Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?

Elon Musk's political musings once again prove that crypto markets react more to his whims than to actual policy debates. ETH dipped 0.02% in the first minute, then climbed 0.03% and 0.22% over 5 and 10 minutes, suggesting traders initially shrugged before cautiously buying the rumor. DOGE barely twitched, with gains of 0.14%, 0.11%, and 0.37% across the same periods, as if to remind us it’s still a meme coin at heart. GORK stole the show with a 2.36% surge after 10 minutes, because nothing says "America Party" like a token nobody understands. Compared to past posts, this one sparked milder volatility: ETH’s 0.22% move is tame next to June 5th’s 0.13% drop, and DOGE’s 0.37% rise is a far cry from June 6th’s 0.05% yawn. GORK, however, flipped its usual script, going from historical declines to a rally worthy of a third-party candidate’s hype. Nothing unites traders like the thrill of betting on vague political statements—except maybe the thrill of pretending they know what GORK is.
