Could Trump’s ’stimmy’ cause another crypto rally?

Make CryptoTips a preferred source on Google

“Stimmy” sis making a comeback, or at least if US President Donald Trump is to be believed. “Stimmy” is a slang term referring to the stimulus checks that all Americans received during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 and 2021. This marked the start of a phenomenal Bitcoin rally, from a low of $4,000 in March 2020 (at the start of the pandemic) to a high of $68,000 in November 2021.

So, does this mean we are headed for a another Bitcoin bull run?

Tariffs

While the stimulus checks in 2020 and 2021 were intended to help get through the COVID crisis (America doesn’t really have a social safety net like Europe does if you lose your job), the 2025 stimulus proposal would be used to pay for groceries.

Donald Trump, struggling with the rising prices of everyday goods in America (and rapidly losing popularity as a result), has once again proposed a unique solution: he wants to send Americans rebate checks for the tariffs his administration has collected.

“People who oppose tariffs are fools!” Trump posted on Truth Social. “A dividend of at least $2,000 per person (excluding high-income earners!) will be paid to everyone.”

How and when is unclear, but numerous videos and stories have already emerged explaining how Bitcoin will benefit.

Seeing is believing, of course.
