Which US presidential candidate will back Bitcoin?

What do you say?

It seems Clinton being all in on Goldman Sachs will be for Bitcoin.

Trump on the other hand seems to have something else in mind.

Back bitcoin? just voted about trump, seems like Clinton is refusing for accepting a financial contribution in bitcoin and that is giving the different impressions for me about Clinton and bitcoin.

Depend on whether Trump owns any BTC - all the guy cares about is himself so if something benefits him or his businesses he's all for it.

[yayayo]

None of them will back Bitcoin. And I really hope Bitcoin will never be in a position of needing backing by politicians. That's the case for fiat money. Bitcoin is backed by strong cryptography and I think it is highly important that development focuses on security. In my opinion we also need improvements regarding the privacy of transactions (stealth transactions if possible), otherwise with government sponsored blockchain analysis and blacklisting, Bitcoin's fungibility and thus the whole currency could be at risk.

I think, when governments realize that the age of the fiat Ponzi is coming to an end, they will desperately fight against all alternatives, because the fiat debt system is their main source of power. Bitcoin must be prepared for that.

ya.ya.yo!

Probably Trump will be most inclined to back bitcoin. Or both of them as they both have supported some sort of illegal activity in some way.
You don't really want a president that likes bitcoin as then taxes and regulations are added to it and it becomes less free!

Meanwhile Donald Trump did not follow what I believed, I also believe that everyone in this world has the absolute right to determine their own fate, which are essential to help create freedom into society A little bit difficult for me to explain to the public the meaning of freedom.

[Rubberduckie]

I would say neither but if I had to pick one.

Hillary seems pretty set in her ways and has been in politics FOREVER
and would take the safe route by not backing it. I could see moron trump
somehow getting a stake in some and of course if it benefits him he would
back it.

[JeffBrad12]

No one because all of are they said it's just caused by politics and I think they will never releasing their statement into the real act, and mostly there are just aim into becoming the US president in this time. LOL

[nydiacaskey01]

I think it's gonna be Donald Trump as the guy is business minded, unlike Hilary Clinton. Donald Trump may have heard of Bitcoin already as this kind of guy always have a team of business researcher who looks at whats a good investment at the moment however with Bitcoins reputation as being used for anonymity I guess the government will stay away from it at the moment and they would focus more on how to strengthen the power of USD against other currency.

I have read in the news if trump will support bitcoin but i don't know what he say right or not or maybe this is only for campaign.

[HabBear]

The candidate that will support it the most is Gary Johnson (Libertarian).

He's also the most qualified candidate...isn't being investigated for illegal activity, hasn't been caught in a lie about his public affairs, doesn't come across as a self-entitled ass, the list goes on but I'll digress.

What do you mean by "back". Do you mean promote? Advance the acceptance of? Or do you mean not be an enemy to bitcoin. I don't think Clinton or Trump know anything about bitcoin, let alone would they understand or appreciate it. So as long as they're not trying to limit the use of bitcoin, their essential backing it.

[isen]

I'm sorry to say this but don't get your hopes up too high,neither Trump or Hillary will back bitcoin they don't even care about it because they have nothing to earn(at least in the present or in the near future) let's hope Bitcoin is going to grow so much in the next years that it won't need any corrupted politician's help.And generally speaking, I expect only the worst from the 99% of politicians,especially these two are the worst presidential candidates that I remember until now,I'm afraid that whoever wins we are screwed 

[ether19]

I  don't expect both of them to support bitcoin. Why would they? bitcoin has always stood up against ending the power of  Central banks and Governments who by simply creating money and controlling the lives of people by the power of "DEBT" . The closest thing we can expect from any politicians or the Government would be adopting the block chain technology into various fields where it's application can same money and improve efficiency.

Bitcoin has always been pictured by politicians as illicit and bad thing to own. It's like we you say you own bitcoin, there are some people who would consider you as a hacker or someone involved in drugs. But it's nice to see that this perspective is changing and more people are coming to bitcoin and adopting it as a instrument for investment.

My first impression is that Trump would be more likely to embrace BTC than Clinton. All in on Goldman Sachs? That is bad for Bitcoin. If they really have any interest in cryptocurrencies it is only because they could make money with it and to their own advantage. They do not care about anything else.

Trump on the other hand is more open minded when it comes to these things. He might be skeptical and not all out in the beginning but give him time to understand. He was the candidate that said that the war on drugs has failed and that regulation is the way to control it and to lessen the crimes connected to it. That is a very radical statement. Imagine how he will think about BTC and cryptocurrencies if he has truly understood it.

Yes its true, i have also heard in different places that trump own good amount of bitcoin and he also seems to keeping eye on price. If this is true than after he became US president, it is quite sure he would be in complete favour of bitcoin. Trump cares is about his money, his empire and his investments, so he will surely care about bitcoin if he has some (may be worth of million).

[Herbert2020]

NONE.

they may give a speech about it so that to lead people into thinking they are backing bitcoin but that speech will be carefully worded to never say directly anything about bitcoin and backing it up.

no government will back bitcoin for the foreseeable future. and every time they say anything about it be sure that they are talking about "blockchain" and adopting the technology alone not bitcoin.

[Kakmakr]

None of the above, Why? because H Clinton is too conservative and old school, and she has a history with the banks and also NO for Trump, because he is a wise ass, who thinks he is the only person who has a opinion or any good ideas.

There is zero incentive for them to make money from this, because it can be used for capital flight when the dollar hits rock bottom soon, and people can use it to avoid taxes. They will ignore the new jobs and the extra taxes that can be derived from that, if they allow Bitcoin business to flourish.

But I never see Gary john is like the another candidate is always appearing on the media and I think Gary is not included in the candidate at this time, sorry if I'm wrong but that is according to my brain, because to rarely for finding Gary johnson in media in this time.
And Gary is a candidate who is accept bitcoin donation in his campaign?

[arseaboy]

I've seen before that Clinton said about supporting blockchain but I don't heard anything about trump yet.

There are only rumors and nothing real.

I don`t think that US presidential candidaters care about bitcoin.

The Bitcoin world is just too small.Hope that we will grow and gain influence.
