Donald Trump & Bitcoin

[Kprawn]

From his character, i think he'll try to ban/control bitcoin instead of support/use bitcoin
Don't believe rumors or conspiracy without good proof

From his character, if it's about making money, he's all for it.

It's not always about money, sometimes people have enough money and needs a new drug... this drug is "power" The highest possible position to be in, when it comes to "power" is being elected as

the president of a country. If that position turns out to be the president of one of the super powers of this world.. well, then you made. Donald Trump has enough money... he does not need the

government salary, they will be offering him, he can do it for FREE and still make millions from his other investments. Fame and fortune runs together....

Rumors have it that Donald Trump is supportive of Bitcoin, however I'm having trouble finding solid evidence of this. Does anyone have articles or videos from creditable sources?

Would it make any difference if Mr. Trump supports it or not?

In my opinion, Trump will do anything and support everything what can help him to become US President.
I don't think that bitcoin is important issue for him now because he can't get much popularity or votes on this topic.
If he realize that bitcoin is popular among young voters in USA, he may decide to give public support for BTC
It's easy to give support for anything during politic campaign but completely different story to do something concrete about it later.

Maybe then the question that should be asked is what will happen if Trump support btc and what if he's not?
A new president's decree or a new rule regarding banning or adapting btc on a first world country as US would -more or less- create a stir on cryptocurrencies

Trump is the guy that says a lot and promises everything sweet, But in the end? He just want to fill his pocket more.

Supporting bitcoin is just to add more tech savvy to his voter.

Bitcoin is an idea

the software is changable

everyone including the Don

hates inflation

When you have rich players involved with bitcoin, they would certainly play just for profit as many already do.
Pumping and dumping destabilising bitcoin prices/fluctuations/ prices down.

Trump and dump is not needed, I disilke those who do this just for gain.

Nobody (except the Winklewoss twins) has stated how much they have invested in Bitcoin and how bullish they are.
If Trump (or any one of the super rich guys) invests in Bitcoin, they will have a vested interest in ensuring that the price doesn't drop.

Donald Trump supporting Bitcoin? That sounds waay to progressive for any republican, particularity Trump.

If the future president of the free world were to support bitcoin, yes! It would make a difference. Duh. lol

The main thing that people don't understand is the significance and importance of what Satoshi wanted to achieve. The internet unshackled information, but it was Satoshi that began the quest to unshackle money. He passed the torch to Gavin, then Gavin dropped the ball.

But Satoshi understood it wasn't just about bitcoin, it was about the invention. He knew that bitcoin could fail, but he had a fail-safe already in mind. He was like a god creator. And every single cryptocurrency that follows him is a direct descendant of his child. I guess you can think of altcoins as his grandchildren.

And this great evolution of money will continue whether Trump supports it or not, just like the internet evolved with hardly a mention. To be honest, it would be of greater benefit to Trump to learn of bitcoin and the coming crypto generation, than any benefit a Trump endorsement would bring to us.

I have nohing against bitcoin, hell, I even own a little. But I'll tell you what I hate is that damn Ethereum. If elected president, I would not only ban Ethereum, but instate mandatory minimum sentences for anyone caught using Ether. The reason is that we need to kill Ethereum before it falls into the hands of the Iranians!

Would it make any difference...?
He could draw tons of attention to Bitcoin, but the statements might be very negative.
With the increased protests at his events, the odds of him winning the election seem to be extremely small.

[xuan87]

maybe if he announced that he is supportive to bitcoin, bitcoin will become more famous and the price will rise because he is a quite popular in trading and investing sector, but up until now there are no statement that come out from mr Trump mouth, so i think is its just a rumour

[Randian Hero]

I get the impression Trump would prefer to ban Bitcoin because it's "common sense" for government/law enforcement to have control.

[harizen]

Did you read that here or in other site? Can you show some?

Trumpchain lol.

[bob123]

These are probably just rumors. I dont believe any of these.
He doesnt seem like he wants to discuss anything related bitcoin.

Trumpchain lol.

This twitterhandle is awesome

We cant count him accepting bitcoin donations for presidential campaign as supportive of bitcoin tbh.  Most politicians will try and recruit voters by appearing to support many causes pre getting votes.  Then when you've voted away your life for 4 years they do whatever they like, oldest trick in the book.

[Steve_Tou]

It's just rumour, no proof.

[btc_enigma]

Hard to believe Trump would take time to understand and promote a decentralized technology.

[Pkzone]

If he becomes president I think hes more likely to ban it if not declare war on it because you know... only terrorists and criminals use it.

LOL, Bitcoin is not used by terrorists, if you read news, you must know it. (REF: http://cointelegraph.com/news/terrorists-not-using-bitcoin-politicians-want-to-regulate-it-anyway )
Criminals use it but standard people use it because of its relatively low time requirement and fees (45 minutes (?), 0.001 BTC at maximum)
But the controversy of block size may prove this wrong, so do I oppose it.
If someone like Donald Trump becomes the U.S. President then I think BTC will be banned too.

Agreed.
