Leading Cantor Fitzgerald, he\u2019s been ahead of the curve on crypto, focusing on Bitcoin and Tether. Under Lutnick since 2021, the firm\u2019s been steering Tether\u2019s US Treasury and bond portfolios, proving his push to merge digital money with old-school finance.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent statement, he reaffirmed his belief in Bitcoin\u2019s potential, emphasizing,\u00a0<em>\u201cBitcoin isn\u2019t just an American thing. It\u2019s a global phenomenon.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So what will a Howard Lutnick-led Department of Commerce look like for Bitcoin and crypto assets?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the crazy theories first.<\/p>\n<p>Remember we don\u2019t know exactly, and we\u2019re thinking out loud. It\u2019s possible that Lutnick could support Michael Saylor\u2019s idea of the US government using Bitcoin to tackle the debt crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Absent that, Lutnick has also talked about the US selling land rights to tackle the debt; since the federal government owns so much land, it does nothing with it.<\/p>\n<p>(<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Federal_lands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Lutnick also means the US will get more serious about increasing US dollar hegemony through stablecoin usage abroad. Keeping the dollar strong relative to other fiat currencies would be crucial to the US, as well as buying and holding bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>At minimum, however, we might see more Bitcoiners get into positions of power, which means the state is neutralized as a threat, at least in the short to medium term.<\/p>\n<p>The government has always been bitcoin\u2019s \u201cfinal boss,\u201d and it seems like it could win that final battle during the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"postContainer replyContainer\"><\/div>\n<p>(<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/polymarket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polymarket odds<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">Lutnick\u2019s belief in Bitcoin\u2019s potential to drive market expansion will guide his actions in the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>The bull case in all this is nothing less than Bitcoin unlocking the timeline of infinite easy winning and upside. Shitcoins may not stand a chance of keeping pace.<\/p>\n<h2>When Will Altcoin Season Rip?<\/h2>\n<p>We know what Lutnick will do for Bitcoin, but what about altcoins? The Bull runs here, but these altcoin bags are napping.<\/p>\n<p>The immediate news is grim. Another day, another new ETH\/BTC low.<\/p>\n<p>(<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/ETH.D\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TradingView<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>We haven\u2019t had an alt season since 2021, not even a mini one. When is Bitcoin\u2019s dominance going to drop?<\/p>\n<p>The bear case for alts is that most of the money coming into Bitcoin is from ETFs now, and that money can\u2019t easily flow to alts. Do you think JP Morgan will sell its Bitcoin once it peaks to buy Pepe? LOL. Zoom out on the monthly charts. Dominance has been rising nonstop since April 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Our bull case at 99Bitcoins is that alt season will only happen after Bitcoin maximizes its gains.<\/p>\n<p>For now, because of people like Howard Lutnick, who is BTC \u00dcber Alles, we won\u2019t see a true alt season until 2025.
