As a politician to regain his power, he might bluff which is understood. What I cannot swallow he is planning to use Bitcoin as a way to reduce the debt. Is not what Bitcoin was meant to do to counter USD and create a world free of it. It is not going to happen and we will see Bitcoin being used to fed the USD debt which all pf you would endorse till today. They have already got those Bitcoin with ways that I think will be an end tp BTC.

Is not that what is known as a bluff when there is not a lot of Bitcoin in circulation? I would love to see whether this guy is able to remove the 35 trillion debt by selling the Bitcoin seized or being held through the approved ETFs.


He is known to blabber but he did make America stronger than it was before Biden came into power 

I recently had an acquaintance tell me an anecdote about Trump.

"Trump dies, he is met by angels in the sky and told that he has worked hard for his country and has a choice of where to go to live. He is given a choice to live a day in hell and a day in heaven and then Trump will have a choice of where he will live forever.

First, Trump decides to see a place in Hell.  There is a lot of fire, there is a celebration going on, he meets a lot of his friends, everyone is drinking whatever they want, dancing. He spends a day in Hell and is taken by his angels to Paradise.

In Paradise it is beautiful, the sun shines, houses of gold and silver, but it is boring, and his acquaintances are not there.

The day is over and the angels ask Trump what place he chooses.
He chooses Hell because his acquaintances are there and it's fun.

He is sent to Hell and as soon as he gets there he sees that there is a lot of fire and all the inhabitants are suffering a lot.
Trump is outraged and says he was tricked, but they tell him he wasn't tricked. The day before yesterday there was an election campaign in Hell to elect a chief demon, When he was in Heaven there was an election.
And today the election is over.. "

Read all the replies and thank you guys for contributing to this thread. In reality I also do no think that selling Bitcoin can solve the US debt problem. He might have said it as a joke but he looks confident when dealing with those who are not allowing Bitcoin to thrive. As a matter of fact the media outlets did post that SEC chairman would resign from his post in 2025 before he saying that he will fire him after being elected. I also feel it is a bluff to satisfy the media

@pakhitheboss. I am supportive, however, I am skeptical. I have mentioned this before, we will only witness a real procrypto government if the Trump administration will do these 4 policies.

1. They will stop their cases against Uniswap and Coinbase.
2. The SEC will create clear guidelines in what is an illegal security and what is a commodity.
3. They create new KYC rules because their old rules have been difficult for the people in the cryptospace.
4. They will stop treating the Tornado Cash founders and other developers of privacy software very much like criminals.

I often read The Personality Profile and Leadership Style of U.S. President Donald J. Trump., for example:

From the quote above, we can conclude that Trump is not playing around with his words, his character is legally aggressive, he is brave in making decisions and competitive.
meaning: if he says something he will do it, so I don't think it's a bluff, if he becomes president he really does it.

Your question was answered from Donald J. Trump's personal data, whether it was a bluff or actually came true, I think it was really done.

Telling everyone during a speech about this paying the national debt dream with bitcoin might have tricked people on 2015 where many bitcoiners were very much naive, however, presently the community is very skeptical. This promise is very headshaking and this might have an opposite reaction from people and cause them to be more skeptical on Trump.

In any case, if an administration cannot give no.3 and no.4, I reckon that it is not a real procrypto government.

This looks really funny. With all the desire the U.S. can not make bitcoin centralized without changing the algorithm, and even if all U.S. pools will adhere to the sanctions, the Russian pools will not comply with these sanctions.

While Trump's chance of getting elected remains high, I actually think it's lower now that Biden dropped out, that the Democrats have a decent candidate. In any case, I think Trump is primarily a very pragmatic person. Pragmatism as a philosophical approach was actually developed in the US in the previous century, so it's not surprising that political leaders follow it. What I mean is that Trump will do what he will believe is in his best interest to do to have the support of the people. Right now, the goal is to win the election. If he doesn't win, pushing for pro-crypto policies will no longer be in his interest, so I think he won't do it. But if he wins, he might stick with it if it ends up being important to a very significant part of his electorate.
