On the announcement, which came via a tweet from Crypto Czar David Sacks, crypto prices globally tanked. Within an hour, the market capitalization of crypto assets shed $200 billion.

After Sacks verbally summarized the order, Trump asked him to clarify, “And this is something you believe in fully?” Sacks assured him, “100%.” “Alright,” Trump continued. “And we made the promise, right?” Sacks responded consolingly, “Absolutely.” Just a few minutes ago, President Trump signed an Executive Order to establish a Strategic Bi...
