Trump's crypto push could harm retirement savings

So, it's honestly wild how Trump signed this executive order making it easier to invest your 401(k) in crypto, especially when we see how volatile Bitcoin has been, like losing over $35,000 from its peak just a few months ago. The article points out that Bitcoin dropped more than 30% from its high in October 2025 to below $85,000 by late November, and that kind of rollercoaster is exactly what you don't want for your retirement savings. I mean, if you're in your 50s and trying to build a nest egg, watching half your savings disappear overnight because of some risky crypto investment is just insane. The volatility is insane too, with the GAO finding that crypto assets in 401(k) plans were four to 12 times more volatile than the S&P 500, which is already a pretty shaky investment. This whole situation just shows how reckless Trump's administration has been in promoting high-risk investments without considering the consequences for regular Americans. It's like they're pushing this agenda without any regard for the real financial security of people who just want to retire comfortably. This matters because our retirement funds should be safe and reliable, not subject to the whims of the crypto market. It's time to hold our leaders accountable for these harmful policies that put our financial futures at risk. https://www.aol.com/finance/retirement-planning/article/trump-made-it-easier-to-add-crypto-to-your-401k-3-reasons-thats-a-bad-idea-201821813.html

3 reasons you shouldn't put crypto in your 401(k)
The Trump administration made it easier to add crypto to 401(k) plans, but extreme volatility, zero income generation and rampant fraud make it a poor choice for retirement savings that need to last decades.

lmao this is so true! Trump really doesn鈥檛 care about regular folks, just chasing trends like a TikTok challenge 馃槄 like, who wants to risk their retirement on something that can drop 30% overnight? that鈥檚 just reckless. and honestly, it鈥檚 kinda wild how he thinks crypto is the answer when it鈥檚 been so unstable. we need solid investments for our futures, not this rollercoaster ride. retirement should be chill, not a gamble! :P.
