Crypto Assets Reshaping the World Order: Political Games and Innovation Challenges
The Encryption Order in Game of Thrones: Strategic Reserves in the Trump Era
Introduction
For a certain political figure, the world seems like a huge reality show. During the early days of his tenure, many have received termination notices, from internal agencies to foreign leaders. How will cryptocurrency succeed as a key player on the future political stage? Perhaps we should start by understanding this leader.
1. Mastering the Rhythm and Creating Surprises: The Art of Negotiation
In the autobiography of a certain politician, "controlling the tempo" and "creating surprises" form the core of his negotiation philosophy. The clever use of these two strategies not only established his early business empire but also set the tone for later political games.
Looking back at classic cases from his early business career, starting with a hotel project in New York in 1976, he demonstrated absolute control over the rhythm of negotiations. When the city government requested that he bear the costs of renovating the subway station, he created a sense of urgency by threatening to withdraw from the negotiations, ultimately resulting in a significant increase in government subsidies. In a landmark construction project in 1983, he took the delay tactics to the extreme: just as the project was nearing completion, he suddenly sued the contractor, successfully compressing the project costs.
The 1985 casino acquisition case was his peak interpretation of the "raiding strategy". After lengthy negotiations, when the seller was ready to sign the contract, he threw out a new demand to assume massive debts at the last moment. This seemingly mad move was actually a precise calculation: he understood that the other party had already invested a significant amount in legal fees, and that project bankruptcy would lead to a chain reaction. Ultimately, the acquisition was completed at a cost far below market price.
Recently, in a highly publicized bilateral talk, this politician once again showcased his usual tactics. First, he reached a consensus with the other party before the meeting, laying the groundwork for future cooperation. Then, during the discussions, he proposed a huge repayment demand and requested that the other party inject the strategic resource revenues into the "Reconstruction Fund." The entire process left the audience astonished and ultimately led to the collapse of the negotiations.
From these cases, we can summarize the trading rules: 1. Set goals that are far higher than expected; 2. Use all possible means to pressure opponents; 3. Be unpredictable, making it difficult for opponents to anticipate; 4. Make good use of media to amplify the impact of events. The way to respond to such strategies seems quite simple: refuse to trade, refuse to negotiate.
2. Strategic Reserves of Encryption Currency
Shortly after an important meeting, the politician announced on social media that multiple encryption currencies would be included in the "encryption strategic reserve." Following the announcement, the market experienced a surge, with prices of various encryption currencies skyrocketing. However, the reactions within the community were markedly different from before, even leading to numerous doubts and conspiracy theories.
This sudden announcement, while consistent with its usual style, has a purpose that is difficult to discern. Combining it with its "trading rules", possible objectives include:
III. Destructive Survival Strategies
The decision-making style of this politician is deeply influenced by his father, forming a competitive mentality that "demonizes" opponents. Whether in cases of confrontation in the realm of business diplomacy or certain controversial political events, it highlights a survival rule centered on attack, destruction, and suppression.
Although cryptocurrency investors often support each other due to shared interests, it is important to be cautious as we may not be on the same side. The concepts of "America First" and "Family First" may permeate their view of the crypto world. While it is still unclear how he will treat non-American and non-family projects, it seems he is ensuring an "America First" and "Family First" approach in the on-chain world in a manner similar to a tariff war.
Possible strategies include:
In the future, more measures may emerge, such as suppressing output from non-American mining pools and integrating regulatory interfaces that meet American standards at the protocol level. The Americanization of the encryption world seems to have inevitably begun. In this open conspiracy, we either choose to ally or choose "refuse to trade."
IV. From Satire to Reality: The Evolution of Encryption Currency
A well-known entrepreneur once pushed a token originally intended for satire to a dual peak of market value and actual application during the cryptocurrency bull market. This token, rooted in internet culture, was initially developed by engineers to mock the speculative frenzy of the cryptocurrency market at the time. Its code was completed in just a few hours, employing an infinite issuance mechanism that completely subverted the narrative of Bitcoin's scarcity.
However, this entrepreneur has breathed new life into this ancient meme through social media. He refers to himself as the "father of tokens," igniting market enthusiasm with slogans like "moon landing" and "people's currency," even linking it to space projects. This frenzy propelled the token to surge thousands of times in a short period, with its market value at one point surpassing several traditional giants, completing a transformation from a tool of satire to being one of the top global encryption assets by market value.
5. The Future of the Encryption World: Balancing Innovation and Regulation
Putting aside personal interests, some politicians have indeed left a legendary mark in the history of politics and business in the United States, and may also drive Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies towards a broader future. However, how much room for innovation can exist in a crypto ecosystem under strong intervention and high regulation? The struggle for attention and power is rampant in the on-chain world, as a well-known developer reflected on social platforms, does the excessive pursuit of short-term benefits and speculative products truly align with the original intention of cryptocurrencies?
In the future, this situation may intensify. In the coming years, so-called high-quality projects may depend solely on the statements of certain political figures. The influence of political power on the encryption world is a double-edged sword, and the cryptocurrency ecosystem may split into multiple factions such as traditionalists and newcomers. The past competition among public chains will continue on a larger scale. Under the strategies and immense influence of certain strong figures, this game may become exceptionally fierce, but perhaps this is the only way for the encryption world to break through and realize true value.
