I just woke up to the BIGGEST CRASH in history.
But it wasn't random.
It was perfectly planned, and someone knew before you did.
Here’s what really happened 👇
1. The calm before the storm
Two days before the chaos, one of Bitcoin’s oldest whale wallets quietly opened massive short positions on $BTC and $ETH worth billions.
No headlines.
No hype.
Just silent, strategic movement on-chain.
2. The trigger
On October 10, President Trump posted on Truth Social:
“China has taken very hostile actions. Massive new tariffs on Chinese products are coming.”
Markets dipped slightly. Nothing major.
Then came the podium announcement a few hours later.
“Starting November 1, the United States will impose a 100% tariff on all Chinese imports.”
That’s when panic hit.
3. The instant fallout
Within minutes:
→ S&P 500 dropped over 2% (worst day since April)
→ Bitcoin plunged to $102K
→ Ethereum crashed to $3,574
→ Altcoins bled 60–90%
→ Nearly $1T in crypto market cap wiped in under 3 hours
More than 1.4 million traders liquidated.
Over $20B in positions gone.
