Topic: Trump picks the first ever bitcoiner on a presidential ticket who holds bitcoin! - page 5. (Read 1921 times)

Trump has a strong lead against Biden. The failed assassination attempt just boosted President Trump's re-election bid. Biden's unwillingness to resign, alongside his cognitive decline, will make the Democratic Party lose the elections big time. I don't think Harris will be able to make any difference. It's over. People want change in America. Especially with inflation, immigration, and global conflicts spiraling out of control.

A strong US will put an end to this nightmare for good. Trump and his Republican Party are the only chance America has to rise from the ground up. Embracing Bitcoin at its fullest will be the first step towards being at the forefront of innovation. Especially when China (through Hong Kong) opened its arms to it. If the US rejects crypto (or regulates it heavily), it will be left behind in the dust. Other countries will "eat its cake". Besides crypto, America needs to cut massive spending and put a halt to the rising national debt. It's going to be tough, but not impossible. The future is unpredictable, so I can only hope for the best.

Don't know if anybody has seen the 3D/AI generated video which was created two days ago (sat on this before releasing it due to youtube algorithm deleting views for some reason) of the incident which had been discussed about for a week already and even having the victim of it speaking publically about it during the last day of the convention for the first time.
So it should be alright to show it now.

Bitcoin conference should have heavier security measures put in place so this never happens again.
Because the CIA secret service had a major fail befall them and are pointless if they can't do their job correctly even if it is a former president.
Since the speec at the RNC last night by Trump, bitcoin's price has risen overnight to $67,500.
You can not with a straight face say it was not this Trump Pump which caused it to rise by 6% within the past 24 hours since the convention's last speech by The Orange man!

Vance is definitely a supporter of Bitcoin and it’s nice to see Trump pick a candidate with a wonderful track record as well as a little younger. We can only hope that they win it will certainly be a huge in for crypto as a result across the board imo

Thanks @legendbtc for that post.

It reminded me to query about by how much bitcoin's price had increased when Trump won the U.S Presidential election back in 2016?

Interesting chart on the comparisons to the current president in their election years when it comes to the economy:

Obviously Biden is too old to continue running the country, but it is difficult to understand why the Democratic Party continues to let him represent them to run for office, which is no different from giving victory to Trump. As far as I know, Biden is under a lot of pressure when many Democrats suggest he withdraw, but replacing the candidate at this time is quite late and has many disadvantages. Trump completely dominates many strategic countries and his approval ratings are very high.

I don't know if we will have a bitcoin nation, but it is almost certain that bitcoin will fly to the moon if Trump is elected and that is what every investor is waiting for   .

On PolyMarket, 91% support that Biden should withdraw from the election and I believe it is inevitable.

From your lips to God’s ear!

Trump is our guy. A true bitcoiner. He should win. Demrats are the enemy of freedom. The world had a taste of communism before, we didn’t like it. Trump is the only way forward.

I find it baffling that recently everything about Donald Trump has been related to BTC, even by bitcoiners themselves. I know Trump has tried to force the tag of the 'crypto guy' on the BTC community, but at this point, i believe that more people than i ever thought have fallen for it. The advantage in the polls is with Trump, and it is almost certain that he will win, but what advantage do some of you believe he will be to the BTC network, you believe the president of the U.S will overtly support BTC?

Nothing will convince the liberal lunatics. They’re irrational, emotional and easily triggered.

Many followers of this thread from what I have seen posted about him not going to talk about bitcoin after the republican nomination forget he is to appear and scheduled to speak about his stance on bitcoin and what he plans to do once back in office:
Bitcoin Conference 2024 in Nashville July 25-27th

I guess Trump is really serious about crypto. He's going all in. With J.D. Vance on board, what could go wrong? I have a feeling 2025 will be very bullish for Bitcoin. There's a high chance Trump will win the White House again. Especially when most people are angry about rising inflation (economy), immigration, and unnecessary wars.

Elon Musk, a staunch crypto supporter (particularly a Dogecoin lover) will be donating millions of dollars to Trump's political campaign. A pro-crypto administration is what America needs to avoid being left behind in the dust. Especially with countries like Hong Kong, the UAE, and El Salvador embracing the revolution. America cannot miss this opportunity. Adopting the latest technologies is the best way to keep America at the forefront of innovation.

Unfortunately, the current administration's strong crypto regulations has done more harm than good to the industry. Trump and his team are willing to take a flexible approach to help spur the grow of the industry in America. Who knows if crypto companies that once left the US (eg: Bittrex, Binance) will make a comeback? I surely hope for the best.

This could be what the 80M cryptocurrency users in the country think as well. Although they may not agree what Trump's decision or his policies, him supporting the crypto industry isn't as bad as the current administration that drives away blockchain innovation.

He is securing his win in the presidency while the democrats have no other candidate. There is no better time to replace Biden than now but they are firm. They are making it easy for Trump to win along with JD.  Trump working together with JD I think is already moving towards a Bitcoin country. 

The new pick is just 39 years old -> Feel like everyone under 40 has bitcoin now, and trades it too.

Oh wow, that could very well be an important information. This isn't really "politics", you could dislike Trump or Vance, personally I never liked Trump, and this is the first time I am hearing Vance, never heard of him before. However, this isn't politics, this isn't republican vs democrat, I am not even American so that doesn't mean anything to me, whoever wins it will not change much in my life.

However, what I am suggesting here is that we are all in crypto, meaning that while they may do wonders for USA or do terrible harm to USA, in either case they will be pro-crypto and they will try to do the best they can for crypto, which will impact my life. If they do something quite well, like approach this subject like an important part of their ticket/campaign, and actually give some decent promises, like miners not being taxed that much etc, then we can actually do well. USA is a big nation, with a huge economy, and we need them to be in the market working towards making this bigger.

Obviously it is not going to be easy, and it will take a while, but we could potentially see them do a great job. This needs to be done in a way where we could probably see them some regulations or law or something that helps crypto people.

Maybe, but one never knows what's what when you're talking about politics with extremely incomplete information, e.g., what's being said and done behind the scenes.  On the other hand, this isn't bad news by any means when it comes to bitcoin and could be much worse.

My question is whether Trump has a chance in November; I expected him to be a two-term president, but got quite a shock when Biden won it.  And if Trump's got a shot at winning, that would depend on who he's running against--I don't follow politics, as it makes my blood boil, but is Biden still insisting on running for a second term?  If so, any sane person would vote against him (as opposed to voting for his opponent).  I've got very mixed feelings about this upcoming election, since I was very much anti-Trump when he ran the first time but came to see that his presidency wasn't nearly as bad as I'd figured it'd be.  My prediction was that there would be a nuclear holocaust, but that didn't come to pass.  Do I like him?  Nope.  But man oh man, I really think we need a Republican in the White House.  It'd be good for bitcoin, but more importantly I think it'd be far better for the economy and our national debt.

As November gets closer I'll likely start paying more attention to what's happening in the race.  Until then, for my own sanity I'm just tuning all of it out.

Elizabeth Warren is watching this and shaking in her boots.
All these senators who have been having their way in congress will all be nullified once the new administration comes in.
Could be these current "Crypto Donators" to the Trump Campaign are hoping that he will remember who funded him before getting back into office come November so when it comes to appointing a new faction into CFTC/SEC and Treasury Secretary (Jamie Dimon will need to change his tune from Davos quick if he wants to stay in his job there) Chairs, will see bitcoin and all other cryptocurrenies in good light.

Additionally, at least Trump is showing that he is serious about the crypto industry even if he faces opposition from Congress (if he is elected). That shows us that he wants to promote the development of cryptocurrency instead of suppressing it like the current government is doing. We really won't know what will happen in the future but what we need is a president who likes and supports cryptocurrency rather than a president who seeks to oppose it.

Answering your question: as a crypto investor, there is no reason for me to vote for the current government when they are so much against crypto rather than helping it develop.

This man is all about money.
He lives, breathes and "your fired" when it comes to it.
Yes, I agree with your statement above. He is a real estate and oil kind of man.
Made of old money and that is what had made his empire. So why would give up on it for this new way economic freedom from all the old fiat vices that comes along with it?

That what comes when J.D Vance comes into the picture.
A Vice Presidential candidate who is all about technology and has worked for Peter Tiel who gave him his meager beginnings in Silicon Valley.
He holds more than $200,000usd in bitcoin at one time back in 2022. Which he probably has more in all his cryptocurrency holdings when it comes to Ethereum and NFTs.

Trump does want to start up another NFT which he plans to sell to his vast amount of supporters.
This will be his third NFT project.

Trump is really gunning for the bitcoiner vote. He'll all-but-assuredly be re-elected by this point, and after he is, I predict he'll never say another word about Bitcoin. The Federal Reserve - the true Masters of the Universe - won't let the president say anything that could potentially undermine the dollar; i.e. vouching for any other kind of currency. Instead you'll see more tweets like this from Trump's handlers:



He's just another politician doing politician things.

I have already written many times that it is somehow tragicomic that Bitcoin depends on one man and one country, and it should be decentralized. In the end, if the wishes of many come true, the US will have a monopoly on mining, trading with BTC through ETFs and CEXs, and will probably impose filtering of transactions on the good ones and the bad ones.

Yesterday I actually heard that information on one of the US business TV programs and at first it seemed to me that I had heard wrongly, but then I remembered who was the Treasury Secretary in the last mandate - so I have no doubt that many important people in the Trump administration will be those who don't really like Bitcoin.
