Throughout 2025, high-profile figures have thrown their weight behind crypto initiatives—launching tokens, granting pardons to industry figures, and making headlines. Yet the numbers tell a different story. Since early 2025, the overall crypto market cap has contracted by roughly $500 billion. Bitcoin itself is down over 12% from its peak, while the TRUMP token has cratered 93% from its all-time high.



So here's the real question: Did this high-profile involvement actually move the needle for crypto adoption and sentiment? Or did it simply amplify the skepticism that already exists? When celebrity tokens and political endorsements don't translate into sustained market confidence, it raises hard questions about what truly drives long-term value in Web3.
BTC-1.45%
TRUMP-0.64%

The tactics of celebrity tokens playing suckers rely on actual products to speak for themselves. Another round of star effects to play a wave and then run, the crypto world should wake up. That TRUMP coin... a 93% fall, hilarious, this is reality. No matter how loud the promotion, it can't beat the fundamentals; it’s time to look at technology and ecology. Only after losing five hundred billion did they realize that chasing trends is not as good as looking at the White Paper. Really, political endorsements ≠ coin price rise, wake up everyone. This operation is completely a game of passing the parcel. Those who boast amazing, in the end, still have to rug pull. Long-term value? Let’s talk after bringing out the team and the code. After one round of playing suckers, when will there be real projects?

A 93% big dump is really incredible, the celebrity effect is so fragile --- To be honest, it's just a guise for playing people for suckers, political halo can't save a bad project --- TRUMP coin fell from heaven to hell, this round of dumping is a bit blatant --- Haha, industry figures give amnesty with Token big dump, this irony is off the charts --- 50 billion evaporated... no matter how loud the headlines are, they can't withstand the reality of dumping --- So does a celebrity endorsement = certain death? It seems web3 really needs some solid strength --- Another wave of suckers feast, if I still believe in celebrity coins next time, I'm a fool --- Political endorsement + Token = the recipe for playing people for suckers, not new at all --- Is a 12% fall in Bitcoin not enough? This is the real market response --- I just want to know who caught this last stick of 93%

Celebrity tokens are just a new way to Be Played for Suckers, and it's truly ironic that TRUMP crashed by 93%. Market lies don’t, you can’t just rely on boasting to pump it up. Another failed faith deposit, who’s going to lose everything this time? That's why I only trust Bitcoin; everything else is just a storytelling session. Political support ≠ market Consensus; how many people need to understand this logic? To put it bluntly, there are still no real application scenarios, all relying on stories to hold up. If you ask me, it's better to wait for a real technological breakthrough than to follow the trend and speculate on these concept coins.

Celebrity Tokens have crashed badly, how awkward. TRUMP coin has plummeted 93%, the more fiercely it was hyped, the worse it fell. Speculation is ultimately speculation; the crypto world still needs to look at the fundamentals. Once again, it's a carnival of playing suckers, the funding scheme has peaked. No matter how high the topic is, it can't save a bad project; wake up everyone. High-profile support = catching a falling knife at high positions, this rule never changes. The celebrity effect can’t withstand a Bear Market; nothing new here. That's why I only look at the White Paper and don't follow the trend... 50 billion evaporated, only then do we understand what it means to be rich on paper. Political endorsement does not equal technical value; it will still fall. Be cautious of politician tokens; they all follow this routine. In short, things without cash flow will eventually return to rationality.
