Topic: Which US presidential candidate will back Bitcoin? - page 2. (Read 2644 times)
This might be better off the politics section, but it's kind of inbetween, so I guess it works. I honestly don't think either of the candidates will support bitcoin, as most people just view it as a risky investment, and something that is hacked regularly and is unreliable. I'd like to see a presidential candidate support it, though.
form the rumour, it said that Hillary is going to support bitcoin , however for me its just a politic way to get support, i do believe if the government support the coin it will become a problem, for sure the government will want to tax bitcoin earning as income, so i dont see any advantage will come out from the government support
Wise up, Clinton is all for what suits the banks, and bitcoin def does not suit the banks. Trump on the other hand seems to care about individual liberty
I think trump is more in side of bitcoin and may lossen law against bitcoin and he may also invest some of his coins in bitcoin. Clinton seems really in middle of lots of loads so she may barely know even about bitcoin.
I have read in the news if trump will support bitcoin but i don't know what he say right or not or maybe this is only for campaign.
I hope so, if trump will support bitcoin after he wins the president campaign, bitcoin will go to the moon, and we love him more.
I don't see how either party will support or back Bitcoin. Last year I remember Rick Perry being in support for Bitcoin by actually mentioning about it, but I don't see either Clinton or Trump being in favor of it unless they officially tell it themselves that it's beneficial for all. I hope Bitcoin is considered as a legal form of currency by whomever elected to be President.
I just looked a little bit around, and from the first few articles I could find, Clinton would support bitcoin and the blockchain technology.
But a trump election might boost the price even more, not because of his support to bitcoin but more because of the way he would change foreign and economic politics.
What he actually thinks about bitcoin I could not find out.
But since a lot of mining farms are in China and his statements about China were not too friendly, I would not expect much support from his side.

It's very interesting question for Americans, but it's also good question for bitcoins user, cause currency can become legal there very very soon.
Bitcoin might not be in the president's list of important matters at present, but it will be in 2024, two elections from now.
Digital currencies would have grown wings by then.

Both lean towards protectionism so the chances are slim for either party endorsing bitcoin in the fashion we would want to see here.
Hilary has the greater chance of actually attacking bitcoin I would think due to her contributions toward her war chest coming from vested interests.
Would not expect either to forward bitcoin in the long run.

Neither Clinton or Trump will back Bitcoin. They will have much more trouble - let's remember, that US have very high debt from many countries, so they will have what to think, when they will be in the White House. Bitcoin have only small niche in whole FIAT world. 
I think in the next few years will allow the US president to build a market economy bitcoin. US as a country would want to be a pioneer of the development of a financial system that is renewable. they want to remain a superpower country.
Clinton already backing bitcoin.
How do you think she pays ISIS fighters created and nurtured under her supervision?

If anyone would endorse it it would be Jill Stein or Gary Johnson.
Gary Johnson doesn't know what Aleppo is, I doubt is he can actually back anything other than is lawn mower into the garage.I wouldn't go as far to say that he endorses Bitcoin, but it's at least noteworthy.

i think not. bitcoin has some criminal fame...like it's used to buy arms and drugs..so it's PR risk

this is an interesting question, since the next 5 years might be big for bitcoin and a us president backing it might play a role in it, but right know i do not think it is on the radar. and as they have many advisers it is hard to answer the question. but as always in politics if the time is right and it will be discussed, then they will make a decision based on the question "does backing help me win votes?".
The candidate that will support it the most is Gary Johnson (Libertarian).
He's also the most qualified candidate...isn't being investigated for illegal activity, hasn't been caught in a lie about his public affairs, doesn't come across as a self-entitled ass, the list goes on but I'll digress.
What do you mean by "back". Do you mean promote? Advance the acceptance of? Or do you mean not be an enemy to bitcoin. I don't think Clinton or Trump know anything about bitcoin, let alone would they understand or appreciate it. So as long as they're not trying to limit the use of bitcoin, their essential backing it.
But I never see Gary john is like the another candidate is always appearing on the media and I think Gary is not included in the candidate at this time, sorry if I'm wrong but that is according to my brain, because to rarely for finding Gary johnson in media in this time.He's also the most qualified candidate...isn't being investigated for illegal activity, hasn't been caught in a lie about his public affairs, doesn't come across as a self-entitled ass, the list goes on but I'll digress.

And Gary is a candidate who is accept bitcoin donation in his campaign?
He's a candidate but he will never win.

Gary Johnson doesn't know what Aleppo is, I doubt is he can actually back anything other than is lawn mower into the garage. None of them will back Bitcoin. And I really hope Bitcoin will never be in a position of needing backing by politicians. That's the case for fiat money. Bitcoin is backed by strong cryptography and I think it is highly important that development focuses on security. In my opinion we also need improvements regarding the privacy of transactions (stealth transactions if possible), otherwise with government sponsored blockchain analysis and blacklisting, Bitcoin's fungibility and thus the whole currency could be at risk.
I think, when governments realize that the age of the fiat Ponzi is coming to an end, they will desperately fight against all alternatives, because the fiat debt system is their main source of power. Bitcoin must be prepared for that.
ya.ya.yo!
I secondly agree with you...I don't think bitcoin backed by any political candidates or aspirate, security and focus is needed..
