Financial author Robert Kiyosaki declared Friday’s sharp market downturn confirms the financial collapse he has predicted for decades, stating the U.S. is now in a recession and potentially a depression. His comments came as global stock markets shed trillions, driven by new U.S. tariffs and swift Chinese retaliation. Major U.S. tech stocks were hit hard. Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia shares fell sharply Friday (7.3%, 3.56%, and 7.36% respectively), extending Thursday’s losses. Amazon, Alphabet (Google), and Meta also saw significant declines (4.15%, 3.20%, 5.06%). The sell-off, wiping a reported $6.4 trillion from global equity markets according to the New York Post , followed new U.S. tariffs taking effect and immediate Chinese countermeasures, including hefty import taxes and company blacklists. In contrast to traditional markets, the crypto market demonstrated resilience. After an initial dip, the total crypto market cap recovered quickly, bouncing back to $2.76 trillion. Bitcoin notably rebounded from lows near $81,000 to trade back above $83,000 Related: Standard Chartered: Bitcoin Correction Linked to Stock Market Dip Taking to social media, Kiyosaki claimed the crash validates warnings from his book “Rich Dad’s Prophecy,” particularly regarding risks to baby boomers’ retirement savings in traditional assets like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Instead, Kiyosaki urged Americans to consider alternative stores of value like Bitcoin. “As I have been suggesting for years, I recommend saving real gold, real silver, and today, Bitcoin,” he wrote. He added that the value of these assets will rise as the U.S. dollar weakens and inflation surges. “Gold, silver, and Bitcoin are not going up in price — the dollar is going down in value.” While Kiyosaki’s warnings resonate with some, others point out that he has made similar predictions during past financial crises, such as the Global Financial Crisis, which didn’t fully materialize as expected. Jim Vitek also suggests that the market may not yet be in a “bubble” state, indicating more room for equities to lose value before a crash.

China’s response was immediate and forceful. European markets followed suit, with the UK’s FTSE 100 dropping 4.9% and Germany’s DAX falling nearly 5%. Japan’s Nikkei lost over 2.7%, with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida calling the situation a “national crisis.” Meanwhile, President Donald Trump dismissed concerns over the market crash, pointing instead to job growth and economic fundamentals. “Hang tough. We can’t lose,” he wrote on social media. Disclaimer: The information presented in this article is for informational and educational purposes only.

Who would have thought that behind his simple appearance and calm speaking style, Scott Lewis would actually be one of the figures who changed the way people view decentralized finance . Not through sensation or bombastic maneuvers, but through consistency and the ability to read the direction of the crypto industry, which continues to move quickly. His story was not built overnight, but developed through various projects that did not just exist but formed the foundation that is now widely relied on. Scott Lewis’ journey in the crypto world began with a project that is now widely known: DeFi Pulse. This platform does more than just record data—it introduced terms and metrics such as Total Value Locked (TVL), which is now a common reference in assessing the strength and reputation of DeFi projects. However, for Scott , DeFi Pulse is not just a tracking tool. He sees it as a door to making open finance more understandable. In fact, you could say he helped make DeFi no longer feel confusing for new users. On the other hand, Scott did not stop at one achievement. He continued his steps by founding Slingshot Finance, a DEX aggregator that allows users to find the best prices when trading tokens. Slingshot has successfully raised funding of up to $15 million. This is not a small number, especially for a project that still relies on a long-term vision of efficiency and transparency in crypto asset trading. Previously known for data and aggregation, Scott has also expanded his role to the world of NFT and smart contract security. He co-founded Hyype, a kind of social network designed specifically for NFT collectors. It’s not just about showing off digital assets, but creating a space for collectors to tell stories and build their digital identities. Furthermore, through the Code4rena project, Scott presents a unique approach to maintaining the security of crypto protocols. He designed a competitive audit system in which ethical hackers and developers compete for incentives to uncover weaknesses in smart contracts. This technique has been fruitful, resulting in $6 million in investment from well-known investors. His idea is comparable to building a more systematic and coordinated “bug bounty competition.” Although widely praised, Scott Lewis’ journey has not been without friction. In 2021, he made a controversial decision: he blocked the founder of 1inch Exchange from all DeFi Pulse discussion boards. The reason? Alleged threats and intimidation. The decision drew backlash, but it also showed one thing—Scott doesn’t just talk about transparency and digital ethics. He implements them, even when the situation doesn’t allow it. But it’s at points like this that his character shines through. He’s not someone who likes to appear as a crypto celebrity. His communication style on social media, especially Twitter, tends to be calm, even a “calming” factor in the often heated crypto debate. He prefers to share a calmer perspective, and that’s where many see his integrity. Scott Lewis is also noted for being involved in the Atrium project—a platform that received seed funding from top investors. He seems to always be one step ahead, but he never abandons his basic principle: building something that people can actually use. He was also CEO of Zoo Trading and has experience at major financial firms like Integral Derivatives and Susquehanna International Group. Scott’s path has not always been clear, but that’s where his strength lies. He’s not a stage man, but rather an architect who knows how to build a durable framework. Will he continue to be behind the scenes? Maybe. But given his track record so far, we can expect his next move to be impactful—even if it’s not always on the front lines.

The global M2 money supply has recently reached an astonishing $108.4 trillion, and this means that the price of Bitcoin has the potential to rise to new heights. The selloff recently saw Bitcoin facing another two weeks of volatility and macro pressure, and now, as central banks pour more liquidity, analysts are closely watching Bitcoin’s response. M2 consists of currency, demand, savings, and other deposits. The expansion of M2 in the past has been associated with movements in risk-on assets. Bitcoin, especially since it is a scarce digital asset with a limited number of tokens, tends to thrive in such conditions of unprecedented monetary expansion. M2 increased by more than 25% from the COVID-19 stimulus measures compared to this year’s digital asset surge from below $10,000 to over $69,000. Recent moves echo that trend. M2 has been on an upward trend since late February, which can indicate a delayed but powerful impulse to increase the Bitcoin rate. Analysts based on M2 estimated that Bitcoin’s price usually lags behind by about two months of growth. If this pattern persists, there is the possibility of a breakout if liquidity remains high. Unlike other markets, Bitcoin revealed its stability during this period. On April 4, under pressure from Trump’s new “Liberation Day” tariffs and China’s 34% responsive measures, U.S. stocks were down $3.25 trillion in two days. Yet, Bitcoin increased to $84,639, what several analysts refer to as a persistent and rather distinct “decoupling.” Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the tariffs could harm the economy by raising inflation and reducing growth rates. He also admitted that inflation may rise above the central bank target of 2% in the future. Still, Trump called for rate cuts through Truth Social, criticizing Powell for being “too late.” As equities stumbled, Bitcoin outperformed. This divergence is catching the eye of analysts, who said that it is starting to act more like a hedge against standard risk. Cory Bates, a market analyst, has said, “Bitcoin is decoupling right before our eyes.” Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, recently rebranded as Strategy, echoed the sentiment. He called Bitcoin the “ most liquid, salable, 24/7 asset on Earth ” and stated that during panic, people use spare liquidity to sell liquid assets. Saylor ticks it down to temporary correlation by saying that in the long term, Bitcoin behaves differently. Eric Weiss, the founder of the Blockchain Investment Group, took it a step further. He stated that Bitcoin stands as a “mathematical solution” for high-risk classes of assets. “No earnings risk. No geopolitics. Just math,” he wrote. Weiss anticipated that Bitcoin would decouple from equities dramatically as institutional fund inflows are expected to rise. As the tariff war escalates and stocks bleed, Wall St will eventually realize there’s an alternative: Bitcoin. No earnings risk. No geopolitics. Just math. The moment capital truly pivots, BTC doesn’t just hold up, it outperforms dramatically. — Eric Weiss ⚡️ (@Eric_BIGfund) April 4, 2025 However, there are still some inflationary pressures, but the job numbers have remained solid. In March, 228,000 nonfarm jobs were created, while the unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 4.2%. However, these indicators have not been enough to bring stability to equity markets.

Eric Weiss, founder and chief investment officer of Blockchain Investment Group, spoke out this week on social media platform X to highlight bitcoin’s potential as a resilient asset amid rising geopolitical instability and volatile financial markets. As global equities decline under the weight of trade tensions, Weiss pointed to the unique qualities of bitcoin, arguing it offers investors a mathematical alternative unburdened by traditional risks. He stated: As the tariff war escalates and stocks bleed, Wall Street will eventually realize there’s an alternative: bitcoin. No earnings risk. No geopolitics. Just math. The moment capital truly pivots, BTC doesn’t just hold up, it outperforms dramatically. Weiss also disputed the notion that bitcoin’s behavior mirrors the equity market, predicting a sharp break in correlation. “Bitcoin’s recent correlation with equities won’t last. A divergence is coming and it won’t be subtle,” he opined. His message reflects a broader view emerging among bitcoin advocates that the digital asset is maturing into an independent asset class, capable of acting as a hedge against systemic economic and political shocks. This sentiment was echoed by Michael Saylor, executive chairman of software intelligence firm Microstrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), which recently rebranded as Strategy. On April 4, Saylor offered similar comments about bitcoin’s divergence from risk-on assets. “Bitcoin trades like a risk asset short term because it’s the most liquid, salable, 24/7 asset on Earth. In times of panic, traders sell what they can, not what they want to. Doesn’t mean it’s correlated long-term—just means it’s always available,” he explained. Weiss and Saylor, along with many others in the crypto industry, also drew attention to bitcoin’s insulation from protectionist trade policies, especially as President Donald Trump reimposed tariffs on a large number of countries. “There are no tariffs on bitcoin,” Weiss noted. The statement has become a rallying point for digital asset supporters who argue that bitcoin’s lack of borders and centralized control shields it from the types of economic constraints affecting traditional investments. Proponents argue that bitcoin’s design and independence make it increasingly appealing in a climate shaped by tariffs, trade wars, and monetary intervention. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war has unleashed turmoil across Wall Street, with leading stock indices enduring steep declines unmatched since the dramatic downturn of March 11, 2020, when the pandemic first took hold. In response to the mounting financial distress, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell addressed the situation, outlining the extent of the economic fallout. Shortly after his remarks, Trump declared it an ideal moment for the central bank to cut interest rates. “This would be a PERFECT time for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to cut Interest Rates. He is always ‘late,’ but he could now change his image, and quickly,” the President stated on Truth Social. “Energy prices are down, Interest Rates are down, Inflation is down, even Eggs are down 69%, and Jobs are UP, all within two months.” Trump added: A BIG WIN for America. CUT INTEREST RATES, JEROME, AND STOP PLAYING POLITICS! As of 3 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, the Nasdaq Composite had declined 5.33%, the NYSE was down nearly 6%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had dropped more than 2,000 points or 5%, and the S&P 500 had fallen 5.14%. Yields on 10-year Treasury notes slipped five basis points to 3.98%. Meanwhile, gold—a traditional safe haven—faltered, losing 2.9% of its value. Bitcoin ( BTC), in contrast, stood out from the turmoil, climbing 2% during the global financial rout. For now, BTC appears to be acting as a buffer against the broader downturn. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
