Do you remember that moment? On January 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM, Trump announced the official launch of his personal Meme coin TRUMP on social media, with an initial valuation soaring directly to 1 billion dollars.

The entire crypto community instantly exploded. Some suspected the account had been hacked, while others were so excited they were flying high, with discussions drowning out all other voices. In less than 30 minutes, TRUMP's market cap skyrocketed to 1.5 billion dollars—such rapid growth was dazzling. During the same period, trading volume exceeded .23 billion dollars, demonstrating the market's enthusiasm.

This scene rewrote many people's perceptions. The actions of a political figure managed to stir such a huge wave in the crypto market. Those traders present will never forget that half hour of madness.

TRUMP-2.73%

Wow, really? I actually missed this wave, I'm so regretful I could eat my intestines out. 15 billion in 30 minutes, this is totally the crypto world, so exciting it’s explosive. Big shots are all making profits, and I’m still watching the market, my mentality is collapsing. Politicians playing in the crypto space, this move is truly incredible, and they can play like this. Those guys who got in at 10 AM this morning are probably ecstatic now.

NGL, I missed out on the past half hour and lost everything. I was still sleeping, really incredible. The persona account is so ruthless, throwing 1.5 billion into a meme coin directly. Is the crypto world always this crazy? If it were me, I would go all in. Unfortunately, I spend forever in regret. Politicians are more powerful at promoting products than brands. What a era, everyone. FOMO really can short-circuit your brain. Just look at the trading volume to see how many people are gambling. I heard someone made enough in ten minutes to buy a house. I'm just here watching the news... Should have gone all in earlier, but I waited for all kinds of analysis reports. The opportunity just slipped away. Forget it, not thinking about it anymore. Next wave, brothers. This is the crazy moment of Web3. Missing it by a second means missing a hundred million. Damn, I really can't hold it together. This is what the crypto world should look like.

Wow, doubling in 30 minutes, isn't this gambling? FOMO is exploding, I couldn't react in time—whoever gets in first wins big. Really? Even Elon Musk isn't this fast. The retail investors who got burned in this wave will probably regret it to the core. The craziness in the crypto world still exceeds expectations; honestly, it's all about the political hype driving it. I'm a bit worried about this speed; it could be cut short easily.
