Trump just flipped on Anthropic—went from "national security threat" to "we're cool" in a week.

His exact words: "Not now, but a week ago, maybe. He responded to us very quickly... it's tremendous liability. People get put in prison immediately for that."

Translation: Anthropic bent the knee fast enough to avoid getting nuked. Classic Trump—threaten hard, then praise when they comply.

For crypto: This is the playbook. Regulatory heat → quick compliance → back in the game. We've seen this with exchanges, DeFi protocols, and now AI labs.

Watch how fast "threats" turn into "partnerships" when the stakes are high enough. The real alpha is knowing when to fold vs when to fight.
