Crypto is skyrocketing, ever since Donald Trump won the US election. Trump is set to lead the most pro-crypto administration ever, promising a crypto advisory council and appointing a prominent pro-crypto hedge fund manager as his pick for Treasury secretary.

His campaign received considerable donations from the crypto industry, who hope he’ll come good on his promise to create a national bitcoin stockpile.

As Donald Trump zeroed in on his successful 2016 run to the presidency, he began to engage in what is called “capture and kill” journalism. Trump and his lawyers developed relationships with journalists, who were allegedly prepared to track down damaging stories aboutTrump, and then take money to ensure they would never be printed.
