Trump & Crypto: Is Your 401k About To YOLO?

by

So, Donald Trump is apparently trying to fix the retirement system. Which, let’s be real, is like asking a toddler to perform brain surgery. 🙄 But instead of sensible stuff like… I don’t know, *not* cutting Social Security? He wants to let people put their 401(k)s into crypto. Nine trillion dollars worth of retirement savings. Because what could possibly go wrong?

Trump’s Crypto Pivot: Retirement Reform Or Risky Bet?

Apparently, this news broke on X (formerly Twitter, because Elon!). A publication called NewsGate reported on a Financial Times article. It seems our former president is angling to let everyone gamble—I mean, invest—their retirement funds in Bitcoin and Dogecoin. Which, fine, if you’re a venture capitalist with a yacht and a very good accountant. But for Brenda from accounting? Maybe not.

This is all stemming from an executive order he signed, which basically said, “America needs to be the best at crypto!” Great! Just what we needed, another global competition. Like we don’t have enough. It’s very “let them eat crypto.” 💰

And get this: a Washington Post investigation found that one in five of Trump’s top people already own crypto, worth up to $120 million. Coincidence? I think not. It’s like they’re all in on a very elaborate inside joke… at our expense.

Now, Bitcoin *did* have a little moment after Trump’s order, soaring to $109,026.02. Then it promptly remembered it was Bitcoin and went on a little rollercoaster ride. Investopedia tells us this happens. Shocker! It’s volatile! Like a reality show contestant who’s had too much caffeine. ☕

Look, crypto can be good for diversifying… if you enjoy stress and unpredictable financial outcomes. But retirement should be about, like, stability. You know, being able to afford prune juice and early bird specials? 👵🏻
