Giant Golden Trump Statue Holding Bitcoin Appears Outside US Capitol - Political Theater Meets Crypto Spectacle
Washington just got a new monument—and it's dripping with political and crypto symbolism.
A massive golden statue depicting former President Donald Trump cradling a Bitcoin materialized overnight on Capitol grounds, instantly becoming the most talked-about spectacle in political and crypto circles alike.
Symbolism or Satire?
The 20-foot gilded figure shows Trump in classic power pose—suit, tie, and unmistakable hairstyle—while holding a shimmering Bitcoin emblem that catches the morning light. No group has claimed responsibility, though crypto Twitter is already calling it the most honest lobbying effort they've seen all year.
Tourists and protesters alike stopped to snap selfies, while lawmakers arriving for session either shook their heads or pretended not to notice—standard procedure for anything involving both Trump and cryptocurrency.
Because nothing says 'financial revolution' like a golden idol of a controversial politician—the ultimate hedge against both inflation and political relevance.
Trump continuously pushed for lower interest rates
Trump has continuously pressured Jerome Powell to lower interest rates, hurling derogatory names at the Fed Chair. The U.S. President wants dramatic rate cuts in an effort to boost economic activity, economic growth, and asset prices. However, so far, Powell has resisted Trump’s pressures, protecting the Fed’s independence.
Interest rates have a significant effect on markets. Lower interest rates make riskier assets more attractive by reducing yields on bonds and other fixed-income products. At the same time, they lower borrowing costs, making Leveraged long trades more attractive.
