Is this for real? Do you have any relevant links? It is certainly a nice gag.

I do not know if this is a good idea to taunt a person who might end up making crucial decisions about Bitcoin, once he takes office in the White House.  ??? We have debated

this on here, and we have seen no public statement from him towards his views on Crypto currencies. People are cracking jokes about these planned walls and I am also against

this, but history has shown that no walls stand the test of time. Example : Great Wall of China or The Berlin Wall.  ;) .... It only serve as a temporary fix.

I actually think the picture said the truth, that even if trump built a wall or do some drastic decision, he still has no total control over bitcoin. Supposed that he decide to ban bitcoin, it'll make btc world limping for certain period, but then btc will still rise. I think bitcoin's decentralized system has causing people to have total freedom. For example, there are some countries thats ban their citizen to operate and distribute btc at certain level, but it doesn't seems to stop their citizen from using and enjoying the total privilege of btc.

It can be photoshopped though.

It would be better if somebody would have videotaped it, and put it on youtube.

The comment reactions would be funny.

It's not about the physical wall , this is about Trump's project to stop all remittance between US and Mexico, but I don't think it could be done. Money has flowing freely for more than a century, and they are regulations not even a president can change.

Will attract the people we want to grow bitcoin through with more open minds than building walls to keep the world out.
Better ways of dealing with issues like ending the war on drugs and allowing these Countries to develop instead of meddling.

I don't really understand this. Has Trump said anything that is directly related to Bitcoin? Or this is maybe something that has to do with the declarations he made about how he is going to put currency control against Mexican borders?

That is exactly what it is about. From the people who brought you the Jamie Diamond billboard.

To spread the word with a new campaign raising awareness of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency miner Genesis Mining has taken out billboards that can be spotted in California over the following weeks, as a part of its #ExploreBitcoin campaign.
Found this about it there is an ungoing campaign #ExploreBitcoin

I think this billboard is real. This is from Genesis Mining's blog : http://blog.genesis-mining.com/a-bitcoin-use-case-donald-trumps-wall  ;D They have done this kind of provocative advertisement before. It's surely a great way of diverting people's attention to Bitcoin. I don't sympathize with Trump at all I think he will be a step back for the USA if he gets elected for president.

I think if anything, it might peak some interest and cause a number of people from various sides to look into this bitcoin thing and what this message is about. Best case scenario would be the mainstream media picking this story up and running with it, seeing as how how it involves The Donald and one of his incendiary platform issues.

This would be great for more of bitcoin exposure and being talked about in the mainstream media and among the masses. The media is so quick to demonize Trump, that they may even end up putting a positive spin on bitcoin, who knows. One can dream, right?

"Them" as in trump's team? I strongly think they have know or at least heard about it. Bitcoin has a strong position on internet and its almost impossible that trump's team never heard about it. But, whether they choose to ignore btc or embrace it, its a completely different case.

All due respect but Trump can't stop the flow of remittances leaving the USA for Mexico. Whatever restrictions he is trying to build people will always find a way to circumvent this. The Mexicans living in the USA are earning their money in a honest way then why aren't they free to do with it as they please? This is a great advertisement for Bitcoin because it promotes freedom of people's money.

If it is so, then that is a great thing. Bitcoin lacks advertising in general. Have you ever encountered a Bitcoin-related AD? I know that I haven't. Pulling one on Trump makes it even better.

I'm sure Clinton espoused the virtues of Bitcoin in her last paid lecture for Wall St. bankers. GG knobs, LOL... However, an actual poster billboard in a prime location would be more impressive than a few seconds on a giant TV screen setup in a ghetto section of town IMO.

Also cloud mining is a fucking ponzi scam, not surprising to see kid of support for the fiat bankers candidate from Genesis Mining.

Yeah, touché Lauda, publicity for BTC is a good thing.  Pointing out Bitcoin's highest and most useful role (avoiding capital controls) will get more people thinking about our economic freedom.

But, I doubt that Mexican immigrants and Mexican infrastructure (in MX) is ready for wholesale adoption of Bitcoin.  That will not happen for some time.

To my knowledge, Trump has not come out against Bitcoin.  But, a hard crackdown on BTC and its ecosystem might be very damaging.  .Govis very powerful when it decides to crack down...
