Breaking! The world's most dangerous man is livestreaming war on social media. Under the shadow of war, are your $BTC and $ETH wealth shelters or lambs to the slaughter?

Over the past twenty days, nearly ninety posts, from early morning to late at night. A U.S. president has been live-streaming almost in real-time on his social media platform, sharing decisions and emotional fluctuations during a military conflict. This is not a historical archive but the reality unfolding now.

After the conflict erupted, the commander-in-chief used his favorite online channels to warn opponents, criticize allies, attack the media, and reassure tense regional partners. Never before has a person of such global power communicated their views on the war process so openly, instantly, and with personal flair.

According to an analysis, about a quarter of his posts since the operation began have been on related topics. Over ten messages were posted between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Eastern Time. The content varies, including videos, retweets, and lengthy personal statements, some exceeding 200 words.

His aides insist this is strategic communication. The White House press secretary even installed a monitor above his desk to track his latest updates, highlighting the importance of these posts. However, sources reveal that the rapid development of the conflict sometimes surprises and frustrates even the president and his advisors.

In public and private, he has expressed anger at media coverage, dissatisfaction with insufficient support from allies, and regret that the key oil route, the Strait of Hormuz, has not been fully opened to ensure passage safety. A senior senator admitted he has never seen him so angry.

Diplomatic analysts point out a fundamental contradiction: the seriousness of war clashes with the casual nature of social media. This dissonance has unsettled some political allies, who worry that prolonged conflict could cause long-term economic chaos and impact election prospects.

His war-related posts often intertwine with other topics. One minute he might threaten to destroy an opponent’s natural gas field, the next discuss Asian carp threats to the Great Lakes, or update on White House banquet approvals, even linking to old feuds with comedians.

During his first term, Twitter was his main megaphone. Now, he has chosen his own platform. On February 28th at 2:30 a.m., an eight-minute video officially announced a joint operation, kicking off this online opinion war.

In the following dozens of posts, he repeatedly emphasized that military actions are destroying the opponent’s assets and dismissed all skeptics. Last Saturday, he called on countries relying on Strait of Hormuz oil to jointly safeguard the shipping lane. By Tuesday, after allies refused requests, his stance shifted sharply, claiming he no longer needs or wants NATO assistance.

On Wednesday night, the situation escalated again. After the opponent retaliated by attacking Qatar’s energy facilities, he issued a direct threat: “I don’t want to approve this level of violence and destruction… but if Qatar’s liquefied natural gas is attacked again, I will do so without hesitation.”

Some believe it’s good that the president is willing to involve the public in debates, but the downside is a lack of discipline, as his explanations often seem scattered. Almost every morning, he meets with senior advisors in the war room to review military options. Attendees include the vice president, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, defense secretary, secretary of state, CIA director, and White House senior staff.

He once called this conflict a “short-term trip,” expecting it to end within weeks. But the ultimate goal remains unclear, and obstacles keep piling up. The government has yet to publicly outline specific plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which normally handles about 20% of global oil shipments. Its closure has driven up prices for gasoline, diesel, and crude oil.

This war has consumed so much energy that some White House officials privately complain that the president had to spend a lot of Tuesday attending St. Patrick’s Day celebrations with the Irish prime minister. The president joked, “I’ve been with the Irish all day. I should have been with Iran.”

For markets, this kind of high-level decision-making communicated through social media—full of contradictions and immediacy—is itself an amplifier of uncertainty. Geopolitical risk premiums are already reflected in energy prices, and history shows that during such turbulent times, capital flows into safe-haven assets change. Traditionally, cryptocurrencies like $BTC and $ETH perform unpredictably in these environments—they are sometimes seen as “digital gold” attracting funds, and other times under pressure due to global risk asset sell-offs.

The core contradiction now is: when war narratives are driven by snippets on social media in real-time, the resulting market volatility becomes even harder to predict. Are your holdings prepared for this?
