Bitcoin in Politics.

[Cryptmuster]

Politics is inseparable from everyday life and will continue to coexist in any context. We can see how Bitcoin continues to grow, and even most countries on earth have considered strategic reserves in Bitcoin. This demonstrates a superiority because every choice made is based on a study of potential financial benefits. Recently, we saw the Bitcoin price rally again and reach its all-time high, providing a much more convincing perspective on Bitcoin's trajectory.

I'm not sure how Bitcoin can play a direct role in practical politics, but there is ample evidence that leaders have been elected after speaking about Bitcoin. Furthermore, we can see the election of Trump and the South Korean president and how the issue of crypto has been brought into the context of those elections.

I do not think this will continue constantly. I believe it only worked at the early stages of adoption. For example, we saw that it worked for Trump, for Milei, maybe even for Bukele, but in the future I think it will not have such a widespread effect. As for the influence of politics, I am not sure yet. I think Bitcoin is currently growing thanks to institutional investors who were the first to realize the importance of Bitcoin and the fact that this asset can bring very good profits.

I believe that in the future countries might consider strategic reserves in Bitcoin. But for now, I am not sure this will become a mass phenomenon in the near future. I think large companies are currently capable of buying Bitcoin from the market and this will already create a big shortage.

Trump and Musk are two excellent businessmen. I get the feeling that all of Trump's actions as US president are aimed at increasing market volatility. The scandal with Musk resembles some kind of circus performance. It is quite possible that with the help of the volatility of Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies, they are making big money, because they know exactly when there will be bad news and when there will be good news. All that remains is to place orders on the exchanges and the money will pour into their pockets.

Politicians also create bad news and good news because they know the potential for both to be profitable. For example, the war between Iran and Israel and the United States as a superpower tried to influence the situation. The connection can be seen in the market experiencing turmoil, although it didn't last long. The stock market also experienced pressure, affecting the entire global economy. Afterward, they took advantage, perhaps not only in this industry but also in most other sectors, which is why politics seems so out of place.

Politics relates to many things and Bitcoin is not an exemption at all. Bitcoin us unique and has very little effects from politics so it is well in long term no matter what is done by Trump, Elon Musk or any other politicians and their policies on Bitcoin. In addition, Bitcoin has very good decentralization which is different than all other cryptocurrencies.

In a broader sense Bitcoin is indeed the best currently for various reasons that can strengthen the argument. However, it would be much better if practical politics were not involved, because we can see that Bitcoin can run itself without any influence. Before Bitcoin's price was sufficiently high, many countries might have opposed it, but Bitcoin persisted on its own reaching the adoption it has today.

I tried checking any news outlets that reported that Elon Musk's party will make Bitcoin a legal tender and I couldn't find anyone. Anyone who trusts politicians will be disappointed. They can promise anything to gain political power. When they are elected,  you will know that it was a bait to get your vote. I don't trust Trump and Elon, Bitcoin should be apolitical.

First: Elon never stated that his party would legalize bitcoin as a currency, he only confirmed that the America Party would support and accept bitcoin.
Second: changing/replacing or adding/removing a national currency is a complex issue. That is the job of Congress and the Fed, no party or president has the authority to do so. Musk is wise enough not to make such silly statements just to lose the people who believe in him.

As for trusting politicians, the issue between us and politicians is not whether to trust or not, because even if you don't trust and don't vote. They will also become president. So let's consider it's a trade between them and us, and we'll be the more passive party when we can't guarantee which politician will be less bad.

Your right politics has a great influence on how Bitcoin adoption will be globally because we have already seen from the United States of America election which that saw trump to power and how he promised a reform on the crypto laws there was a great shift in the way and manner that Bitcoin was seen it also affected the price of Bitcoin but the only problem that I seems to have with this move by Elon musk is that politicians can use Bitcoin as a means to get to power because politicians can capitalize on anything just to get to power

The politicians are only after their own success and they go to any extent to achieve success. They know the art of playing with public sentiments that's why we see a politician face when he is not in government and a totally new face when he is in government. As far as Musk new statement about crypto is concerned, he has done that in the past to achieve personal benefits and he is doing this once again for his own interests. It's not easy for any politician to change government narrative on crypto even after he assumes key office of the government.   

[irhact]

For Elon most of us know that his interest is mostly in DOGECOIN which is where he's got massive stake, he will not be pushing for bitcoin enough because he may not be having as much in Bitcoin and with DOGECOIN he may have some kind of control which he may not be having with Bitcoin, summarily there's still an intention he's got.

They're all pushing their different cryptocurrency because they have big stakes in them. They aren't pushing Bitcoin but Bitcoin is pushing itself and without Bitcoin moving other cryptocurrency aren't going to move. It's Bitcoin that controls the market but people like Elon musk doesn't want Bitcoin to increase instead they're projecting their favourite altcoins. There's politica around Bitcoin but Bitcoin has always been the one winning and not the altcoins. Bitcoin is that one cryptocurrency that no matter how bad you speak about it. It still won't go out of existence. Bitcoin always recover and that's one big strength of Bitcoin together with it being decentralized.

[Scarlett_23]

Many countries mostly the advance countries now using bitcoin to support their parties and candidates. Recently, Elon Musk who supported Donald Trump in the recent concluded general election in America last year which brought Trump to Power had a clashed (dispute) with Trump and and left the party (Republican) and formed his own political party and according to information I got, the party is to support Bitcoin. I don't know if that is also in the party BLUEPRINT. And if it is so I think that is a good idea of supporting Bitcoin and it will make it growth stronger. If the Americans Party wins the Presidential seat in America, Elon Musk will adopt Bitcoin as the legal tender currency in the country.
President Donald Trump said the "Americans Party" is ridiculous. Capitalists have a strong influence in politics. But right now I don't know the sole candidate of the Party. Politics can make bitcoin to be more adopted by countries if the State Actors fully support the Currency.

Musk goes political: forms party to support BTC, rejects fiat

Elon Musk launched the America Party, positioning it as a pro-Bitcoin, anti-fiat alternative to the existing political system.

Trump criticized the move, accusing Musk of fueling political chaos.

Elon Musk played a very important role in Trump's election campaign. Even after the election, their chemistry caught everyone's attention. But their relationship did not last long. The conflict between the two arose over Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Elon Musk strongly criticized this bill regarding increased spending. Elon Musk believed that this bill would bankrupt America. Since then, threats and counter-threats started between the two. Elon said that he would leave Trump and form a new political party. On the other hand, Trump threatened Elon and his companies.

However, these two people said that they would support Bitcoin during Trump's election campaign. But after coming to power, Trump is not supporting Bitcoin in that way. Elon could not keep his promise that he would be able to buy his Tesla car with Bitcoin. He is also lagging behind on the pretext that Bitcoin mining requires a lot of electricity, which is harmful to the environment.

It still won't go out of existence. Bitcoin always recover and that's one big strength of Bitcoin together with it being decentralized.

Yep that is precisely right. Elon has never hesitated to express his love towards Dogecoin and that is understandable since he is likely to own a larger share there and believes that he can steer it more easily. There is no control or rather anyone in control of Bitcoin and it is a factor which cannot be so attractive to someone who likes to be a master. And many of these large names promote the coins which they benefit the most, rather than these with best fundamentals. But as you pointed out, Bitcoin does not requires anyone to be its driver. It is the mainstay of the entire crypto space. Irrespective of the level of criticism and the entry and exit of other altcoins, Bitcoin remains quite strong and never fails to recover. That is the form of stability and confidence which keeps it live.

[Lembo69]

I would rather trust a random dog on a street than Elon Musk with doing anything.
He is liar and a clown, same a Trump, and people should not fall for any of their circus show.
Don't believe for a second Musk will adopt Bitcoin instead of fiat.

The thing is that some people don't really understand politicians, they say many things to deceieve those that want to be deceievd, most of us are wise and wouldn't even want to give a damn on what they say because at the end of the day it won't see the light of the day, those guys don't have conscience when they lie, those guys are fiat friendly so what ever I hear them say remains a fallacy, we saw all that before and  after US election, many of us thought that by now Bitcoin would've hit higher than it is but what did we see a different scenario right, so for me, even though that tweet is the words of Elon musk as we have seen, I think it should be back up with practical  actions from him, so at this point I think action is believing, we shouldn't get excited for no reason when there's nothing to show for it, policians and their deceitful antics.

Politicians always like to reassure people. And when people start believing them, they reveal their true nature. If Bitcoin goes to politicians, maybe they can create such a system. Bitcoin taxes will have to be paid. Because politicians can make people adapt to their words. America also plans to improve the financial and moral status of their country through cryptocurrency. However, once they get cryptocurrency, they will run the country as they wish.

And they will increase the price of Bitcoin and sell it as they wish. So, I personally want a country like America not to have cryptocurrency.

Politicians are using bitcoin to gain the support of those who are into bitcoin to vote them into power. Since all governments have shown their ugly ignorance about bitcoin, those who promise to help reduce those hatch policies about bitcoin gain the support of bitcoiners so easily, and when someone with so much power like Trump is in office, any financial policy they have to make will definitely affect the price of bitcoin either positively or negatively. Until the people try to disassociate themselves and believe about what they expect from those in power to do for Bitcoin, high-profile politicians and their doings will have an effect on it.

Question to anyone with some insight:

Are you optimistic about "crypto week" and the bills that may pass in the coming days?

Everything on such a high place is done for some purpose - and sympathy towards BTC would not be an exception to that.

I don't think politician care about bitcoin, they are more on power since they can do anything with it, same with Elon, as a businessman, he only cares for profit, like other people said that he's a liar, we really don't know what's he's intentions, but for sure he is here milk bitcoin, to fund he's space exploration, I just think that all of their recent collab with trump are just for profit and power, nothing less, with Elon popularity he can manipulate anything.

[TheUltraElite]

They don't lose anything by saying something and if anything loses, it is their reputation only. I am so doubtful that politicians care about that while they look at support and votes for winning election or pass kind of bills in the Congress. Bitcoin adoption has been uprising considerably since 2009 and it is explainable why politicians in 2025 and recent years have changed their stance on Bitcoin and show more interest in Bitcoin or support it.

They have indeed taken a U-turn and are using bitcoin as a new scapegoat to buy votes of the people who are enthusiastic about cryptocurrency. It shows the normal habit of the politicians to take up an object and use it as a method to gain votes, similar examples can be found the past.

On the bright side, bitcoin has crossed 121k USD and we are reaching new highs, I guess some selling pressure is going to come in after this but we can handle that. If this price consolidates, we have a good chance to start looking forward to 150k USD soon.

[Liliana1304]

Dogecoin is a meme coin. Elon Musk has joked about it many times and has even stated clearly that he was just joking and even told people not to buy Dogecoin.

It might be a meme coin, but it's the biggest and oldest and the second biggest POW cryptocurrency. Initially created as a joke by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer in 2013 but you'd agree with me that ever since Elon Musk made it popular, it wasn't regarded as a joke anymore.

But it's not his fault that people are naive or don't understand that Dogecoin is a "shitcoin"just a meme with massive inflation. There are 10,000 new Dogecoins created every single minute! That’s actually worse inflation than fiat How can a meme coin ever be considered "sound money"?All shitcoins can never be sound money, and honestly, all altcoins are just shitcoins. Bitcoin is the only real, sound money.

People really need to do their own research before buying into hype coins like this.

People are attracted to something that has gained hype by someone as influential as Elon Musk like moth would do to a flame so even though it's a shit coin, tweets like being the Dogefather and the CEO of DOGE has a way of inciting confidence in the minds of many, don't you think?

That’s the narrative of those incoming politicians, they use crypto because they know there’s a lot of users in it their country, it’s the global trend! After that they will just ruin everything, the flow and the market due to their global issues. I really like how global adaptation is happening, what I don’t like is that these countries or politicians take advantage of the market and manipulating it using their influence. But since we’ve reached 121k, there are too many green signs and I hope global issues will be stopped for BTC to have a consistent run.

Talking about politics is never-ending, and that's why it's considered quite easy to achieve power when all the resources are at their disposal. Politicians only think about power and will do anything to support that goal. Many politicians may talk about Bitcoin, but do they truly support it? No one knows for sure, and perhaps no one can guarantee the authenticity of what they say. That's why I say it's better for Bitcoin not to be involved in politics, which is played by some who only care about personal gain.

Trump criticized the move, accusing Musk of fueling political chaos.

The moral of the story is to never trust anything politicians say. One day he says he supports Bitcoin, but the next day he might say he only supports his shitcoin because it's outdated. There are many examples of politicians switching sides to gain support. The most obvious example is Trump, who once said Bitcoin was a scam, but today he's embracing it. And the same could very well happen to Musk—who also initially supported Trump, but now they seem to be on opposite sides. Does someone like this seem trustworthy? Just think twice.

They would use whatever things that useful to them that's why people should not get amazed on their action towards Bitcoin especially if they are a total jerk and hate it before. Since provably they are just riding up and try to get people attention to get those things that beneficial on their political career.

Trump succeed on this and other politicians or those wanna be are trying to use same style that's why voters need to be more careful. Then vote for those right leaders that can bring good growth on their countries. Stop picking those famous people which obviously running to gain more wealth and power.

Bitcoin has now become a favorite among all groups, including politicians. It's not surprising that many politicians simply exploit the crypto community for personal gain, as Trump did before. It's hard to trust politicians when they make promises about crypto because they're difficult to deliver on, as they face numerous challenges. Especially in the United States, for example, it's difficult for them to deliver on their promises to adopt Bitcoin and enact regulations that benefit the crypto community. It seems difficult, because they certainly don't want fiat currencies to weaken further. Furthermore, we may have forgotten Bitcoin's history as an enemy of the state. So, even if politicians appear to support Bitcoin, they will ultimately betray it, meaning they won't keep their promises.

It seems impossible for Bitcoin to remain politically uninvolved. Bitcoin also emerged from a poor political decision, when the economic crisis weakened and many people lost their trust in fiat currencies, which prompted Satochi to create Bitcoin as an alternative. So, I believe Bitcoin will always be involved in politics.
