Trump’s 100% Tariff Crashes Crypto Markets

I got incredibly lucky today. This morning, on a whim, I sold four of the five Litecoin (LTC) in my Robinhood account for $132.36 each.

I spent the day with phone on the charger while I watched cat commercials and put out some updates on the Apex Girl wiki. I went and did some gardening and then had a long conversation on my smart watch.

The call prompted me to go in search of my forgotten phone. When I picked it up, I noticed the crypto widget on my screen was showing LTC at $85 per coin. The numbers kept changing.

I opened the Robinhood app and saw everything was red. Everything, crypto and stocks. My portfolio was down over 25%.

I was very happy to see how low the prices had gotten especially after my timely sell earlier in the day. I was able to pick up some cheap 0.44 Solana (SOL) and 70 Ripple (XRP) and also buy back a single Litecoin for $98.17.

I tried multiple times to get a limit order for 2 coins at $90 each, but the market kept rejecting the orders, so I gave up and used the market order.

Historically, I’ve had terrible timing when buying and selling. Somehow my buys always become the peak and my sells become troughs. What looks like a low price is always a day away from becoming the highest average.

Thankfully, today I had a win.
