Bitcoin Forum

So with his New Hampshire win, The Donald has solidified his place as the front runner for the Republican nomination for president. Has he ever stated any of his thoughts/ideas/position on Bitcoin ever? I've not been able to find anything on the google.

He is anti-establishment and has very strong ideas on border control, illegal immigration, repealing obamacare and fighting ISIS/terrorism and creating jobs/growing the economy.

Anyone have any ideas on what his stance on bitcoin might be?

Nothing will be changed bitcoin is not interesting for the. ::)
Future of bitcoin can be in danger if NSA declare BTC as money laundering system.

Since he's a conservative and supports conservative ideia (and is probably backed up by financial institutions), I believe his stance on bitcoin will be definitely against it.

I honestly doubt any republican would ever support the concept, since banks are among the main donators for their campaigns.

Did he ever say anything about bitcoin? any link quote?

Donald Trump loves money.  

All money is money*.

Donald Trump has no 'donators'.  

Clearly, Donald Trump is your man if you like Bitcoin.  Vote early, vote often!  Vote Trump!



*thanks 50 cent!

Trump is a joke, I wonder how can people still take anything he does seriously. He would never embrace a disruptive technology as bitcoin.

False.

He would never do that, that would mean there would be massive financial support to his opponents from corporations that do not want bitcoin to develop.

Even someone like Donald Trump cannot afford to run for president by himself. It would badly hurt his wealth and would not be worth it. Maybe he funded the start by himself, but when things got more serious, ofcourse he found donators for his campaign.

You obviously don't know much about Donald Trump.

His net worth is well over $4 billion. If he spent $200 million on his campaign, which he doesn't need to do, it would cost him 5% of his net worth. A years worth of interest, basically.

I know Trump is anti-establishment and he seems to hate Wallstreet, but that doesn't mean he will like Bitcoin.
Would be really interesting to know what he thinks about it, however my gut feeling is not a good one.

How come a billionaire is anti-establishment? This is all just branding to reach for a larger political spectrum... beware, Trump is much closer to radical conservatives than to anti-establishment politics.

Wow didn't know Trump would do those, but I guess you don't know that in the Obama regime, unemployment rate is at 4.9% one of the lowest in the USA, medium wager per hour is 34.2 USD and medium monthly payment 5000 USD and a bit. Get out of the way Republicans, no one has worked better than Obama in the economy and I base my opinion on facts like the ones stated. Stop promoting an idiot like Trump , oh yeah I hate him since his stupid TV shows, where he says You are Fired. Trump you are fired now, I have always wanted to say it and this forum is my possibility to do so.

Nice post, I also think he's an idiot and would jeopardize everything Obama has managed to do for the economy. I don't see a guy like him admitting bitcoin, ever.

Donald Trump, if he does end up winning, probably won't care all that much about Bitcoin. Technically it can be viewed as a capitalist/libertarian venture, and thus doesn't go directly against any of his political stances.

I haven't been watching Trump enough to care really figure out what he will be for and against, but I would assume that Bitcoin is not a major issue for him.

Why do people talk about this idiot here? i though only stupid people wanted to vote for him, and here we had a community of intelligent people...

He could buy quite a lot of BTC. Will he accept Bitcoin? I have no idea because I cannot figure his real intentions.

First of I don't think he'll win the elections, but let's imagine he wiil. Then that depends not on him because I think he has no idea what Bitcoin is but rather on some people from his team and those people might be quite smart because he can afford to hire smart people.

Trump would say something about not having time for some loser idea when he is busy building a wall around the Country.

Agreed. Why talk about that nuisance candidate here when he only thinks about himself and his idiocy? Even if he endorse or introduce bitcoin together with his candidacy, that wouldn't do bitcoin any good, but harm in itself in actuality.

i dont think he really concern about bitcoin,because he not yet become president,and i dont like Trump,just because he hate islam.

Why? because he's the current front runner for the republican presidential nomination - at least for now. And as such, there is a real, albeit a far from now possibility, that he might end up in the White House. I was just curious if anyone knew what his stance on bitcoin was.

A little off topic, but what exactly is your reasoning behind your thought that "...only stupid people wanted to vote for him"? Just curious.

I don't trust the guy.

He has a double agenda...

He probably won't be able to comprehend it / leave it to the NSA.

Rand Paul was accepting Bitcoin donations for runnig his campaign.

And also participated in Bitcoin related events.

i would make the same guess. hes the biggest morron ever he would never understand or even care what bitcoins is.

Gentlemen I give you TRUMPCHAIN: https://twitter.com/trumpchain

Even I agree here. His opinion also would be against it as bitcoins are used for moneylaundering and if he supports it, it would be favoring the risks associated with it.

Donald Trump is money
Money is donald Trump
Vote Trump  :) :) :)

I started a year ago laughing when he decided to run and kinda brushed
it off as a joke.

But he has really picked up steam and could actually give this a run

Kinda scary lol....But at least he is more entertaining than usual politicians

Exactly the same, when things get changed due to the growth of bitcoin, a financial backing will be faced by the banking sectors. So this won't be accepted and definitely will oppose it.

I have not read much about his opinion but on Facebook they spread a rumor that he accepts bitcoins as USA's currency which I believe is untrue. Also, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks about bitcoins but whether it is adopted by the Government as a whole or not.

And having too much money gives him too much power right? Do you think he will just spread his wealth among all the US citizens if he gets elected?   :P

I guess you don't read these forums much.  This place is chock full of moronic idiots.

Donald Trump is a tool, he is just a big narcissist showoff, I can't believe people support him for real. Im not saying the alternatives are much better, but making that guy the president of the US? C'mon, give me a break.

I acknowledge the fact that Trump is filthy rich but I have never admired any of his ideas at all. The US might end up having the worst president of all if they elect Trump. Being loyal to the dollars, Trump will try everything at his disposal to curtail the Bitcoin dominance.

I don't think the government can make bitcoin illegal because they auctioned off the silk road bitcoins to the public.  They don't auction off illegal goods.  They may try to regulate it though.

I really can't believe someone is actually seriously thinking about voting for this guy. This guy is a joke and a threat to world peace!

I think anyway that he has some Bitcoins. he is in fact so rich that he invests in it.
I also think he's for Bitcoins.

Guys, Donald Trump's net wealth is larger than the whole BTC's market cap. So I guess he just sees BTC as small beer. Real estate at his level is very big business. When you are where he is, you don't look much at what's below. I don't think bitcoiners shall fear Trump, he just doesn't care about us.

How many republicans have you actually spoken to on the topic? How do they compare with democrats you have spoken to on the topic?

Trump follows good investments, if Bitcoin is the frontrunner of the economy Trump will follow. This is just my opinion, i have no data to back this up.

Yeah, because this world lead by Obama is so peaceful.  We wouldn't want to threaten the peace that is stirring about these days.

Most likely you are right. Maybe "he has no heart" like some of his opponents say, but he definitely knows what is worth investing in. So I think he would support Bitcoin in case he's elected, but I don't think he will be elected.

Bitcoin was a good investment at $10-$50 at the current valuation this is not something a mega rich billionaire gives a turd about or would class as a good investment :) Maybe investing in his own crypto would be a possibility but doubtful and it is unlikely he will care about Bitcoin, unless a 3 letter agency puts in on his radar to be dealt with of course. Again doubtful.

I don't remember that Mr Trump ever said anything about bitcoin or about any other digital currency but keeping inview of his conservative thoughts one can predict that he may not appreciate bitcoins.
