🚀 Trump's plan to abolish the IRS and reduce federal taxes could create a tax cut euphoria, potentially leading to a wave of economic growth and business expansion over the next year.

💰 The IRS is responsible for collecting $823 billion in individual taxes in 2024, representing 52% of total revenue, which could be freed up if abolished.

🏢 This plan may trigger a major increase in entrepreneurship and business expansion, as people would have more money to invest in their own ventures.

⚠️ A major fallout could occur at year's end for those who didn't plan well, potentially struggling with credit card debt, mortgage debt, and car debt.

👨‍💼 The IRS is laying off thousands of workers as part of Trump's plan to abolish it, affecting both individual and corporate tax collection.

💼 The Economic Ninja, a successful entrepreneur, claims to be a large holder of cryptocurrencies, precious metals, and real estate, never selling any assets he discusses.

🏗️ He suggests building homes for people in need can be done for as little as $1,500, considering it a great way to help others.

🙏 The Economic Ninja emphasizes that Jesus Christ, not Donald Trump, is the true savior of the world and America.

💰 Gold and silver serve as independent wealth stores, offering financial security outside the banking system controlled by entities like the Federal Reserve and Bank of England.

🏦 The Federal Reserve and Bank of England allegedly engage in secret gold movements to manipulate market prices and maintain their power over the financial system.

📊 Donald Trump's trade war threats have created a rare arbitrage opportunity between US gold prices and London gold futures, allowing traders to profit from the price difference.

🔒 Gold and silver present real logistical constraints and security risks due to their nature as physical assets, making large-scale transport and storage challenging.

🚀 The Economic Ninja plans to "break the COMEX" by purchasing silver with crypto profits on a specific day, aiming to globally increase silver prices and disrupt the financial system.

🚀 Solana's decentralized exchange landscape is shifting towards greater efficiency and deeper liquidity concentration, making it an attractive platform for DeFi projects and meme coins.

📉 A perfect storm of bearish factors caused Solana's price to plummet by 40% in a month, with its native digital asset falling to $160 on Tuesday, a 45% drop from its high of $290 on January 19th.

🔄 Solana's Defi ecosystem has seen a gradual emergence of aggregators, user experience abstraction, major integrations, and evolving tokenomic standards, leading to a redistribution of liquidity fee generation.

🌊 Solana is picking up where Ethereum left off in terms of DeFi projects and ERC20 token projects to raise money, potentially replicating Ethereum's success in these areas.

⚠️ The Solana DeFi leader resigned after being implicated in a $4.5 billion pump and dump of a meme coin promoted by Argentine President Javier Mele, highlighting the importance of thorough project research to avoid bad actors.
