This is political game, not going to really make any changes or make things better but just to gain attention that he needs for the political campaign. Also Trump is a successful business man so he knows how to make use of some thing that is going but I really appreciate the point about CBDC which no leader have thought about and it's worse than current Fiat system cause once everything is digital and they have a button to reverse any transaction they want without the user's consent then it's really dangerous even to imagine.

I thought people generally didn't want to play up any connection between criminal activity and Bitcoin?   Roll Eyes

But seriously, he is a criminal.  If you still think of this man as some kind of role model, there's something seriously wrong with you.  Personally I'd rather he stayed the hell away from Bitcoin.  Last thing I'd want is more of his gormless cultists turning up here and dragging the average forum IQ down even further.  Imagine a forum full of BADeckers.

*shudders*

Where's the 'puke smiley' when you need it?  


Do you think that if he is incompetent and greedy, how can he become president of the United States? Do you think Americans are more stupid than you for choosing a greedy, incompetent person as president?

There's no denying that a lot of people in this world are incredibly dumb.  I'm not saying it's only true of the US.  I live in a nation where people have historically voted against their own interests because they believed the lies they were told.  I'm sure it happens all over.  It's just that Trump supporters are a rather special kind of stupid.  It's ridiculous how they don't see it. 

It's like someone walks up to you in a full clown costume, honks their nose, introduces themselves as "Mr Clown", slaps a pie in your face and yet you still somehow don't recognise they're a clown.

We need to understand one thing that we should never trust any politician they don't do things without their own benefit. As per the statement I don't think is any sort of acceptance but rather a pure manipulative statement and I think we shouldn't be quick in judging or trusting any politicians as it's all the vote politics and they can do anything for votes.

Majority of government and politicians don't like Bitcoin and crypto, you can understand that from the atrocious regulations laid by Indan government.

In an election year, politicians are very open to most ideas that a presented to them, it doesn't really matter if they don't like it, so far as there's a large number of voters that subscribe to it, they'll just play along until they enter office and completely ignore whatever it is. I'm sure that Donald Trump, has an idea of how he wants to run his government, if he wins, and if Bitcoin is not in it, then he'll just be answering questions related to it politically.

What I know for sure is that Bitcoin has come to stay and it's adoption is increasing everyday, so no matter the personal opinions of world leaders and influencial individuals that doesn't support it, they'll be forced to accept it's popular adoption by the masses. Inasmuch as Bitcoin adoption is driving by the younger generation, it'll eventually get the respect it deserves as a decentralized digital asset.

Having previously called Bitcoin a scam, I was really surprised to hear Donald Trump put out some good words about Bitcoin. My question is what really changed? First, he publicly condemned CBDC and labelled it a surveillance tool and now he's saying he can accept Bitcoin. To be honest, I find hard to believe that his comments are genuine. He's a politician and will always talk like one, he's saying all this to garner support for the forth coming election.

Just because he said he would probably accept bitcoin doesn't mean he would accept it as a currency, and he's not the only one with a change of heart on bitcoin. If I remember correctly, Michael Saylor was also the one who called bitcoin a scam before, but now he is the one who holds a lot of bitcoin.

As for whether he lied for his own political purposes or whether it was his sincere words, no one knows. But it is not strange if he has calculation and purpose when making such friendly comments about bitcoin. Like us, does anyone work without receiving a salary, does anyone invest without receiving interest...? Everyone has their own purpose. If bitcoin doesn't bring you profit, doesn't bring you benefits, will you still support it?

I find the idea of Trump as a Bitcoin 'ally' weird and intriguing. He went from skeptic to begrudging accepter, a remarkable evolution. I never thought he'd lean toward crypto, but here we are, talking how his backing could swing Bitcoin votes.

Peel back the layers. Trump's "one currency" strategy is conventional, but his acknowledgement of Bitcoin's momentum is telling. This shows the adaptability needed in today's fast-changing economy. Is this change genuine or a ploy to win over the crypto community?

Additionally, Trump's regulatory mention resonates. Decentralization is Bitcoin's strength, but Trump's regulatory frameworks may be the way forward.
Trump, despite his age, is a modern man and finds the idea of bitcoin as the modern and future of money. He realises that it is foolish to deny what has already spread around the world. It is better to embrace it and be one of the first than to share a piece of the pie in the future.

Trump might not be an honest or sincere person, but he is definitely not dumb, he needs people's vote, and at the very least he wouldn't let the US economic and financial sector to get left behind, because the US is where he can get money and get richer. I am not a US citizen, but if I were, I wouldn't be too excited about this news, it is a good news but even if his policy are more supporting for Bitcoin he and his allies will be the one who get the most benefit.

Right. Basically, these leaders make decisions based on what the public wants and what benefits them personally or their party. Trump's stance on Bitcoin might be influenced by a desire for votes and economic gains. So it's worth keeping an eye on how his policies could play out for both the general public and his own interests. Its not wrong to be skeptical

I seriously doubt he even knows what Bitcoin is. His advisers probably told him that it is a buzzword that could potentially get him some votes. Otherwise politicians' stance on Bitcoin, specially in US, is not going to change much. They hate it but they don't want to show it...

I don't doubt that he knows this very well, because regardless of his character and acting as a classic American cowboy, the fact is that he has a nose for business, otherwise he wouldn't have built such a business empire. In addition, such a character does not tolerate others whispering too much in his ear, so what he recently said about Bitcoin is only the result of someone asking him about it, and not some kind of planned strategy.

I completely agree with the latter, because in the US there is a saying "in God the dollar we believe" and during his first mandate we heard countless times that the US will defend its currency by all means. They (politicians and bankers) don't like Bitcoin, but they don't mind the profit they make with it.

Isn't it curious when he says that he always liked one currency and that's USD but at the same time he wants to win the heart of Bitcoin supporters? I mean, it's contrary, isn't it? He has been constantly saying that Bitcoin is a scam, he didn't like it because it was competing against his favorite USD, it's a shame how he forgets what he said just a few months and years ago and comes up with a different opinion, pretends to have changed mind like it's nothing. I believe that Bitcoin holders are smart enough to understand that this man lies for the sake of winning elections and doesn't care about your privacy and would integrate CBDC tomorrow if he could.

He is like a fox, he doesn't like Bitcoin but he knows that he needs votes and does everything to attract as many people as possible to win the election. I hope that no one will believe any of his promises because politicians always lie, they tell lots of lies before the election and once they win, they forget what they were telling. He is a crazy man that tasted the power of being president of the United States and now he does everything to gain that power back.

If he is indeed ready to convince us more better then he should be able to share us his investment portfolio in bitcoin, by this then we will know he is been serious about bitcoin, we cannot say something to others to use when we are not practicing the same, he have to first live by example before we can believe in him, secondly, being a former president and that he lost his chance for re-election back into office alone shows he is a failure and don't think he has something to offer new than how he has been used to.

ewwwwww. Trump is the most corrupt awful incompetent politician America has ever had. Nobody with any sense of reason or morality supports that terrorist. Him maybe starting to kind of like Bitcoin does absolutely nothing to change absolutely everything else about him. OP, if you don't know anything about Trump please don't post on here like it might be good if he became president again just because he may end up liking bitcoin a little bit.

Anyway, there's a very good chance he'll be spending the rest of his life in prison soon with all the trials going on right now, rather than terrorizing America from the white house. As an American, Trump serving the rest of his life in prison for his many awful crimes against America is the only outcome that would help America regain its standing in the world. Bitcoin will be fine.

Do you think that if he is incompetent and greedy, how can he become president of the United States? Do you think Americans are more stupid than you for choosing a greedy, incompetent person as president? Also, have you achieved any more achievements or successes than him that qualify you to judge him? Are you a billionaire, a politician or does no one know about you?

We're just talking about a former president, a presidential candidate changing his mind about bitcoin. Someone who once hated bitcoin is gradually becoming more bitcoin-friendly. That shows that bitcoin is gradually conquering people around the world. As for whether they are good or bad people, there is a law to judge or if we are better than them, otherwise don't rush to judge someone when we are no one.

I don't think this is a tactic to help Trump get more clearance votes expressing his positive views in favor of bitcoin. Remember that those in power will do what they feel is in the best interest of the country first, and if things do not get a positive economic balance then it will be a good idea to turn your back on things. It's not surprising that he declared it

But it's really nice that he is expressing a positive opinion on bitcoin, I remember he also expressed before that bitcoin is really harmful to the US economy Smiley when he was still in office President, maybe that information is wrong but I don't pay too much attention. Because really, with bitcoin, it exists without too much influence on someone's judgment, support/opposition, bitcoin will still exist and develop.
Trump is on a crusade to win back the presidency of the United States, anything he says has as a purpose to gain voters, and even if for some reason this was not true, this is the only way we can interpret his actions as he is in the middle of a campaign.

Trump’s team probably realized there is a set of voters which may like a more liberal stance of the federal government towards bitcoin, and speaking to them in this way may gain him some valuable votes, but do I think Trump has really changed his stance and we may expect some positive news in the case he won? Absolutely not, and if he did I will be surprised it happened.

His stance changed about a year ago when he started to pump his Trump Card NFTs. Sure it was on the Ethereum network and not bitcoin but you can’t love one and not the other.

I think his PR probably decided it’s better to be pro bitcoin to get more votes. There are millions of voters which hold crypto and one of their key decisions will be how the next president treats crypto. We don’t want some president that will be anti crypto and try to ban it.

Cryptocurrencies in general attract the attention of grifters so it would not be surprising that Trump is beginning to speak more positively about Bitcoin after making millions from his NFT collections. Trump is only pro-Bitcoin as long as it’s possible to make money from shitcoins. It’s no different from Brian Armstrong saying he supports Bitcoin despite Coinbase taking actions that are hostile towards Bitcoin. Armstrong and Trump may not care about Bitcoin but they need it to continue existing and being seen as legitimate by regulators because it enables them to continue promoting their own shitcoinery without much obstruction.

I think it's a calculated political move. He was anti-Bitcoin because he's old and because he was playing on "America First" idea, believing that it presupposes the Dollar First as well. But then, for the upcoming elections, one of his major contestants for the Republican nomination was DeSantis who made Bitcoin a major part of his campaign, linking it to the idea of freedom as minimal state intervention into processes, which is appealing to many Republicans. Now that DeSantis is out of the race, Trump needs to gather his former supporters around him, and making a milder statement about Bitcoin is a way to do it.

well if he makes some decent btc laws once he is elected good.

we should know by nov if he wins.

since liz warren is super anti btc maybe he will do it just to fuck with her.

It appears that after having Larry Fink as the new mayor of bitcoin we might have a president of America that will be supporting bitcoin if Trump gets the victory on November hehehe. This is certainly shocking and very unexpected. I did not know bitcoin and the cryptospace would bring him much votes because why is he doing this if this is not a trick for bitcoiners to vote him?

Mmm in general I don't like politicians, I don't think that the majority of them have their own country and people as first priority otherwise many things wouldn't be happening. And I'm not American but I'm not sure Trump cares too much about his own country, his legal position is very complicate so becoming president again would hugely help him to get rid of many of his personal problems. And to be honest I don't even understand how he's allowed to run for president due to his current situation and processes.
