Trump strikes again—"Europe's 100% tax increase" combined with the "island purchase plan," causing a tremor in the global markets. This is not just a simple trade threat but a geopolitical risk directly impacting the financial markets.
European stock markets plummeted, gold hit a new all-time high, and risk aversion instantly surged. Behind the seemingly glamorous threat lies a series of sobering data: over 96% of the costs from U.S. tariffs are ultimately borne by the U.S. itself, which is essentially shooting itself in the foot.
Even more interesting is the internal power struggle within Europe—holding onto assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, yet becoming a hot potato. Germany advocates for calm dialogue, while France insists on a hard stance, clearly divided in their positions.
The core of this turmoil is not the tariff figures themselves but the market's fear of uncertainty. History has repeated itself more than once; during the China-U.S. trade friction, tensions were high, but ultimately, they shook hands and reconciled. How will the EU and US drama unfold this time? How will the crypto market respond? What’s your view?

Laughing to death, buying an island? Is this guy trying to play SimCity?
Speaking of which, BTC has dropped really hard this time. Should we buy the dip or keep lying flat?
Things are a mess over in Europe, Germany and France are arguing, it feels more intense than the crypto circle haha
96% of the costs are flowing back to oneself? Isn't that like shooting oneself in the foot? That move is really clever
Uncertainty is the biggest killer. I bet five dollars that in the end, negotiations will still be necessary

Ah... Trump is at it again, is Europe finished?
Same old trick, scare retail investors, institutions have already left.
The crypto market is still the same, the best time to buy is when prices are falling the most.
Wait, is the island purchase plan real...
Gold hits a new high again, everyone is avoiding risk, BTC is the true king.
96% of costs borne by oneself? Laughable, these politicians are really contradictory.
Europe's sell-off probably means tens of trillions will flow into US stocks, indirectly benefiting crypto?
But the risk is indeed high, better to hold steady and not chase the rally.
History repeats itself, ultimately reconciliation, as usual a rebound, betting on this move.

Wait, is the island purchase plan serious? Seems a bit outrageous haha
---
BTC is once again swayed by political drama, so annoying
---
Diving headfirst into oneself 100%, now that's impressive
---
While Germany and France are arguing, our coins are crying
---
Gold has broken through the sky, is there still anyone not fleeing?
---
Uncertainty is the greatest certainty; this time it probably won't stay green for many days
---
Instead of guessing how Europe and America will perform, why not see when we can act independently
---
Anyway, if you're caught, just treat it as a regular investment; it's a long-term thing anyway
---
The key is that risk aversion sentiment is rising, all altcoins are being blood sacrificed, ETH is the worst
---
Replaying history? Laughs, this time it's different

Still playing these scare tactics, it's really old news.
---
Wait, buying islands? Is this guy out of his mind...
---
The real issue is the internal conflicts in Europe. Germany and France can't even sit together properly. That's the real warning sign.
---
96% of the costs are borne by themselves. Serves them right. They blow up their own wallets and then come to blame us?
---
History will repeat itself, no doubt, but this time the severity of the action is different. It really feels like something's going to happen.
---
Basically, it's market panic. I actually see an opportunity to buy the dip at this point.
---
Should crypto fall or rise now? I can't figure it out anymore.
---
A hot potato, with Germany and France playing the good cop and bad cop, just messing themselves up.
---
Ten trillion dollars is in their hands; they can't run away. Europe can't escape either; it's stuck.
---
Always arguing here. The market has already been set; just look at the charts to know the answer.

Wait a minute, is the island buying plan real or just another rumor? Anyway, every time this happens, the crypto circle starts to dance.
Honestly, it's still mostly panic selling. Once the emotions calm down, it will still rise when it's time.
Germany and France can't agree, and in the end, it's still the US that has the final say.

Damn, they're at it again? Trump really dares to say that. The crypto community has long been used to this "wolf is coming" act.
