@elcryptomaestro Could be due to an expansion to the AI data center space?

Don't poke the bear. Let her sleep.

Because nothing stops this train.

@RepHaridopolos I was curious about this too and thought this was a great explanation.

Since you asked an honest question here’s my attempt to honestly answer it:

America’s wealth is driven primarily by high-value service industries such as banking, technology, and entertainment. Just think of companies like JPMorgan Chase, Netflix, or Amazon. These sectors not only dominate the domestic economy but also play a key role in U.S. exports.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2023 the services sector accounted for over 77% of the U.S. GDP, while manufacturing contributed approximately 11%. The U.S. is also the world’s largest exporter of services, with exports totaling more than $970 billion in 2023—covering financial services, software, cloud computing, intellectual property, and consulting. These are areas largely not subject to tariffs.

In a sense, manufacturing is a game the U.S. has already outgrown, shifting its focus to more sophisticated and less labor-intensive sectors. This evolution allows the U.S. to leverage its comparative advantage in innovation and productivity, rather than competing on low-cost labor.

Meanwhile, many other countries impose tariffs on U.S. agricultural and consumer goods because they lack competitiveness in fields like finance, technology, and professional services. By protecting these less efficient sectors, they attempt to shelter local jobs, but at the cost of higher consumer prices and economic inefficiencies.

Americans are major consumers of agricultural and manufactured goods, not because these sectors dominate the economy, but because of the purchasing power generated by a highly productive, service-oriented economy. Imposing tariffs on imports may create the illusion of protecting domestic jobs, but in reality, it often leads to higher prices for consumers and little to no job creation, especially in a country operating near full employment (the U.S. unemployment rate was just 3.7% in early 2024).

In short, tariffs are a blunt instrument that may be politically appealing but are economically inefficient in a modern, dynamic, service-led economy like the United States.

[John Wikamoto @CryptoWickss]

@BradRTorgersen It would make more sense if tariffs were sector specific and targeted due to the competitive advantage caused by low labor cost.

From my understanding, they are reciprocal; if they lower their tariffs so will we. Jobs will stay where they are of the negotiation works.

[John Wikamoto @CryptoWickss]

@bretas_erick @BradRTorgersen This is one of the most thoughtful resorts I've seen to the tariff debate. No "orange man bad" appeals to emotion, just practical real world facts. We need more in the world like you. Thank you sir.

@PeterSchiff @Megan7560964546 People close to him hold it. A tale as old as time. I'm positive you see that.

[John Wikamoto @CryptoWickss]

@elonmusk Your claim that judicial blocks on presidential orders signal "TYRANNY of the JUDICIARY" oversimplifies the U.S. system. Courts uphold checks and balances, not tyranny, by ensuring executive actions comply with the Constitution—crucial for democracy, not its demise.

@AMAZlNGNATURE The Jolly Green Giant was here

[John Wikamoto @CryptoWickss]

@DisrespectedThe Price inflation will occur whether or not the countries move operations to the US. Either through the increased taxes or increase moving/labor cost. I don't see any other way around it.

[John Wikamoto @CryptoWickss]

damn, blusky is horrible

[John Wikamoto @CryptoWickss]

@hippygecko Am I missing something? Did they say they were considering it?

[John Wikamoto @CryptoWickss]

@donalt On a high enough timeframe, everything is vertical.

This is going to be an interesting week for $BTC 👀

Close above $66k and run, below and continue the soul crushing chop.

[John Wikamoto @CryptoWickss]

@dailax 🤣

[Rekt Capital @rektcapital]

#BTC

Bitcoin has experienced a rejection from the top of the Downtrending Channel (red) just like in the past (blue circles)

It's essential Bitcoin Weekly Closes inside the red resistance to avoid a deeper rejection from here

Still early on in the week

Generally, we need to observe this Downtrending Channel resistance (red) for signs of weakening compared to previous rejections

If $SOFI were priced the same as their fintech competitors, they'd be trading above $21 today (based on gross profit).

SoFi is above average in both growth and profitability from this list, so it should trade at an above average price.

Still lots of room to run.

[John Wikamoto @CryptoWickss]

@KyleWhiteGOAT @GGreg493 Oh what a Christmas that would be

[John Wikamoto @CryptoWickss]

Buying since sub $5 with an average cost of $7.30. If I'm comfortable with this breakout, I will likely be dip buying with a $14+ target. If the dips don't happen, I'm happy with my position. $SOFI

$SOFI 🚨HOLY SHIT! 🚨 SOFI is hiring 37 Engineers right now!???.....
