Okay, so the US elections are over, and the conclusion of this election marks both the end and the beginning of many things. For the first time we can stop thinking the election was holding the price of crypto or have this feeling that since the election wasn't done, we still have an embargo that's yet to be lifted.
This election created a financial and psychological roadblock, and to be honest, it was bearish. Before the election, many people were unsure of the outcome, particularly those who believed Kamala would win and destroy the price of Bitcoin.
In short, hearing about the US elections was bearish, but I believe all of the FUD will fade, and if BTC continues to lag in price, people will find another reason. Fortunately, all of the "what if" has ended, and beginning today, there will be a clearer picture of what we all think of crypto and its current or future prices, without mentioning the US elections.
Influential Investing
People are waiting for a winner to emerge before they can invest. With Kamala as the winner, many people will spread FUD, and I am confident that this will bring down the price of cryptocurrency, not Kamala.
The sentiment is what generates FUD; we saw her with Biden, and it was not good for crypto, so it was simply a matter of doing some cross multiplications.
Although the US elections may not have a long-term impact on crypto, the short-term impact will be significant.
We cannot ignore the interference between the government and cryptocurrency; while we all wish they could function independently, this is not the case for the time being.
Government policies alone create FUD, and while people will move on after everything, the short-term impact of a bearish candidate winning the election can slow down price movements. They are certain that Kamala is bad for crypto, but she was only a bearish candidate, and the speculation surrounding her is negative.
But here we are, Trump has won, and Bitcoin has soared to $75k before falling slightly. Was it truly the Trump factor? Yes. Many are now begining to feel bullish. I have no doubt that Trump will not be bad for crypto; if the sentiment around him is positive, then everyone appears to be fine. Again, who says sentiment does not drive price? Think again.
Politics & Crypto
I do not want to make this post about Trump's victory or get too political; it is not my place, but my analysis correlates with this victory, and I feel obligated to do so.
Social Media
People who do not believe elections are won on social media should see Elon Musk's presence on Twitter and how his hype generated massive support for Donald Trump.
I do not think Trump had an advantage over Kamala; it was more about packaging and charisma, and it just goes to show that hype is a powerful tool that should never be underestimated.
Elon Musk is, in my opinion, the world's most powerful influencer, as evidenced by his success with Doge coin. In fact, I believe memecoin began to gain credibility following Elon Musk's influence.
He might not go ahead to actually recoup his Twitter investment when he balances his books, but I don't see him selling Twitter anytime soon because of the influence he can push to make things happen. I'm not saying he won Trump this election, but we cannot underestimate his impact.
Having people who have interacted with crypto at the helm of government affairs is a bullish thing for crypto, and we will begin to see things unfolding soon.
In Conclusion
I believe people will start talking about BTC hitting $100k by the end of the year; it is possible. However, at this price, I believe BTC will still correct to 68, 70k. I believe this pump is simply a reaction to Trump's victory, just as we might have seen the (BTC) price fall to the 60 to 62k range if Kamala had won.
These would have been transient or temporary bumps or dips, but as I previously stated, corrections will occur, and the natural pump will occur at the appropriate time. So, if you bought Bitcoin before the election, congratulations, you are in profit; the dust will settle soon, and some corrections are unavoidable. Everyone will be back where they were, but the election uncertainty is over.

Election is finally over and the more pro BTC candidate won. From our standpoint that is a net positive. BTC may look toward 100K now, interesting things ahead and most of the FUD is hopefully behind us now. I just hope elections aren't this ugly ever again, but I'm sure they will be worse next time.
If the Musk audit of the government happens, things could get really interesting here. It would be nice to know exactly how these idiots are spending all of the tax money.
It's too bad Nigeria can't put a good candidate in office either. Hopefully it will be possible soon! I know you've talked a lot about the dirty politics there too!
!hiqvote
You're right, the pro candidate won and probably this is the only good thing, and the FUD and all is now behind us.
I didn't know there is going to be an audit. I heard that Biden's son was involved in a dirty scheme and I'm not really sure what it was.. let's see how it goes.
As for Nigeria, it's dirtier here. The politics are more injurious and people tend to vote who can buy them a plate of food or is relatively from their tribe or something.
I think the key deciding factor was probably Joe Rogan. When I heard that she dipped out of the interview with him, I didn't have much faith in her. I am hoping that Trump follows through and removes people like Gensler. It would be great if we could have a crypto friendly or neutral SEC/FED.
Gensler cent stay as SEC chairman, he knows it, everyone knows it. I Think the SEC under Trump will be better than that of Biden, no matter what, I just think the SEC under Biden has been terrible
This is not going to long last, now let's see if Mr Trump is going do what he has promised 😬. Not sure when the real alt pump will come.
The pump might not last long, but this might be a new beginning towards the proper bull run and that of the altcoins too.
I just hope the pump will continue so it can affect other crypto.
I just knew Kamala wasn't a match for Trump.
Trump the Pump, hehehe.
Well, yes, let's see what the BTC pump means for the other alts
I expect Trump to keep his pro-crypto promises. Maybe now he's won investors will get more out of the bull run when it peaks next year. BTC did well following his victory though it seems in the next couple of hours BTC might be trading at or below $72k. I pray more things that will cause the market to go bullish especially for the bull run's peak next year will happen. Thanks for writing.
How promises are majorly to own his own crypto with his own face and to be a crypto friendly president. Overall, there's really nothing Trump can do for crypto. It's just the hype of being a president who doesn't hate crypto
It's really amazing, how news like this can create such sentiments in the Crypto World.
Trump is pro crypto, so.
I also think that the pump is temporary as a reaction to election result. Corrections will happen soon.
Indeed, me too.
🙃
I don't see BTC below 70k this cycle until the bear market, even temporarily. I could be wrong...
Well, I could be wrong too, but I think we might just get that dip back to 68k again, probably before the month ends and that might just be it before we take off
It is over and Donald Trump has won. No place for Kamala 😂🤣🤣
Indeed, He has.

Elon Musk is really an influential person, arguably the most influential in our modern times. I think he definitely plays a huge role in helping Trump win the US elections. What comes next, especially in the short to mid term looks favourable for crypto, I'm looking forward to seeing more mass adoption for crypto.
