certain altcoins to the moon.

But those aren’t the only immediate wealth-building opportunities I see happening now that Trump is in office.

The Last Chance to See My Emergency Briefing

The most pressing issue facing this new administration is ensuring that the U.S. achieves Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) before China does.

I believe Trump is about to put into effect his own “Manhattan Project” to win this race and that it could become the biggest technology project in America’s history.

Last week I went live with an emergency briefing to update my thesis about Trump’s “Manhattan Project.”

Based on new information I received last week, I now believe it will also be getting a rare designation…

One that has only gone into effect a handful of times in American history.

Within the Pentagon it’s called a “Code Red.”

I believe the technology needed to win the race to ASI will be marked with this Code Red…

Meaning the companies that Trump picks to help him build this technology will get national priority funding.

This will open the floodgates to billions upon billions more in contracts going to a select handful of AI companies.

And I’ve identified what could be the best candidates to receive a huge portion of this money…

Three tiny AI companies that could see their stocks skyrocket as soon as this week.

So if you haven’t yet watched my emergency briefing where I explain everything, I urge you to click on this link right now…

Before it’s pulled down later today.
