TRX Posts claim Trump midterm loss is bullish for Bitcoin, bearish for altcoins
Posts on r/Bitcoin and r/CryptoCurrency argue that Donald Trump's midterm defeat is positive for Bitcoin and an "extinction-level nightmare" for altcoins. One post states crypto Super PACs spent over $200 million trying to buy a friendly Congress and lost, and that the CLARITY Act failed its September Senate cloture vote 49 to 50 and dies when the new session convenes on January 3. It also claims incoming Democratic committee chairs, with Senator Elizabeth Warren in line for Senate Banking, gain investigative subpoena power over DeFi foundations, insider VC unlocks and exchanges.
