as far as i know it is real and from genesis mining

If it is so, then that is a great thing. Bitcoin lacks advertising in general. Have you ever encountered a Bitcoin-related AD? I know that I haven't. Pulling one on Trump makes it even better.

Not yet

edit: well, if a print magazine counts, then yes Wink

It's not about the physical wall , this is about Trump's project to stop all remittance between US and Mexico, but I don't think it could be done. Money has flowing freely for more than a century, and they are regulations not even a president can change.

That guy really is insane. Why is he leading the Republican primaries?

Yeah, touché Lauda, publicity for BTC is a good thing. Pointing out Bitcoin's highest and most useful role (avoiding capital controls) will get more people thinking about our economic freedom.

But, I doubt that Mexican immigrants and Mexican infrastructure (in MX) is ready for wholesale adoption of Bitcoin. That will not happen for some time.

To my knowledge, Trump has not come out against Bitcoin. But, a hard crackdown on BTC and its ecosystem might be very damaging. .Govis very powerful when it decides to crack down...

I'm sure Clinton espoused the virtues of Bitcoin in her last paid lecture for Wall St. bankers. GG knobs, LOL... However, an actual poster billboard in a prime location would be more impressive than a few seconds on a giant TV screen setup in a ghetto section of town IMO.

Also cloud mining is a fucking ponzi scam, not surprising to see kid of support for the fiat bankers candidate from Genesis Mining.

All due respect but Trump can't stop the flow of remittances leaving the USA for Mexico. Whatever restrictions he is trying to build people will always find a way to circumvent this. The Mexicans living in the USA are earning their money in a honest way then why aren't they free to do with it as they please? This is a great advertisement for Bitcoin because it promotes freedom of people's money.

i dunno about usa politics, but does Trump or any other of them knows and promote bitcoin a bit?

"Them" as in trump's team? I strongly think they have know or at least heard about it. Bitcoin has a strong position on internet and its almost impossible that trump's team never heard about it. But, whether they choose to ignore btc or embrace it, its a completely different case.

no them was for those that work in politics, there must be at least oen who strongly support bitcoin

I think if anything, it might peak some interest and cause a number of people from various sides to look into this bitcoin thing and what this message is about. Best case scenario would be the mainstream media picking this story up and running with it, seeing as how how it involves The Donald and one of his incendiary platform issues.

This would be great for more of bitcoin exposure and being talked about in the mainstream media and among the masses. The media is so quick to demonize Trump, that they may even end up putting a positive spin on bitcoin, who knows. One can dream, right?

Shit, did I leave the stove on?

I think this billboard is real. This is from Genesis Mining's blog : http://blog.genesis-mining.com/a-bitcoin-use-case-donald-trumps-wall Grin

They have done this kind of provocative advertisement before. It's surely a great way of diverting people's attention to Bitcoin. I don't sympathize with Trump at all I think he will be a step back for the USA if he gets elected for president.

I don't really understand this. Has Trump said anything that is directly related to Bitcoin? Or this is maybe something that has to do with the declarations he made about how he is going to put currency control against Mexican borders?

That is exactly what it is about. From the people who brought you the Jamie Diamond billboard.

Will attract the people we want to grow bitcoin through with more open minds than building walls to keep the world out.
Better ways of dealing with issues like ending the war on drugs and allowing these Countries to develop instead of meddling.
