Bitcoin Forum

A week ago: https://news.bitcoin.com/donald-trump-crypto-very-dangerous-warns-of-explosion/

Donald Trump commented on cryptocurrency ... in an interview with Maria Bartiromo over the [last] weekend:
“What do you think about crypto?” Trump was asked. Bartiromo noted that “New York and Miami are really getting cryptocurrency into their financial systems.” The former U.S. president reiterated his anti-crypto stance: “Well, I never loved it because I like to have the dollar. I think the currency should be the dollar so I was never a big fan. But it’s spilling up bigger and bigger, and nobody is doing anything about it.”

Trump has never been a fan of crypto. In August, he predicted that cryptocurrencies are “a disaster (https://news.bitcoin.com/former-us-president-donald-trump-cryptocurrencies-a-disaster-waiting-to-happen/) waiting to happen.” In June, he called bitcoin a scam (https://news.bitcoin.com/donald-trump-bitcoin-btc-scam-heavy-crypto-regulation/) that needs heavy regulation.


... but ...


Melania Trump announced the launch of her own NFT platform as well as her first NFT “Melania’s Vision”. The platform is based on Solana ...   source (https://bitcoinist.com/melanias-vision-nft-launch-trumps-artful-manipulation/)
https://melaniatrump.com/nft (https://melaniatrump.com/nft)

And Trump was also asked about the former first lady’s non-fungible token (NFT) endeavor: Commenting on his wife’s NFT plans, Trump said: “She’s going to do great …"

 ???

I hope that he knows, that NFTs are on crypto blockchains.

If I could get a dollar for every comments, tweet and so one made my Donald trump that k didn't agree to I would have probably been a billionaire by now, Donald trump has never supported or agreed with crypto-currency or liked it in any way so I don't even take any of his comment concerning crypto-currency seriously, I believe he is learned and also has learned people surrounding him but it's clear he has made is a priority not to support crypto-currency or like it in any way.

Business people keeps many things more confidential. To the outer world he is in a situation to take a stand against bitcoin and support dollar. If not, this itself will get turned to be a big controversy. For sure he'll be having bitcoin in his portfolio, and these high profile people always keep themselves updated with the technology. This is what we can see through the launch of Melani's NFT through the Solana platform.

Soon we can see Donald Trump talking positive on bitcoin :)

Donald Trump also made his entire career out of making the dollar what it is. He has been saying since he was young that he wanted the dollar to be the global reserve currency.

So to see him making comments such as these is not surprising.

I'm sure he won't have a problem with our dollar CBDC.

For sure he knows but as his husband and youre wife is doing something out of his interest then would you do make out some negative words or being against with it? For sure you would say the same
even though it do looks contradictory on what you have said against crypto in the past until the present but if this one really turns out  that he's isnt aware about NFT's then
sooner or later he would really be knowing that it is still connected to cryptocurrency which he do hate or dont like the most. Im not surprised that
he would really be having these kind of sentiments which on someone who do support USD the most.

I do not know if you remember what happened in the run up to the election of Donald Trump? He was not against Bitcoin back then.. he even appointed people that was pro-Bitcoin back then.

So ask yourself ..What happened since then? Well the former first lady has announced the launch of her own NFT platform... so he might be trying to eliminate the competition? (or to reduce the support for Bitcoin from his supporters)  ::)

After all, Trump is not as cool as when he was president. This is natural for the preacher to say because even when he is ministering his words are never right. The character of a Trump is like that. No wonder he is not crypto friendly, but his wife runs a project which is based in crypto. Perhaps outside of Trump's watch, his wife regularly monitors Twitter and sees all the actresses and influencers admiring crypto so she is interested in being known more. Luckily he didn't say Bitcoin.

When it comes to politics... an angel could be a devil so  do words... an A could be O depends on the circumstances , at this case trump wife doing O while trump has stated A few years ago lol kind of funny shit ... 'shes's going to do great' , bullshit of the year.
Trump invested in crypto , we just dont know. his wife NFT at least must be come from his pocket though.

Trump and milenia might be misunderstood about the whole crypto concept, they just know that bitcoin are dengerous but not with the NFT thing lol.

So he is trying to manipulate the media and stuff so that he can elevate the mood of fan followers of his wife, lolz. That’s might be a negative marketing strategy but it’s not cool when trump is saying it or doing. I just think that Trump has misunderstood everything about crypto, and he is just trying to protect the dollar because it’s traditional and it is the era of dollar for him since he saw it for the first time.

However he does not have that much strong influence on the community. Neither his wife will recieve much of the attention for this not home himself. But good read anyways.

1. It doesn't matter. What he declares and what he does are not the same. Never were.
And he doesn't care. At the end of the day, all he cares about is if this "thing" gets him profit. In dollars, obviously.

2. What does all this have to do with Bitcoin?!

Lol. What a hypocrite. He is willing to praise BTC and other cryptocurrencies as long as he stands to benefit from them which isn't really surprising considering the fact that he is a money-hungry snob.

Honestly, I find someone like him calling crypto dangerous hilarious. The man is the epitome of danger and we all know why. As they say, very few people truly change in this world.

He might actually end up joining the NFT bandwagon soon in order to rake in some quick profits too in my opinion.

Donald Trump Detests Bitcoin, Calls BTC a Scam, Wants Heavy Crypto Regulation
https://news.bitcoin.com/donald-trump-bitcoin-btc-scam-heavy-crypto-regulation/ (https://news.bitcoin.com/donald-trump-bitcoin-btc-scam-heavy-crypto-regulation/)

1. This discussion is about NFTs, not about Bitcoin.
2. Trump said this or that about Bitcoin. So what? Politicians do say things. They usually don't mean shit.
3. whatever(dot)bitcoin(dot)com is on bcasher's website. Including the newspaper. You could find better sources.

That is so funny! ;D ;D ;D

In other words: do as I say, not as I do!

I remember that. It was in 2016, crypto market even reacted well to his victory and there was a lot of hope he could be one of the first world's leaders to start talking about bitcoin in a positive way.

But actually since before the launchment of his wife's NFT platform he is against bitcoin, so I think when he talked positively about the digital currency back in 2016 it was just part of his propaganda to endorse anything the establishment was against, in order to enforce his position as an outsider and savior of american people from the bureaucrats and the fake news media.

The source doesn't matter in this case.

You got it.

He is indeed still very vocal when he talks about bitcoin and the reason is still the same as at the beginning because he still thinks that bitcoin will make the dollar weaken.
On the other hand, talking about NFT, I think he already knows because it's impossible that he doesn't know but there is a reason because it's impossible for him to drop a product created by his family even though he doesn't like it but that doesn't mean he has the right to ban others.
and he already understands business more than others I think :D

That's a little bit surprising to see all those republicans afraid of Bitcoin just because it could harm their national currency, the US Dollar. If they are true liberals why are they afraid about an innovation? Bitcoin will only weaken USD if it is stronger than it. That's it.

Opinions are like assholes; everyone has one.

It's a scam/fraud/conspiracy to him, yeah. Who the hell knows what he's done in a non-regulatory way, but bitcoin? Nah, for criminals. Basically, they keep saying the same thing all these years; don't buy bitcoin 'cause you're a criminal if we can't regulate you.

Screw you and your dollars. Even if I'm not fully agreed with free markets, at least they're honest.

Donald Trump is a circus clown, liar and manipulator like most (if not all) modern politicians, and he should not be listened about anything including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
I am not going to talk about NFT's that are mostly just creating noise for bitcoin, and Trump's wife can do whatever she wants with that, maybe she want to earn something and brag to her husband later.

Ah I couldnt be bothered what Trump thinks about Crypto, as posted above he only
cares about his "bank balance" and if he thinks it can make a profit for him
he will appoint someone to make it for him.

Melania knows where the money is at and is engaging in NFT's, so funny though
that Donald is all positive about her venture, he hasnt a clue.

To be completely honest, I do not think that Trump actually knows anything- like he reads and talks with his mouth rather than his mind. This lead to a series of contradicting claims in which his previous messages do not reflect his current actions. That is also the reason on why most Americans despise him as a President and as an individual also.

Again like you mentioned, I would not trust any of his statements given all the previous records he held. Even with his statement where he considered cryptocurrency as "dangerous", again, I doubt that he has an idea of what he is talking about.

Oh he knows what NFTs are and he knows what crypto is, he may be an irritating fool, but he's not a dumbo fool. He's taking something on the side by lobbying for the usual monetary suspects but also dipping his toes into crypto. But the pressing issue here is not if he knows what crypto is, but rather why are we still asking him his opinion on matters? Do we really care what he thinks?

Donald Trump is a very controversial figure. So, as a precaution, I wouldn't take what he says very seriously because he has no fact to back up his claims. That you don't feel good about something doesn't necessarily mean that that thing is bad, it may be that your thinking is faulty and based on ignorance. So, I am not bothered about how he feels about crypto, because it is really inconsequential.

Hope y'all follow your hunches and inner thoughts.
Look deep in yourself for guidance about it, if you're too confused to ask a pro.
Every one has got his/her opinion.
Do well to keep abreast with the current trends, technology and techniques, I think cryptocurrency is one of this then.

when I first heard about his wife issuing NFT, I was thinking hard whether their relationship is safe, whether her husband doesn't know that NFT is a crypto ecosystem too LOL

these two people are very funny, especially trump who is never funny, hopefully in the future his wife sells NFT which is in the form of a trump duck

In short, he is not the right person to inquire about crypto or be the resource person on this matter.
Maybe, later on, he will realize that NFT-collectibles are using blockchain tech and he may change his mind on this market if Melania's NFT will do great.
Crypto is very dangerous for people who are getting on board without doing any study or research.
If they don't know what they are getting into, for sure, this market can screw up their funds badly.

The world is changing, people are changing, condition maybe also changing.
It is about money and chance.
I personally believe that rich people will not let or miss every condition to earn profits, moreover jigh profits.
We now that Trump may have certain goals when saying bla bla bla..
And now, he will also have certain goals when his wife is going to  create NFT.
And, he may change his opinion, maybe
We know, everyone needs money.
He may not use crypto as a currency because he loves dollar. But we don't know if he loves crypto as investment that can also be turned into dollars again after taking profits.  ;D

Sudden u-turn could be possible and we know that people do really changed on what they had told in the past might turn out to be positive in near future but dont anticipate but there would be some probabilities.
Trump says crypto is dangerous but his wife engaged on NFT which is indeed part of crypto ecosystem. For sure they would be talking about it on their bedroom on why the heck
his wife been dealing with that.

Sad that it needed for Him to lose the election first before realizing the true Value of cryptocurrencies .

and now that His Wife is getting inside then what can we expect in the following statement of the former president of America?

but this is a good sign of adjusting from a Not so Fan to releasing such good comment now.

Thank you former president .

Out of that, I remember my dad saying to me that if you do not know about something, that can be dangerous for you. But if you want to learn and try to understand that "thing," maybe not be too dangerous for you, which can benefit you someday. Do not see just from the cover but try to see what is inside of that thing so you will know how you can use it for yourself and hopefully, you will get goodness for yourself.

I do not care with others say about crypto because I just thought that they do not know yet about crypto so they said like that. But if they can see the benefit of crypto, I am sure they will try to use it and get the benefit for themselves.

I'm not sure what the significant of this clown is. He is now just a stain in history and has no significance other than being a "celebrity" with some brainless supporters. The fact that they are trying to scam lots of people through the main scam method in cryptocurrency world known as "token creation" shows the depth of shitiness of NFTs and the fact that the only one term president in history cares more about his pockets than anything else. :D

To me this is yet another example of the saying "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em". We have seen a few examples already in this cycle, of bankers and people from the world of finance who a few years ago were saying that Bitcoin had no future, if not outright saying a scam, and today have turned into Bitcoin believers even giving predictions for the price of Bitcoin at the end of this year much higher than the price we are at now.

And many more that we will continue to see.

Trump also wasn't a very big supporter of the COVID vaccination,but now he is vaccinated and he supports COVID vaccination. ;D
Trump was hating on China and the "Chinese flu",but he was(and probably still is) doing business in China. ;D
What Trump says and what he is doing are two completely different things(sometimes it can be quite the opposite).
I wouldn't be surprised,if he secretly owns cryptocurrencies.
By the way,aren't Trump and Melania separated? ;D

I am sure Trump doesn't know a lot of cryptos and its underlying technology. Otherwise he would have said the same for her wife's NFT platform. I mean it's ok not to like cryptos and be vocal about it. Warren Buffet did it, Jemie Dimon did it and Trump did it as well. Crypto market has now become immune from their comments and we are doing just fine without them.

Trump couldn't stop crypto during his time of presidential privileges and what else he would do now?

"crypto" is very dangerous because it's full of scams.

Bitcoin is a different thing though.

He's not less knowledgeable than most politicians mouthing off though. I'd at least say with him, you know what you get (what you hear is what you get). Well, not precisely, but his heart is on his lips, so to speak.

But why anyone would think what he or any American says is really going to affect the way we use Bitcoin, I never really get.

P.S. I do think using crypto is dangerous for most people, though probably not in the way this thread discusses.

I’ve checked the date a few times to make sure this isn’t some old thread, because Donald is as relevant at the moment as the snow that fell last year and melted a long time ago. His reign was from my perspective very satirical and at times comical, and we know that it ended bloodily with unseen scenes of his supporters.

Therefore, his opinion on Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies is completely meaningless, because he is just a businessman trying to make the most of everything - and I don't believe he didn't dip his fingers into crypto, as his wife does. Politicians are great hypocrites, and even greater are those exes who can't regret that they are no longer what they used to be.

We should be more worried about what Biden thinks about everything, but fortunately, he has some much more important problems than dealing with Bitcoin - although I don't believe that his opinion is too different from his predecessor.

He is right, cryptocurrencies ARE a disaster waiting to happen. Satoshi opened a Pandora’s Box, but it’s disaster to the legacy financial system, to the government, and to all those of intend to surpress freedom-loving people like us the plebs. What do we do? Buy the DIP, and? 8)

He knows, but he's just playing the double-game with reporters. Nothing new here.

Donald Trump is a product of his generation and times, but as soon as he sees a potential profit from blockchain and NFTs, he will jump right in. Actually, given that he may be strapped for cash, I wouldn't be shocked if he soon releases his own collection.

People like Donald Trump or others who are in official positions roles, often say these statements for a purpose. Every one of them completely understands crypto and may also invest in it, but publicly they deny the importance of bitcoin and always say negative statements about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Trump is/was funny. I miss twitter dude.

A businessman and politician like Donald Trump is just one of the people who I think will be the one who knows bitcoin or cryptocurrency in the early stages, I would not going to believe on the thought that he might not know about it, since his wife has an NFT project. I also think he just saying crypto is very dangerous is a kind of intentional statement and would like to gain public attention for his political career. However, I think his statement may not matter right now unlike Elon Musk who's his tweets has an impact on the crypto market. 

Trump says so many things and also likes to change his mind. We know better: in bitcoin we trust.

Now he comes with the Supreme Court. He doesn't want to share the documents related to the attack on the Capitol on 06 january. The lawsuit has already failed and now it goes to the Supreme Court. Many no longer take him seriously. I know there are many Trump fans, for them it looks different. They think he does everything right.

He just tried to warn people that crypto is a dangerous investment and it seems right. But I don't believe that he even ignore and not going to invest in Bitcoin. Coz if that he really insist, on being a businessman and a politician that is ridiculous. Even his wife knows about NFT and even going to create her own, which surely receives support from his husband and he knows for sure that it involves blockchain and crypto.

the reason is very simple, namely crypto, especially bitcoin, still cannot be regulated by the government in this case means the US financial system. he was very vocal in saying that the world's currency should be dollar-oriented and indeed bitcoin is one that cannot be regulated that's why he hates it so much.
i like his patriotic style who stays cool with his stance but on the other hand he will only be considered a passing wind when talking about crypto

Trumps hold no power and it's unclear if he'll even have a chance of becoming the president again, so for now it's completely irrelevant what he things, since he is incompetent in everything, including economics and monetary policy.

Trump was either lobbied by someone to take a stance against crypto, or he just saw it as some image of an enemy that could be used to rally more people for him.

Donald Trump I believe secretly own some bitcoin, you are anti-crypto, but your wife wants to make money from NFT and you say "it will be great" . We understand the direction of the pendulum already. I personally respect and love Trump but the master is wrong his postion about cyptocurrency.

What trump was referring is about decentralized bitcoin while his wife has launched something on centralized system, we need to understand that difference first. As a crypto enthusiastic I am fully aware of the fact that governments all around the world are in no favor of crypto and this trump statement is not something new.

I kinda miss the clown's tweets too. And I'm sure a lot of others are missing those too specially since he used to spill secret and top secret documents in his tweets damaging national security :D

Talking about Donald Trump or any other old rich man who got his money using the old and fiat financial system, they all believe the asset like bitcoin is worthless and got no value because it's not something that got its own value like gold, in short words they do not understand the technology and they should not they even like something like bitcoin when they got rich using the fiat money, so that's completely normal, however, some of them are spreading bad speaks against bitcoin but they are investing on it for themselves. On the other hand, Melania is his wife but she git her own personality and it's not surprising to see she got a different opinion regarding bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Didn't do much, but sure talked shit well.

But who still hear from this mad guy !?
For a greedy capitalist, decentralized technologies can be considered as a threat to his powers and authorities. And as the world is moving forward to adopt the technology, Mr Trump is still using popularism to evade the image again, now in the form of a stupid futurist.
At least, he announced his opinion for public, while govs and legislators work behind the scenes to reduce the damage brought by blockchain technology (cryptocurrencies in particular) over their businesses.

I don't think so  :D
Melanie lunched a centralized project for the simple reason to generate some extra profits.

Donald Trump has always been negative to bitcoin and crypto since he can't control it even when he was still in his power. And he never sees its worth and very high value because his focus was on accumulating huge amount of dollars, when in fact bitcoin has definitely a higher value than fiat.

However, with his wife's stand on NFT, if she will not be influenced with her own husband, then she will definitely succeed in the future. I just hope Donald Trump will be aware soon that NFT is part of blockchain.

Success isnt guaranteed for his wife even if he do deal with NFT because it all matters with the demand and if that one lacks of that then for sure his wife wont really making significant progress or improvement.

They do have their own decisions but we know that Wife's decision would always prevail or would be followed and as husbands then we cant do anything about it but to agree on what they've been dealing with.

Trump is never been positive with crypto or Bitcoin itself which we should not really put up any attention.

Here's the truth and if anyone ever tells you any different they're wrong or lying... DONALD TRUMP HAS NO CLUE HOW BITCOIN OR CRYPTOCURRENCY WORKS!.  The guy is not the sharpest tool in the shed to begin with, let alone does he have an educated opinion on bitcoin.  He say's he doesn't like it because he doesn't understand it, just like Warren Buffet.  This is the epitome of ignorance, making statements about something you don't understand.



I miss him saying stupid shit a little bit, since it's entertaining to watch this moron make a fool of himself  :D

Donald Trump's wife i guess creates better thinking than his husband because seeing she's involved in NFTs, then she must know already what the world is up to the present. And sooner, she'll be investing in bitcoin as  its the most profitable investment at the present.

However, Donald Trump will always give his trust to dollar or fiat as he doesn't know anything about crypto and its potentials to create huge profits in the future.

Trump has been used to using dollars and he's grown up with it. I believe he has experienced the great things that come with using dollars, hence, he has a big trust on it and continues to uplift it despite all of the inflation that has been happening. Maybe because he thinks that inflation is normal and shouldn't really be afraid from as long as the leaders know how to manage well. However, you see it isn't always the case. In which the reason why there is high inflation that is beyond normal from the usual rate which makes the value of dollar depreciate over time. I guess this is one of the sensitive topics he just can't fathom to tackle about because he is so fixated about the power of dollar.

Trump saying bad things about bitcoin or crypto in general is actually not news. It has been reported several times already about how he disgusts the idea of cryptocurrency stating that it is a dangerous thing to do, as if other things done related to money don't possess risks at all. It's just ironic to hear though now that he is supporting his wife's NFT which is clearly anchored also in cryptocurrency. I don't know if he don't really know that NFTs belong to crypto world or he agrees and supports it suddenly because it will benefit him and his wife. Who knows right? Maybe he already has a portfolio in crypto and just don't let the public know because of his previous stance. Either way, they are the only ones to know. I'll just hope he'll just keep his mouth shut if there would be no educational or sensible things he would say about the community.

I'm interested in what you have to say. Trump could have had some bitcoins. And that's an assumption that could be true, because we don't know what Trump is doing.
And if that's true, what is Trump really thinking?
Dangerous cryptocurrencies, if you don't own them? Is that so 😁

There is surely no chance for this clown to become president again. But what he said about bitcoin is stance of US govt on bitcoin and I am very sure same stance will be taken by current president or the next after current. What Melania Trump is doing is totally in her personal capacity, as deep down in there heart everyone knows how beneficial crypto is.

Donald Trump is a very intelligent person and was trained under the old school, he is a person who was widely attached to the Stock Market and is a strong investor and believer in the traditional economy, this makes him think that way about BTC, because BTC For him it does not represent a safe or supported asset, and according to his financial education does not allow or does not want to think beyond what he has, something very different from what happens with Robert Kiyosaki who is a financial analyst and of the same training as Donald Trump but with liberal thinking about the economy and accepting the changes that life gives.

I am not sure you fully understand what he says there. To me, what that really means is "She is going to do great at making dollars."

NFT's do operate on a blockchain but you do not need to hold lots of coins to benefit from bitcoin or other coins. You can sell apps using ETH and convert the coins into the dollar immediately.

He was the president of the US, it would be weird if said the opposite of what he said because that could be treason. Let's see what Biden says or will say about crypto. I can imagine it is not going to be pretty.

Don't think so, you would be supportive of crypto if you own it or if you're planning to buy when the prices are really low then there's a possibility that you're going to changing sides much more frequently because you secretly own crypto, I don't think that Trump needs to get into crypto, it's not like he already has billions of dollars.

I don't know why I keep believing that the body language of Donald Trump towards cryptos is different from what he does in his privacy, just like other wealthy businessmen who also bad mouth Bitcoin in public. For whatever reason(s) he's critical about crypto in public is best known to himself but it won't deceive someone like me into believing that he doesn't own any crypto at all.

If his wife (Melanie) owned up in public that she had an NFT and he's in her support, it then shows us his real mindset that he silently hodls some.

This dribbling bore knows little except to screw over anyone for his own success and benefit. He is clueless about so many topics but likes to act like a know-it-all, just think back to when he was talking about injecting bleach and UV rays directly into the body - he's an absolute clown and it amazes me that millions continued to vote for him. I doubt he knows anything about NFT's that his wife is working on, as it'll just be a little hobby that her distracted while he bangs any prostitute he can and that's good enough for him. Not to disparage the older generations, but this guy is in his 80's and hardly going to be bothered by pioneering new tech unless it can keep him alive longer.

Trump's response on the former first lady’s non-fungible token (NFT) been his wife's NFT shows a clear picture of how uncomfortable most influential investors are with crypto currency they can't regulate. Trump's fear for Bitcoin is that it's getting more adoption as the day goes by and as more investors are trooping in no government agency is standing in as a middle man or regulator making it even difficult to state who owns what amount of coin

it's true, he doesn't want his wife's efforts to be broken, because the idea of making NFT is not very easy if you want value.
I'm sure if his wife's NFT sells in the market, Trump will definitely start to accept the existence of bitcoin and the benefits of existence if he associates his business with bitcoin.

That seems foolish for a former leader of the country. It looks like he is very supportive of his family even though he doesn't like Crypto. Trum seemed to swallow his own saliva even though it seemed like he had to. I believe this proves Trump also has the nature of Nepotism. But at least this news can have a positive impact on the development of crypto in the world.

That Donald Trump doesn’t like cryptocurrency doesn’t mean that his wife is not going to be a fan of it, or any other member of his family. Everyone has a different opinion and they are entitled to their own opinion. So, he can be someone who doesn’t like cryptocurrency, and his wife will still be someone who is interested and also making use of it, and that doesn’t mean that he will be able to stop his wife because he doesn’t like it.

So, the answer he gave is not quite wrong in terms of what he thinks about his wife’s NFT, he’s still going to give that same answer that he gave whether in support or not. So you wouldn’t expect him to say that what his wife is doing is not going to be a success.

I don't expect much from trump anyways.
He's very easy to manipulate and somehow this bank hype of bitcoin is bad entered his brain through some external source.

I think he'll change his mind when the majority are accepting crypto and he has to witness that.

Dont' take Trump's words seriously. History has taught us he's not trustworthy. Words come out of his mouth for a reason.
Considering he is a businessman, I guess he has bitcoin in his portfolio already. Maybe soon we'll see him talking highly of crypto, who knows.

Donald Trump has a right to his opinion about cryptocurrency and so do I, we have different backgrounds and that will give us different perspective.
His wife is now into NFT and he thinks she is doing great, so I don't think DT perspective should bother anyone especially now that he is out of power.

This is not the first time, nor is he the first man on the planet, nor is he the first influential person to make a negative statement about bitcoin.Their opinion of us is like they don't know what it is and how powerful it is. And I believe there are lots of people who say bitcoin and crypto are dangerous in front of people, but in secret they are holding large amounts of crypto. It is possible that I directly don't blame them. It is just a thought of mine, just a speculation. So I don't think their negative opinions will have enough effect on this community, and the crypto community doesn't care about any opinion because they know about its power and positive impact too. That's my opinion about any negative opinion. Others' opinions might be different. Thank you.
 

Trump began to manipulate, give FUD and buy bitcoins in large quantities, then give a breath of fresh air by saying Bitcoin is gold, Bitcoin is a valuable asset. Trump is a skilled whale. His new venture to make NFT will certainly get a lot of benefits. a market strategy that will benefit Trump and his family.

I know that some people may think this as being contradictory but it is not, those people do not move by ideals they move by money and if for this they need to apparently contradict themselves so be it, so while Trump has maintained a stance against bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general he is not above using them in the case he could find a way to profit from them.

So most likely he knows what NFTs are and how they roughly work and yet he does not care as long as himself or one of his family members can obtain some profits with it.

Well, everyone has different stand on bitcoin and cryptocurrency and we should not expect for them to be positive on bitcoin as people have their own preference in life. I think as long as dollar is existing, Trump will focus more on it for now but maybe in the near future, he will learn to discover the worth of bitcoin and starts to embrace it. While his wife is already in NFT, and is probably making profits by now. I'm just glad that whatever Trump's stand in life, he still supports his wife engaging in crypto and wish the best for it.

As a husband then its likely we would really be supporting our wives when it comes to things that they would deal on.Can you imagine or do able to know on what would happen if ever you would oppose
the interest of your wifes? This doesnt talk about being the most powerful leader in the world but rather talks about being on a typical husband.You could really make out bashes globally towards crypto
but you do know on what position you are when in talks about your wifes interest on things. Do you have the rights to argue on what she do likes? I dont think so. hahaha

This situation is one of the more bizarre things going on in crypto right now.  Melania seems to be very obviously making a cash grab, and I doubt she'd do it without Donald's blessing.  I'm sure he was pitched the idea of launching his own NFTs and decided that it was something he didn't want connected to himself, so he had Melania do it.  Maybe if her NFT is a success and nobody complains about it being a scam, Donald will take a look at doing one himself.  It wouldn't surprise me if he uses NFTs to help raise funds for his 2024 election run, which I think would be a pretty good thing for NFT visibility. 

Only naive people will still trust or believe every negative thing the government says or said about cryptocurrency when we have millions of people who quit their job last year and now doing good through cryptocurrency.

Thats one thing about politicians, they are always after something that will benefit them when they are in power and tbh I don't expect anything good from him when it comes to cryptocurrency affairs.
Meanwhile, I don't know his wife is into NFT until now but any reason why he doesn't stop her from participating in NFT?

Call it hypocrisy or whatever but it seems to me a sly tactic or a veteran move that will somehow assure them that whichever way things go they are benefitting from it one way or another. If there is a battle against fiat and whatever crypto hype there is right now, they better have a stake in both. Although they are heavily staked in USD and may not like crypto, since NFT is already reaching tens of billions of trades, they better get themselves involved in it as well.

It is widely reported that Bitcoin's market cap exceeds USD$1 Trillion.  Today marks the 13th anniversary of the Bitcoin Genesis Block.  Happy Anniversary, #SatoshiNakamoto #MelaniaNFT

That's what it is, we know how shrewd of a businessman if not a person Trump is so I don't think that it's really not surprising that he is doing this kind of hypocritical contradictions. Also, I don't think Trump is just sitting there being a crypto hatter and seeing the massive profits it can bring in when you have the right amount of money to invest in.

His mouth speaks more than His actions , He says this now but deep inside is different .

I think this is His weakness in which people don't like him , this is my observation and also some of my friends in US hates about him.

Meaning he may talking against crypto but His pocket is filled with different cryptocurrency , this is not the issue of Him being super rich because people like him wanted to continue growing their wealth .

We have to understand the biggest reason why the former 45th president Donald Trump  - who is poised by the way to return on the political scene in 2024 buoyed by the big weaknesses of the Biden admin - is that he knows that the US Dollar can really be affected if people will be choosing Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency for that matter. Now, maybe if even he can come back to White House, there should be people that can explain to him fully that Bitcoin and the dollar can be complementing each other in the international scene. Donald Trump is anyway more talks and no actions on cryptocurrency so he is not that a biggie on regulations unlike what we might see in the current administration.

absolutely , a Businessman like Him will not close His Eyes and Pocket without gaining anything from this profitable market as he manage to become millionaire if not billionaire without the chance of cryptocurrency profiting what more now that His wife is involving from this.
so he will never let this chance passed without taking his Piece of Cake from the market.
so I know he was just making diversion from His comments but deep inside he is into it.

Well, knowing Trump, he is starting to be like Elon. Because we know he can't just leave seeing alone all the profits in crypto overflowing without benefiting from it. So he must be into it secretly but pretend to be a hater of crypto when in fact he's already gaining from it. And to think that dollar will depreciate, so he must have other option to make profits and definitely crypto is a good option for fiat. I guess things will definitely be reveal in the long run, for now let's just leave Trump on his own stand.

I actually agree on this tweet.

It is getting weird and how she would make out those sentiments and greetings if he does know that his husband is totally out of interest specially with Bitcoin?

So to speak that they dont mind each others business.  ;D

Trump had always being a good joker so I'm not surprised about is perception about cryptocurrency. I think he has his own share in the crypto market but had always want to make people to see the dollar as their first priority when it's comes to money and exchanges. I know he's just doing his job to make sure that the dollar is not dumped so people will not come later to criticize him of supporting the crypto market.

I may very well agree with you because we know that he is an entrepreneur too, where the interest to make a profit for him will be stronger than what was said and it can't be covered up, almost all entrepreneurs will do things like that and it's only natural.

you obviously know more about his character and because you yourself have seen and experienced it, but I only see him that he is an entrepreneur, it will always be different what is said with the desire for profit from an entrepreneur.
I can understand what you are saying about his opposition to crypto but his pocket is full of crypto.
because this is the character of the entrepreneur and it will always seek profit.

Donald trump now becomes like ELon Musk and becoming a Clown for the cryptocurrency market , though he is a long time clown same reason why he did not make another term for presidency because of His Mouth that full of Shit.

Let him say whatever he wanted , who really cares? you?Us? no way

Agree to this, and in the end, he will end up investing in crypto. He has the ability to manipulate what people want; he can say whatever he wants, but people will not listen to only his followers; they have the ability to influence the bitcoin price.We just respect his sayings about crypto and let's watch him in the future when he will be eating his own words regarding crypto. People have their own opinions and I think we just respect them and let's see how they react when the price goes up.

I remember when this man bought an entire airline for a staggering $365 Million on late 1890s and 18 months after, it went down and declared bankruptcy. And ever since former US President, Donald Trump have been always vocal about his love about the money (meanly dollar) ever since he's young and a teenager up until he became a president. He literally spent his entire life making money, trying every sort of businesses and investments until he became what he is now.
I'm quite sure he knew that NFTs are on the cypto blockchain as he's a pure businessman. It's that he can't prevent his wife Melania to be an anti cypto like him so now, he can only say that Melania is going to do great. Lol ;D

sometimes business people never never tell the truth, sometimes they hide something, sometimes they keep what they know a secret, because they are afraid of being rivaled, that's the sly way of high-end businessmen, like the story of donald tramp who always hates bitcoin, but in truth they are hide the bitcoins they have, those who have been playing bitcoin for a long time certainly know their sneaky ways..

Trump's dislike of crypto is not without reason, in various interviews he has stressed that the dollar should be the world's currency. He also firmly stated his dislike of Bitcoin, other than that reason we don't know for sure whether it's just fear that the crypto could threaten the US dollar or there is something else behind it.

I need to say that sometimes something in the media doesn't always match with reality, especially when it comes to politics. we don't know what's behind it all and if there are people who think negatively about crypto then it's their right to believe it or not. It's just that if it's exaggerated and up to the media it will affect a lot of people. simply, it's our right to believe or not with the crypto world and if we already believe in it then throw away negative thoughts about crypto and stay away from news that will indeed affect views about Bitcoin or other cryptos.

I guess we always don't see the reality behind in every negative news that comes out in the media, and definitely Trump might just be fooling around and made us believe that he's into dollar for his whole life while in reality, he has a huge amount of bitcoin he's been hodling for long. And only his wife knows it all.

However, its true that bitcoin is dangerous if you cannot manage its risk, but its worth owning if you are aware on its high value and its huge potentials that will certainly grow in the future.

Trump began to manipulate, give FUD and buy bitcoins in large quantities, then give a breath of fresh air by saying Bitcoin is gold, Bitcoin is a valuable asset. Trump is a skilled whale. His new venture to make NFT will certainly get a lot of benefits. a market strategy that will benefit Trump and his family.

Whether Donald Trump calls crypto dangerous or not I see his comment as a positive publicity for crypto because his speech will help get more clicks for that news article and generate alot of awareness for crypto. Whether people believe him or not is another debate. Am not even thinking twice about his position on the matter because I know he is derailing himself.

He is a good business man, so his thoughts will be much into money making. This isn't wrong, and being influential he tries to make use of the same. However his wife supportive to cryptocurrency and Trump standing against it makes controversy. It also adds some discussion, because on one note he's against cryptocurrency and on the back he wish her wife a success and assures she'll be successful on her crypto project.

Just like what mostly says in the media world that either Negative or Positive comments yet this is advertising so yes the clicking will grow and people will find more interesting in this word of the former president and also the Wife is on the other side.
which means the family circle of Trumps is moving towards crypto and this is a good news for all of us because person like President trump has always delivers controversial comments and we don't know that sooner he will comment favoring bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies  lol.

Or it is their way to bring down the market so they can invest and accumulate in lower prices , Knowing Trump to be a "NOT A man of His word"  so yes this can be their strategy because they are showing a great relationship since then so i see no reason why Melania will deliver different perspective in crypto.
so maybe it is their way to make more business?
well we cannot tell but all we have now is speculation in how they really stand towards crypto .

Everything would really be speculative and we dont know on whats up into their minds even though they are showing off different perspective about crypto but i do agree that word of yours about Trump on not a being

a man of his word which means he could make out direct u-turn if he wanted to and would end up on saying that he do loves crypto just like on what his wife is been doing.

In overall i dont really mind or stressing out myself on what are those words that they've been telling over here and over there.

Donald Trump is a very rich man who does not realize how ordinary people live.
I won't forget what he said about his dad giving him a LITTLE million dollar loan and then he moved to Manhattan.
For people so rich, Bitcoin is a threat because it gives opportunities to the poor.
Obviously, it is dangerous for them, because it allows them to lose money themselves.

For me at this time when the BTC is somewhat low in price it is the ideal time to buy, in fact my thinking is much more abstract, I think that if the price is below its last ATH it is ideal to buy, I never recommend buying in the highs, as many people do, of course the scenario can be given that if you buy right now, and suddenly tomorrow the price of BTC goes down more, this can happen, the only conviction I have about BTC is that It is the safest action or currency in the world and that there will be another new ATH juicier than the previous one.

Well, who doesn't want to make money off of anything crypto-related now  ;D Even Trump is making a U-turn by supporting his wife about launching her own NFT collection or maybe, after all, they could claim that these are not cryptocurrencies but an Art collection  ;D
We have seen a lot of people/institutions in the past that have condemned Bitcoin only to adopt it years later, this could be the same for Trump.

How you do able to know? How Bitcoin had become a dangerous thing specially for rich? This isnt something that you do have in mind and i dont really know on what you are talking in the first place.
We could really have our own inputs or insights towards things and his wife did really just end up on having the opposite view as him and would really just respect
on what these people do see even we do know that they are most powerful ones but we do really still have that free of choice.
