Why does Donald Trump want Greenland and why is it so important? And have we just witnessed major corruption for the “Polymarket Greenland” bet?
President Trump is acting like doctors told him he has six months left as he plans to take on Colombia, Iran and Greenland at the same time. Surprisingly, the markets did not react.

What cryptocurrencies and stocks should I buy before Greenland is taken by the emperor?

The United States must have a lot of money from the Venezuelan victory and that is why they want to buy Greenland.
Trump’s cabinet reportedly sent an offer directly to the Greenland government regarding a U.S. membership bid:
- Reports indicate that it is apparently very beneficial for them to get them to join.
- There are only 57,000 people there. It is possible to pay $100,000 to each person and it would only cost $5.7 billion.
So why does the United States need Greenland?

Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump was blunt about the issues:
“It’s so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships everywhere. We need Greenland from a national security perspective.” – Donald Trump, American president
The White House later confirmed that a “range of options” were being considered, including possible military action. The escalation sparked panic across Europe, with Danish officials warning that any U.S. annexation would basically kill NATO.
Greenland straddles the GIUK Gap, a critical pivot linking the Arctic to the Atlantic, and lies directly along the shortest missile path between Russia and the continental United States.

Beyond its geography, Greenland has vast untapped reserves of rare earth elements and essential minerals essential for electric vehicles, wind turbines, energy storage and defense systems.
Our readers should note that all this geopolitical chaos is causing instability in the cryptocurrency market and will likely continue until some sort of resolution is found.

Did the “Polymarket Greenland” bet become a scam during all this?

Amidst all this, Polymarket could have put a strain on its users. After US forces captured Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, the platform said the action did not meet the definition of an “invasion” laid out in its contract, leaving more than $10.5 million in bets unsettled and users furious as odds plummeted by as much as 5%.
One mystery trader seemed to anticipate Polymarket’s move, selling his $30,000 position into $400,000 and saying that technically “it wasn’t an invasion.”

That’s the problem, any time big market makers, oracles, DAOs or whatever get involved, the definition of anything can be distorted, terms can be provisional or redefined, all for the benefit of whoever is cooking it up behind the scenes.
Imagine a bet like this: “He was wearing a suit.”
What if it was a tuxedo…which technically isn’t a suit? All the hours you spent analyzing the news, geopolitics, and weighing possibilities… canceled.
The world is so messy right now that we would have no problem believing that America could botch many of these geopolitical situations. And because of all this, Polymarket is losing its confidence.
