Topic: Next US president pro-bitcoin? - page 4. (Read 538 times)
Most definitely the business of electing the president of the most powerful country in the world does not just fall on whether the candidate is supportive of Bitcoin or not, whether it is discussed in the line of inflation failing the target with a considerable margin, too much QE, weakening US dollar, etc. Whether the presidential candidate is pro Bitcoin or anti Bitcoin won't make him win or lose an election. But if it has to be as shocking as letting go of the USD and replacing it with Bitcoin, I guess such a candidate whoever that is is meant to lose.
What would happen if someone, lets say Bob. Goes out and says "We got a problem. Previous governments have been doing too much QE. Inflation is going wild. We will now adopt Bitcoin as legal tender."
Would Bob get elected? Or would majority of people not like Bob?

I don't think that bitcoin will tip the tide for any presidential candidate, yeah good that one of his platform is to adopt legal tender. But there could be some opposition against it in the US. So not a sure fire platform for anyone. So 50/50, others might like it, and others don't. And US being a superpower, I doubt that they are going to adopt bitcoin as legal tender, for them dollar is still the world currency.
If he says those things, it wouldn't be a win for him, remember that the US has a really dumb population, they appeal and get their votes only for those that they find interesting or caters on their primal instincts which is really a cause for a alarm because one win from a really stupid president could end US as we know it.
Whether certain presidential candidate likes Bitcoin or not, I'm quite sure that being publicly bullish on Bitcoin would pretty much be suicide election-wise. Simply put, a lot of Americans still think that Bitcoin is a scam, and being bullish on Bitcoin is one of the ways to not get you elected.
They just need to communicate it a bit better than me. Say things like "Hey inflation is bad. Housing and food is more and more expense. We need better currency like bitcoin".Most americans already know about bitcoin these days after elon musk and michael saylor so are more friendly. Around 1 in 3 americans have owned some bitcoin at some point. Even those that didn't own already are curious.
