Hilary Clintons pledge is just a political strategy to attract more voters and for her to win the next election. But this is a good news to bitcoin industry, government backing up bitcoins will increase bitcoins stability in the market. I foresee an increase in bitcoins price if Clinton will win the presidency and I hope she will win so it will benefit us bitcoin users.

Such a News from a presidential candidate of a grown nation is really a important news for most users and countries that have been opposing bitcoin and other digital currencies. Possibly if the statement is true it helps high in bitcoin's further growth.

Do you have a grudge towards Hilary CLinton that you are giving some reasons that you think but not really hers. But well said that her support to bitcoin may uplift the bitcoin economy. Bitcoins may become more famous in the world and may give influence to companies. Possibley this may lead to increase of bitcoin users and may lead of course to our favorite an increase in bitcoins price.

She's a proven liar.  Don't believe proven liars.

I bet that she said it just for the sake of elections

Most of politicians will lie when it's near the election so they can grab a few more votes by saying "I am supporting this"
The question is : How many Bitcoin user that believed that she really supports the blockchain

What a politician says during election season is worth - well, a lot less than 1 satoshi.

I'd feel better if she raged against it. At least then I'd have a better idea of how things _really_ stood. But think of this: if and insofar as bitcoin challenges traditional banking, do you really believe the institutional bankers that have so richly lined her pockets over the years will not attempt to influence her? Whereas on the bitcoin side the lobbyist roster is quite a bit thinner.

She didn't say she support bitcoin.

Not sure if she understands what blockchain really means, but I think she was just expressing her support for the development of new technologies, which include blockchain technology.

The announced pledge to support the blockchain technology is a great boost for the cryptocurrency sector.  Not only Bitcoin will gain more popularity on this and so the other currency too.  Even if the said declaration is one of the platform / agenda of Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton.  It will still bring positive impact to Bitcoin.

[Wendigo]

Apparently the business sector isn't interested in Bitcoin as a digital currency system and what it could bring to the table as a payment solution but they are more interested in the Blockchain technology itself and let me quote Hillary here because she has said it perfectly herself: 'public service blockchain applications'. I think these are the keywords right here for any future developments in the Bitcoin technology space - public service blockchain applications. I think the Bitcoin mining business is in decline and the Bitcoin technology will steal the show very soon with what it could offer to all the different industries.

Welcome...

Even if she is saying this for political reasons, it's very positive news. Many times we hear negative press about bitcoin or blockchain so we have to look at this as a step in the right direction.

[Kakmakr]

The blockchain technology you can expect from them, would be something that would track each and every transaction on this planet, as part of a complete surveillance solution. I have seen some suggestions that it could also be used to transmit secret encrypted messages, hidden between 1000's of other transactions. ^hmmmmm^

Political strategy to woo voters from crypto people or not, for me its a welcome news if its true. If she really does support, it could translate to bitcoin growth. Growth in usage and popularity which will translate to growth in demand, and finally a higher price or bitcoin value.

Hillary doesn't even understand what she is talking about. It's her advisers that told her, that talking positively about this "blockchain" thingy will get her cheers from her most important supporters: the banks.

So what Hillary supports is not a free decentralized blockchain like we have with Bitcoin. It is a centralized, banker and state controlled blockchain, perfectly aligned with her vision of an omnipresent nanny state.

Bitcoin does not need support from any politician. Bitcoin is innovation that doesn't ask for permission. It doesn't care, what these muppets pledge for. After all, what kind of support can governmental actors give Bitcoin? Contributing all the debt they've accumulated? No thanks!

ya.ya.yo!

[gentlemand]

How many voters give the slightest shit about 'blockchain'? If I was your average trailer dweller I'm more worried about my juicy young daughters being ravaged by Mexicans.

[Denker]

Awesome!
Somebody tell her to run the future political donations she and her family gets over the open blockchain named Bitcoin!
I mean politicians always say they are for transparency right?!

[~Bitcoin~]

I see this just like promotion for election campaign and i am sure no any politicians wants transparency and decentralization of power so they will always remain negative towards bitcoin and related tech.
