Yup, is 50/50 chance deserved to be discussed. It's like you will have one or another at similar probability.

About past activities of Trump in cryptocurrency engagement, it's not new and we don't need to wait till his latest interview to know what he did with things in cryptocurrency industry. Maybe some people knew about it and most of them are people who have been in this space a long time, at least last several years in last market cycle; but some people did not know about it before the interview. They are more probably new cryptocurrency participants who have been joining since 2023 when the bear market came to ending and started its warm up for 2024 and 2025 bull run.

It's documented and not new, except newbies in this market.

I don't see impacts of Trump approach and regulation in his next presidency, if he gets elected, is terrible for Bitcoin. With my vision as Bitcoin and altcoins will co-exist and grow together, I see no bad thing from Trump's next regulations, if he will be in the White House again.

Almost like a flip of a coin. Six of one or half dozen of the other. Even steven. A tossup.



While there was speculation about what Trump would do, this news broke yesterday and this was the first that anybody knew about Trump's plans to create his own coin publicly.



Absolutely. But none have a good chance of being President of the United States, with absolute control of their party and a voter mandate to operate above the law.



Certainly there will be no bad things for Trump's coin. As for the rest of the market, well, who knows. Anything that gets in the way of Trump's coin being the most valuable in the world will obviously be a target for US regulators.


Why not? Remember that Trump tried to overthrow the US government and his voters don't care: they are going to try to reelect him because of his disregard for US laws.

Trump has been indicted on over 100 criminal counts, and they will all be dropped if he wins the presidency. For somebody like this, the law is absolutely meaningless.



So you don't think the president announcing a crackdown on Bitcoin would effect the price? Seriously?

And the US absolutely is a crypto-friendly environment. I'm not sure what else he or any other president could do short of using the US federal governemnt to specifically pumping a certain coin e.g. Bitcoin or Trump's coin.



It actually wouldn't be that simple, as any sundry dictator across the world could tell you: a direct crackdown on property rights like that would sink the markets and be counter-productive. The most lucrative thing for Trump would be much more subtle, e.g. enabling his own crypto and denigrating the others.

I have personal experience "competing" with the CPC years ago. They didn't just directly steal our product because they didn't have to--and doing so would have scared away other companies from investing there. China simply passed innocuous-sounding laws that greatly advantaged our CPC-controlled competitor, and disadvantaged us. In just a few years, our product in China was toast, and 90% replaced by the CPC-supported product. We eventually pulled out of China because there was no way to "compete" against the government there.

In the case of Bitcoin, it will be much more volatile since almost the entirety of the market price will hang on US regulations since so much of Bitcoin is owned by US-based holders. Michael Saylor could easily be convinced to support Trump's coin and sell all of his Bitcoin if the price was right (he'd suddenly find all kinds of tax advantages for doing so, or maybe the DOJ investigation suddenly launched against him would magically go away). The same goes for Musk and all of the other billionaire Bitcoin whales. All of those guys are just in it for the pump-and-dump, and Trump could easily offer them a much better deal if he has the US government on his side.

I don’t believe that Trump could crash the price of Bitcoin by 90% with a late night tweet. If he could, he would’ve done so and made a ton of profit already. I think politicians know that if they try to fight Bitcoin, they will lose and it will look terrible for them and their government. I also think that would only increase the value of Bitcoin…

If Trump could plummet the price of Bitcoin, then let him be my guest. It'd be a gift from God for me to have the chance to buy Bitcoin at $6000. The unrealized damage would shake most hands, but the future of Bitcoin is inevitable, and if you're convinced, like I am, shouldn't worry you too much, beyond being incapable to liquidate your holdings for a lot of time, in case of an emergency.

LOL, okay, you think Putin is secretly controlled by "people" who tell him what to do. And I presume they tell him to throw anybody who doesn't agree with Putin out a hotel window. And they told Putin to make that helicopter crash with that dissenting general. And they told Putin to invade Ukraine.

And these "people" are, of course, 100% pro-Bitcoin and would never let anything bad happen to it.

That's some amazing stuff right there. I mean, usually we hear non-stop conspiracy theories here about how "people" are secretly against Bitcoin and secretly need to stop it because it... upsets the Illuminati's need to control the world through the US dollar and interest rates (or something). This is the first time I've heard of a world-wide conspiracy to protect Bitcoin. That's a new one .

Anyhow, back here on Earth, Putin absolutely controls Russia and its nuclear stockpile, and Trump absolutely controls one half of the US political system, and he will absolutely control the US government if he wins, and the US government will respond to it's political leadership not a secret cabal of jewish people (their space-lasers notwithstanding), child-eating cannibals, or whatever else. There are no secret conspiracies--the truth is actually a lot more boring than most people want to believe...

Let us not focus more in bringing politics in bitcoin, because bitcoin is a decentralized currency, also, we need to make sure that bitcoin is what we should recognized as part of what we needed to attain some level of achievements in life.

Trump may win and support for bitcoin and if he doesn't, will he still remain on this same ground that he is currently on with bitcoin, some will only use bitcoin in other for them to achieve their ambition and disguise they never have passion on it before, we only need to keep our fingers cross.

1. Whatever shitcoin Trump creates cannot directly compete with Bitcoin because it would be centralized.

2. Trump's presidency doesn't have a "huge, huge implications for the future of Bitcoin." It's immaterial to the future of Bitcoin.

3. Trump, as with any other US president, doesn't actually have a "complete control of the US government". The truth is that governments are under the control of the elites who aren't even into politics.

4. 3 years ago, Trump called Bitcoin a scam. The price of Bitcoin didn't retreat. On the contrary, a week later, $5,000 was added to its price.

Do you really think investors will flood towards a centralized probably shitcoin coin over a decentralized digital asset as bitcoin? No, I don't really think so. Maybe we are just taking this Trump-bitcoin of a thing too far to even assume that Trump could successfully launch a coin that will plummet bitcoin to a 90%  fall is very much unthinkable. Trump and his political ambition will come and go but bitcoin ecosystem will still remain.

Trump doesn't own the US and even if he becomes the president there are still limits to policies and decisions he can take because from what I understand even those that controls the economy of the US aren't equally politicians. And in any society those that have economic influence does also greatly influence what political decisions and actions are to be formulated and implemented.

He only stated, and in my view that's a statement any US citizen can freely make but that doesn't give him/her ownership. He Trump was once the president and he couldn't own the US then, what now makes anyone to think he achieve that now? Cause am not sure he can do that at this point. Something about Trump is that he talks much without caring on who's listening.
