It’s remarkable how immigration continues to expand across the globe. Today, it’s impossible to contain the flow of transportation and cultural exchange that begins in the digital realm. Who can stop a personal relationship between people from two distant countries when a strong bond is formed, eventually leading to relocation? Who can stop the innate desire to be with family? Migration processes and legal frameworks increasingly include more variables, making it impossible to restrict the movement of populations.
So, what’s the solution?
Leaders must broaden their perspectives and establish better relations between nations—it’s inevitable. Over 20 years ago, free digital chat applications emerged, accelerating global communication. Today, it takes very little effort, money, or technology to connect with someone new and build a relationship, whether romantic, friendly, or business-related.
My first child was born from a relationship that began on Yahoo Chat two decades ago. My current business relies on social media to generate revenue. Thanks to these platforms, at Emultiservices, we solve people’s problems quickly and affordably every single day.
The decision by the US government to shut down TikTok is outdated, despite its defenders citing “national security” as the justification. This move strips many individuals, both young and old, of a significant income source derived from their personal or business profiles. The online community and its economic processes have been driving financial growth for years. This decision feels like a bulldozer ploughing through a thriving marketplace.
The United States: Falling Behind Its Own Progress
The US is often seen as a highly advanced nation, frequently compared to China, a global leader in innovation. However, actions like this show the stark contrast. This seems more like a media stunt—an act of misplaced protagonism—rather than a forward-thinking decision. While the US undoubtedly has a track record of significant achievements, measures like this undermine its role as a global leader, making it seem more paternalistic towards other countries rather than progressive.
Bitcoin and the United States
The cryptocurrency market has also seen significant shifts linked to actions by former President Donald Trump. Before his inauguration, Bitcoin prices hit record highs, exceeding $100,000, driven by expectations of crypto-friendly policies.
According to Euronews, during the inauguration weekend, Trump and the First Lady launched meme coins named $MELANIA and $TRUMP. The $TRUMP token saw significant growth, reaching a market capitalisation of $13.5 million and pushing Solana’s value to $294.
In summary, Trump’s actions surrounding Bitcoin have generated both anticipation and market volatility. Coupled with the crypto-friendly stance of Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), this points to a potentially promising future for the cryptocurrency sector.
