The US government's changing attitude towards Bitcoin is indeed worth paying attention to. Recently, they sold some of the seized Bitcoin, and officials emphasized that this was in line with established policies. Just a few days later, another official claimed that the US would not sell the seized Bitcoin assets. Such policy flip-flops make it no wonder that market participants are skeptical about official statements' credibility.

For traders, this kind of policy signal volatility itself is a risk factor. The fate of Bitcoin held by the government, as the world's largest economy, directly influences market expectations. If a large-scale sell-off is expected to materialize, the impact on the price cannot be underestimated. Conversely, if there is a commitment to hold long-term, it can strengthen institutional recognition of Bitcoin as a reserve asset. The current ambiguous stance makes it difficult to discern true intentions. This also serves as a reminder for investors to not overly rely on official statements when making decisions, but to pay more attention to actual actions.

The US government is playing word games, saying one thing to the public and doing another behind the scenes. First they say that selling is part of the plan, then they deny selling, leaving everyone unsure who to believe. Honestly, this is just testing the market reaction. When the price drops, they change their tune—it's really laughable. Policy reversals are the biggest risk in itself, more deadly than any technical factor. Official statements are becoming less and less credible; it's better to see what they are actually doing with their wallets. Really, nowadays, listening to their words is less reliable than checking on-chain data; at least data doesn't lie. Relying on the US government to be consistent? Uh, I was too naive. This move is either building positions or purely a political game, but unfortunately, we can only follow passively.

Another trick of "selling on the left hand and buying on the right hand," the US government’s move is really impressive. Promising not to sell, then selling right after—how low can their credibility go? The US government’s feel for the coin price is indeed satisfying, but we also need to be cautious. Not a single truthful word from the officials; let’s see what they actually do. This wave of policy reversals is definitely creating FUD and giving short sellers opportunities. Bureaucratic power struggles mean retail investors and small traders have to pay the price—so frustrating. Over in the US, they really treat Bitcoin as an ATM, and nothing they say can be trusted. We should have gotten used to the policy flip-flops long ago; after all, it’s not the first time. With such big swings in the coin price, it’s all just them playing games behind the scenes. Don’t expect the government to tell the truth; it’s better to look directly at on-chain data.

The US operation this time is really incredible. Saying they won't sell with one hand while selling with the other—are they playing word games with us? --- The biggest fear in the crypto world is this kind of "Schrödinger's sell-off," where the official statements lead to total defeat. --- Just look at their actual actions; what they say is all talk. --- It feels like the US government is using Bitcoin as a pawn to play psychological warfare—it's a bit outrageous. --- This wavering wouldn't be a big deal if the price didn't drop sharply; if it were other assets, it would have collapsed already. --- They said they wouldn't sell but ended up selling again. Next time, I won't believe them.

Ha, this back-and-forth operation in the US has got me so confused about who to trust They promised not to sell but then suddenly acted, isn't this just playing with the market? Watching the crypto prices fluctuate wildly, you can tell institutions are also confused. Who dares to hold heavy positions? Instead of guessing what the officials are thinking, it's better to keep an eye on their real wallet movements This round of operations truly dug a hole for retail investors; those who believe the rumors are bleeding heavily The official attitude is so inconsistent and outrageous, it seems the US itself hasn't figured out how to handle this bunch of Bitcoin So we still need to see what they are really doing; don’t be fooled by their words This uncertainty itself is the biggest negative factor, let's wait and see

The US really loves playing heartbeat games, sometimes throwing, sometimes not, anyone would get tired of it... Basically, it's just talk on the surface and something else in reality; people in the crypto circle are already used to this routine. Official statements are really just for bluffing; it's better to keep an eye on their wallets. Policy flip-flops are more profitable than price fluctuations for harvesting profits... The US government's holdings movements are so crucial, yet they can still play so ambiguously, which is really a bit ridiculous. I only trust transfers, not words—this has been my only truth over the past two years. If a government can sway like this, I really can't understand what they are trying to do... Superficial words sound nice, but ultimately, it's about where the real money flows.

The US government’s move is really incredible. One moment they’re selling, the next they’re not. Do we retail investors have to guess along? Honestly, they say one thing and do another behind the scenes. Only actual actions are trustworthy, brothers. Official statements are just for listening, don’t take them seriously. Keeping an eye on on-chain data is the real key. This wavering attitude is definitely a rhythm of cutting the leeks. Repeated policies are just institutions testing the bottom line. We need to learn how to read the charts ourselves. The US’s tactics are really sneaky; they can change their rhetoric three times. What really matters is how their holdings change; what they say is all talk.

I'll generate a few comments that match the style of this virtual user: --- 1. Funny, says they won't sell but then sell again, their official face is really something 2. Still believe official statements? Wake up brothers, watch actions not words 3. One moment like this, the next like that, who the tm can keep up 4. This move is really just a tax on our intelligence 5. Don't listen to their nonsense, look at the holding data, that's the real deal 6. Policy flip-flops, they don't blink an eye when they slap their own face 7. Actual actions vs. official statements, we should be aware 8. Playing word games again, so annoying 9. How many times has the US played this trick 10. The key is to trust your own judgment, isn't it
