Donald Trump Warming Up To Bitcoin?🤔
Former president Donald Trump talks Bitcoin with a softer tone!
Happy Friday Everyone!
This week former President Donald Trump participated in an Ingraham Angle Town Hall at the Greenville Convention Center on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024.
Host Laura Ingraham mentioned Trump’s stance against CBDCs and asked if he would embrace Bitcoin. Here is what Trump said:
“It’s taken a life of its own. You probably have to do some regulation, as you know. Many people are embracing it. More and more I’m seeing people want to pay Bitcoin and you’re seeing something that interesting.”
Now Trump did say he preferred the US Dollar over any other currency but his tone was way softer than what he tweeted about Bitcoin in 2019 when he was president.
As you can see there is a clear difference, Trump seems neutral on Bitcoin now, he is no longer against it.
This coupled with Trump releasing NFTs on Bitcoin Ordinals shows he is warming up to crypto but not outright pledging his support.
We could possibly see Trump show his full support for crypto as we get deeper into the election cycle especially as certain Democrats such as Elizabeth Warren continue take the anti-crypto stance. We also saw presidential candidates such as Vivek Ramaswammy, Ron Desantis, and RFK Jr. show support for the crypto industry.
