Bitcoin reaches $60,000 after Donald Trump shot at

[Bobcrypto]

Trump has not disappointed before, though he did not support Crypto at his first tenure; but on his second term election bid, he has openly welcome crypto and I think he will not disappoint the crypto community.
In my opinion, Btc is gonna go more higher as the election approaches, we may experience more fund inflow into BTC, (especially ETF) on the coming months leading to the November elections, and even after the election.

[God Of Thunder]

From the comments section, nobody can understand how these two events are connected to each other. Since Trump is allegedly the pro-crypto candidate.

It is not related in any way. I believe the movement happened because of another news article that said the German State of Saxony ended selling its Bitcoin, and it is holding less than 0.005 BTC at this moment. So, the traders' fear was gone, and they gained some confidence after hearing this news. I also do not understand how Trump's shooting can be related to Bitcoin's upward price. But as another news related to MT. Gox just out an hour ago, I believe the market will make another down trend move in the next couple of hours.

suddenly Trump raising his fist and a flag behind it looks cool to be in the front page calling for revolution.  i think this is where it all will began and it was predicted also by JPMorgan that p[rice will go up sooner. the didn't wait for next month.  maybe its really a revolution since BTC been the face of financial revolution since time and then Trump as they branded him for the Jan6 attempt. 

not a normal scene in US election because the two political party divided the US citizen, its going to be a crazy election. and BTC being part of Trumps campaign makes the market better.

If you remember, a couple of months ago when he was "arrested" in Georgia and released on bail, his mugshot also became viral and not only that, it was the call-sign of MAGA people until he was shot two days ago.

Now Bitcoin is at $62K. So I think the bear dip is well and truly over, although I had expected it to take much longer.

I don't see how Donald Trump's assassination attempt and BTC reaching $60,000 are related, but obviously over the past weeks, Trump has tried to sell himself as the pro-crypto candidate in this presidential race and to my surprise a lot of bitcoiners have bought into it. So why won't they come up with something like this, it is shocking, but not unexpected.

did you see some crypto channels connecting this to Blackrock ad where Matt Crooks (the shooter) is part of the Blackrock ad?  This is the video about it . somehow they are saying Blackrock has something to do with this assassination.   

Yeah, I saw that video yesterday but it's a wild speculation that Blackrock has something to do with the shooting. They probably do not know who the person was (or if he was part of their ad) until recently when it was brought to their attention.

maybe Blackrock doesn't want people buying BTC?

Or it could be the other way around. You know in history when they sacrifice an influential figure to spark a revolution or something

Are we sure its this, or the german government stopping, or something else? In any case, we are above 64k, and that seems like the most normal thing ever. I feel like the best thing to do in this case would be just letting whatever the reason is, and focus on the fact that we are high now, and we need to pump it as quickly as possible, meaning we should all buy as much as possible when we can, so that we can make sure that it all works very well. This is the thing about all of it, we need to just make it quick, because when we do, there is a hype and that is what we should be looking for.

BTC price was surely going to rise, and the dump was only temporary. However, there is good enough demand for BTC and people will continue to buy. Any temporary dump is a good opportunity to buy and take advantage of the dump, i don't think it should be a time to start selling your coins out of fud, except you have a good reason to sell.

There's no doubt that the demand will be there, specially right after the halving as it is the catalyst for a bull run. But somehow, there could really be positive news that will put people to buy even more, the FOMO so that the price will go up and continue to rise till next year. And if we look at the circumstances, it is Trump who are pushing the price right now to $68,000, specially after getting a VP to run with him that is pro Bitcoin or at least reports say that he is a Bitcoin enthusiast, or own some Bitcoin.

You believe it is Donald Trump and his Vice presidential candidate that has caused BTC to pump recently, how ridiculous to come to this sort of conclusion. I know Trump has won over a lot of bitcoiners over, who now hope on him to do 'great things' for the network when he becomes president, which i obviously do not believe, however, right now he isn't president, and i don't see what he has done for you to think he has influenced the pump.

in the end, according to what I read in the media and what some of my friends told me (we often talk about these topics)
our old man Joe Biden decided to take a step back and retire, he was no longer able to handle it
Did he realize it or was it the sock puppet behind it that made him move in this direction?  we will never know

the Dems certainly burned themselves out this election

They are surely going to lose now, i suspected that Biden will step down after his disastrous debate performance and when he also introduced the Ukrainian president, Zelensky, as 'president Putin'. I am pretty sure that was the last straw and he was now under pressure to step down because of his age and deteriorating ability to lead the nation. Trump is going to have a clean sweep.

You just have to go back to Elon Musk, in the last bull run, of course we don't have the numbers or data, but if you look at when he promoted Bitcoin that time, it really cause a massive spike to $50,000. But then after he made a U-turn and then promoted Doge the price goes down hard. One thing is for sure that crypto enthusiast will have to look for certain news to pour money and that's what we call FOMO. It could have not been Trump, but what other reasons except for the supply and demand, could have push the price to $68,000? There is this sort of positive news, like when everyone see the government of Germany selling their 50,000 Bitcoin and dump it all in the market. This could could have a impact to the price that's why it goes to $54,000. And after the dump is gone and couple of the news about Trump, pushes it above $60,000.

they practically sabotaged themselves, unfortunately I don't like the Dems given their propensity for war, they should be against war instead in words they are pacifists and Nobel Peace Prize winners, with deeds missiles like a rain of sweets
War is just a waste of resources and lives, not in importance order

We don't need weak hands in the network who allow mere tweets from Elom Musk to make them to either buy or sell, it is good he can longer influence the price of BTC like in the past. I know it is events that either cause a rise or a dump in the price of BTC, but that does not mean we should connect it to unrelated events, and Trumps attempted assassination is unrelated my friend.

[Captain Corporate]

Some say that it is because Trump was shot at, some say that it is because Biden withdrew. Can we stop thinking that any of this had anything to do with it? I mean its obvious that we are talking about just bitcoin being very low for a while, and it didn't stay like that so we ended up getting a better result in the end. I am not saying that they were all irrelevant, but the greed/fear index showed how much fear there was, meaning that everyone who had weak hands already sold, and whats left was diamond hands and people kept on buying and making it higher. Stop putting American politics into the price.
