Bitcoin Does the Tango as Trump Teases the World

by

Oh, the sheer thrill of financial acrobatics! Bitcoin, that capricious ingénue of the digital stage, pirouetted to nearly $69,000, having fainted to a modest $66,000 just yesterday. One must applaud such dramatic flair.

The latest ascent coincides, rather conveniently, with whispers from the White House that Mr. Trump is about to regale us with some “crucial” update on Iran. One almost feels the tension in the drawing rooms of Wall Street and Mayfair alike.

BREAKING: President Trump will deliver an address to the nation on Wednesday at 9 PM ET to give “an important update on Iran.”

Details remain as elusive as a debutante at her first ball. Experts, naturally, are speculating with all the subtlety of a rhinoceros in a china shop. Trump himself has been charmingly inconsistent: on one hand, flirting with the idea of ending the war even if the Strait of Hormuz remains obstinately closed; on the other, apparently being persuaded by Gulf allies to keep the spectacle going, while the UAE polishes its swords.

Meanwhile, Iran promises to consider a graceful exit, provided certain assurances are made, while our dear European friends-Spain, Italy, and France-maintain a polite distance, as if attending a soirée they’ve only half-heartedly RSVP’d to.

Amid this geopolitical minuet, Bitcoin continues its dizzying choreography: dipping to $65,000 on Monday with the elegance of a fainting lady, leaping to $68,400 on Tuesday, swooning back to $66,000, and now flirting with $68,800 just as news of Trump’s upcoming soliloquy reached the public eye.
