Bitcoin Forum

I'm curious what his stance is and if he's a holder.

He probably hasn't and doesn't, but I hope he picks somebody who's a bit younger and might know something about Bitcoin to be his economic adviser. That's if he wins the whole thing (he might not with Bernie Sanders as one wildcard and Bloomberg as another). Any volunteers?

"It is impossible to buy Donald Trump" as they say.....

.....

...

He has already bought into his own interests, so he has no time for anyone else's.

...

All of the 2016 candidates are disappointing IMO (I seem to say this every 4 years).

...

I did a quick and dirty Google search and found nothing that Trump has said re Bitcoin.  

But, there are others asking the same thing as O/P!

Trump seems to be ready to spend a a billion dollars (of HIS money) to win*.  How ironic, most Presidents have to whore themselves out and be sold to the money-men...  They are the Sellers.

Trump is the Buyer of politicians.  He admitted it during the first debate!

* Bloomberg has hinted that he might spend a billion too if he runs....

What does a man with unlimited money and resources want in his life? More power apparently ;D By the way isn't buying of politicians illegal or the government can't touch him?

AFAIK there haven't be anything related to BTCitcoin, coming out of his mouth so far and I doubt there will be any in the future either. He seems the type of person to not get involved in such technology and base on how he always makes fool out of himself, then I wouldn't be his wise enough to understand BTCitcoin as a whole.

Haven't heard him say anything about it and frankly don't think he knows anything about it if asked. He doesn't seem like the type of guy to invest heavily in commodities anyway.

He talks a lot about bitcoin and blockchain:

warren buffet made a statement that people shouldnt buy bitcoin..

but thats what investors do... tell the world not to by something good, so the price doesnt soar before the investor buys in first.. we will see trump and buffet tell the world to buy in, only when trump and buffet has bought all they can handle and is then ready to cause a spike by telling the world to join them.

good investors never create price competition before they are ready. they wont give away free advice that ends up costing themselves more due to competitors pushing the price up. thats just basic logic.

even if they dont put millions into bitcoin. your sure as hell gonna see them put a few thousand into bitcoin, purely as a blind 'punt', because a few thousand to them is the same price as a night out with 1 bottle of their favourite bubbly

Donald is the kind of investor that doesn't look at things like Bitcoin as being a worthy investment. It's basically a traditional investor that is looking for solid/safe investments with low risk potential, but with a stable return. Bitcoin doesn't fit in this picture.

Well he knows about china just check on youtube. I would think all the rich guys had put in 0.00001% of their portfolio into bitcoin unless they are stupid why wouldnt you hedge that way?

Wow, I've never thought that this man know something about Bitcoin/blockchain.
Wait! this is not an official account -_-

 :D  ;D

Made me laugh

And there is where I say...
"If you think you can do better, do it yourself!"

Sigh, if only it were they easy, eh?

I agree with you, there are no big contenders in this years election....none that will bring great change anyway.

He's exactly like that old guy Warren Buffet. I wonder what his views are regarding the blockchain tech - of course, as a politician.

I dont think so. I think all I heard are jokes and telling everyone to be one country and more etc. etc. etc. If he did he might get some votes. Like 1/100 bitcoin users. Well that is a lot I hope he still take it.  ;D  :P

not i never heard he mentioning about bitcoin,and i am also wondering her statement about bitcoin,is that true?or just people who support him talk about this for part of campaign? lol

The way he is he would just say Bitcoin is hocus pocus and a product of internet's imagination... I am yet to see a (serious) topic where he actually has a valid opinion

havent heard him say anything about bitcoin, even though if he does knows what bitcoin is he probably wont say anything about it
and even if he is ask about bitcoin he probably wont say anything good about it.

In August he said he wants to clamp down on Mexican remittances. There is a thriving remittance industry using Bitcoin to send money from the USA to Mexico. While he didn't mention Bitcoin he would be likely to clamp down on it to stop those remittance payments getting sent. He wants to build a physical wall between the USA and Mexico so he's serious about remittances

Here's another great quote:

I don't care what he's said about it and I hope he never does say anything about it. The guy is a nut. If he ever did get into power I don't think he would have good plans for it.

I agree. It probably wouldn't do bitcoin any good. It could even hurt bitcoin reputation.
Even if Trump seems "popular" in the USA, in Europe we (almost) all consider him as a dangerous & half-brained populist.

Building a wall to stop mexican immigration really ? Let me laugh. Making america great again ? It would be a total disaster if Trump ever goes to power.

I only hope for someone else powerful to discover bitcoin and advocate for it. But not Trump please.

I doubt that he would be concentrating on anything else than winning votes now. He says a lot of wild things and most of that are things that people

think about, but would never voice in public. The Mexican remittance has been a problem for many years and I would go as far as saying, without the

capital coming from the USA, the Mexicans would have had a difficult time feeding their families. The thing is, if someone from another country is

willing to do the jobs that the average American did not want to do, you should not mess with the money they have worked for. Period.. If this money is

part of money laundering or drug sales, they should act on it.

Bitcoin is probably not important enough for Trump to make a statement on it.
Any statement (for or against) on Bitcoin would have a negligible influence on the voting population.

i personally havent heard him say anything about bitcoin or even any currency in general. the only thing he seems to be focusing on is race and military lol.

Well he is very good with his finances and investments. He very well could be holding some Bitcoin.

I don't think he will comment anything on Bitcoin prior to elections as the effect of it can go both ways and he wouldn't want to risk that. But I am sure he knows it and probably owns it.

Yeah this is pretty true. If he says something about Bitcoin, a lot of people could change their votes for president.

if there's a quote out there it would something like this: "There's a problem out there and Bitcoin is part of the problem, there's a tremendous question mark on Bitcoin right now and my friends called me and told me that I'm doing great with this Bitcoin problem".

Honestly, I think Trump may have some money in BTC even if he doesn't know anything about it, but somehow some part of his wealth may have some ties with a startup or loan company or whatever.

Doesn't own any BTC, but does owns many people who do.

Sorry guys, I could care less if Donald Trump owns bitcoin or even thinks about it at all.  If he's elected president, all of us in the US are fucked.  And probably everyone else, too.

yeah true. I think he didn't have time to comment on bitcoin whereas in the US bitcoin is less popular
perhaps he doesn't know what is it bitcoin lol
