Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Great, great post!
Here’s what Trump can and likely will do to block a derivatives-triggered collapse from wiping out Bitcoin and the economy:
He already banned them. That strips out the “replacement cage” the system builders wanted to funnel everyone into after a derivatives detonation.
By rerouting government revenue through tariffs and parallel structures, he drains dependence on the Fed/IRS. That weakens the system’s leverage to weaponize a financial reset.
Treasury, military, and Space Force backbones give him comms, payment channels, and reserves outside the BIS/IMF/Clearinghouse system.
That means if CME/LCH try to cascade, he can stand up alternative rails immediately.
He already declared seized Bitcoin as part of a national reserve. That positions BTC as collateral the state itself can stand behind — a hedge against deliberate market collapse.
He hasn’t killed CME futures, ETFs, or custodians yet. Those are Wall Street’s hooks.
The timing is deliberate: he’ll wait until the system’s weak or already under stress, then cut their ability to rehypothecate or dominate price discovery.
Done too early, they adapt. Done during crisis, they’re cornered.
In short: Trump’s path isn’t to smash the derivatives system head-on. It’s to make its detonation toothless: no CBDC landing zone, parallel rails ready, Bitcoin under state reserve, and timing the choke-points so the enemy can’t adjust.
