The decentralization of blockchain precisely provides an excellent and covert manipulation space for centralized power.

Politicians in the White House and capital on Wall Street are reconstructing power relations on-chain. Under the guise of decentralization, they are building a more covert and brutal new exploitation system.

When Trump's tweets become part of political insider trading, we must acknowledge an extremely ironic paradox: the decentralization of blockchain precisely provides an excellent and covert manipulation space for centralized power.

1. The Colonial Experiment of Power: Trump's Chief Crypto Market Maker Journey

When you stay up late watching Trump's tweets, you might think you are participating in a financial revolution initiated by the leader, but the harsh reality is more likely that you are participating in a crowdfunding project for the electricity bill of Mar-a-Lago.

Yes, Trump's presidency has been beneficial for crypto, but just as there is no love without reason in this world, the other cost of the political power that brings benefits may be: power is opening the curtain on the colonization of the decentralized world.

Recently, two pieces of news have factually corroborated this point.

First, a few days ago, on-chain data showed that the operations behind LIBRA and MELANIA are laundering money through wash trading.

Second, last night, a whale used 50x leverage to go long on BTC and ETH. According to that leverage, their liquidation price was only a few hundred dollars away from the spot price. Just as everyone was puzzled by their operation, Trump tweeted about the national strategic reserve of digital currency, and within half an hour, that address made a furious profit of half a billion.

From these two brief news items, anyone with a bit of financial knowledge might draw a very clear conclusion: this is not insider trading, what is? The collusion of top politics and capital is as simple as that.

Trump has truly understood decentralization, especially when power and decentralization combine, making money as easy as breathing, and without bearing any legal responsibility, at least at this stage.

Satoshi Nakamoto's crypto ideal originally signified a path beyond national sovereignty and capital hegemony. However, a series of Trump's actions have proven that power is using either explicit or implicit information, along with more enticing narratives, combined with capital leverage, to complete the digital appropriation of blockchain and a new form of colonization. Insider information is being transformed into tradable leveraged derivatives around the interests of power groups.

The monetization of political power and the withdrawal of capital on-chain, from memes to the political donation metaphors implied in tweets, Trump is adding a blockchain engine to the White House-style revolving door. From information privilege to political capitalization, the market's frenzy over Trump's policy fantasies is merely a new colonial marketing strategy.

Some say Trump is launching a political revolution in America, but as a blockchain practitioner, we need to see a pessimistic reality: Trump is using the market-making hegemony brought by information privilege to push the anarchism proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto towards the grave, only that, in a dignified sense, Trump has given it a high-profile state funeral.

Make America Great Again, let anarchism die; this epitaph is engraved by Trump himself.

2. The Logic of Political Capitalization: The Trinity of Harvesting and Benefit Distribution

Political capitalization is part of modern politics. However, in traditional finance, its legal constraints and the time-lag logic of operation can effectively smooth out the high volatility brought by the monetization of power.

Trump has indeed pioneered a high-level harvesting paradigm of political power + crypto complex. Its essence lies in utilizing volatility arbitrage, where tweets and information privilege constitute the core of creating volatility.

The revolving door interest chain of "policy leaks - market manipulation - lobbying legislation" is gradually forming in Washington. After all, even the SEC claims: MEME is not a security, and investment risks are borne by the investor.

When "code is law" meets "power is law," the former collapses at a touch.

On a deeper level, the SEC and Gary Gensler are merely a part of the harvesting process. After all, only by creating an obvious "enemy" can the subsequent token marketing and on-chain colonization have an emotional amplification effect, thus enabling information manipulation and capital leverage arbitrage.

The world mistakenly believes Trump is capricious, unaware that he is a true master of social psychology, deeply versed in hype and attention economics.

This three-step harvesting method is not uncommon in history, or more offensively, it follows the same path as religious faith: creating guilt - selling redemption solutions - completing the monetization of power. The harvesting model of atonement economics has never changed, whether in the religious context of the Middle Ages or the periodic collapses of modern financial markets; it always adheres to this rule.

The most brilliant aspect of power is not to make you submit through force but to have you pay out of your own pocket for a sense of security and the illusion of wealth.

Setting aside personal gains and losses, there are no winners in this game. The "meme wash trading" and "leverage insider manipulation" behind the Trump events are not merely a misuse of power over technology but a genuine reshaping of blockchain.

Traditional money laundering and power corruption have significant centralized intermediary tools, with legal and geographical restrictions being substantial. However, the technological neutrality introduced by Trump, while improving the industry's situation in practical terms, undeniably changes the essence of the industry.

Politicians in the White House and capital on Wall Street are reconstructing power relations on-chain. Under the guise of decentralization, they are building a more covert and brutal new exploitation system.

You think you are pursuing wealth freedom, but in the eyes of those in power, you are merely fodder for more efficient wealth plunder. In their view, you might just be a value that could go to zero at any moment.

We hate capital and despise centralization, yet we rely on their survival and are exploited by them. Individual retail investors oscillate between dependence and resistance, and only the shrinking of wallets reminds us of the reality: yes, it’s time to wake up.

3. Paradox: The More Decentralized, the More Thorough the Centralized Control of Power

Perhaps we must admit that cryptocurrencies have never been far from politics. When the power to tame the crypto world is officially put on the table, everything catches us off guard, and only the plunder of wealth continues to unfold every day.

From a conspiracy theory perspective, we can even pessimistically believe: the so-called technological neutrality merely indicates that cutting leeks no longer requires intermediaries.

A series of recent facts have given us a very cruel truth: blockchain has not only failed to overturn traditional power but has also provided a path for political manipulation in reality, or more gruesomely, blockchain has given those in power a sharper weapon for control.

When your trust is controlled by algorithms, power no longer needs to be monetized in traditional and complex forms. All transactions can be shaped by higher power rules, which shatter the myth of technology. What we see in insider trading is not Satoshi's ideal of freedom; it merely presents the cyber reflection of the power game that humanity has engaged in for thousands of years.

We are all pawns trapped within, but I still hope we understand all of this and try not to become cannon fodder; life must go on.
