I doubt it will be affected dramatically one way or the other, but logically, you could expect a slight upswing if Trump is elected (mainly due to his "anti-governmental-control" platform), whereas Hillary's election could result in a downswing since she is all about big government controlling every aspect of people's lives. Can't imagine she's a big can of anything that the government can't take a huge chunk out of, and some may speculate that she could eventually crack down on the crypto seen, or at least try to control or tax it somehow. FWIW, i hate both candidates and find it pathetic that we have to choose between a multiple-time serious criminal socialist and a disrespectful, insulting, bigot/racist pompous as$.

"a disrespectful, insulting, bigot/racist pompous as$" Don't forget multi billionaire who hasn't paid a cent in income tax in 20 years. Yeah, I hate them both also.
Fwit, I think Billary is a lock, so what if anything does that mean for the bitcorn?

A trump re-election might increase risk averseness in the global market.
That may actually benefit the US dollar, contrary to popular opinion. So you can't say that Bitcoin will be positively impacted by Trump election.

No way, bitcoin will not be affected, maybe only some stocks and the TrumpCoin.

Wrong thread. This topic should be in political and society. Please move to there buddy.

yes i think it will be effected.

but not by a lot. maybe some hype or eve maybe some FUD that can change the flow of things around hence affecting the price of bitcoin temporarily.

[~Bitcoin~]

It may get effected a little bit but not much as we have also seen no any significant effect due to governmental decisions, election etc before like brexit  few months ago. Trump may support bitcoin if he get elected which may bring little pump on price.

I don't think bitcoin will ever be affected. but fiat will soon see some market movements when a new president is elected, this usually happen.
Bitcoin is decentralized, it may look like its not but it is

that is true but just a reminder that when Obama was in race for president bitcoin price increase for 5% in that time not much but all think and speculate that is was because of that
i dont think that if this happen again will have any impact much cuz 5% from current price is jump for another 20-30$ dollars not that spectacular but still can be good if comes to that

One way or another, bitcoin's price is going to be affected by something that involves change, especially that we are talking about the U.S. presidential elections. Investors might find that something might be done by the next administration that will be to the advantage of bitcoin. This is the U.S. and not some small third world country so a lot of other nations are also involved here.

I was thinking about with a friend yesterday: we both agreed that the gold price will be a good marker meaning that the bitcoin price will probably follow the gold one.
Bitcoin always moved big during some big news: Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Market crash, Brexit etc.

i guess will will find out in about one month from now when it starts
from past we can expect that price will follow this event in one way or another so we will have to wait and see

[exscudo]

the bitcoin price will probably follow the gold one.

As I can see, both of them play more or less the same role - they are alternative to currencies, so people can 'flee' from USD, concerning the US elections uncertainty. So I predict both, gold and BTC, to apreciate against USD, at least temporary.

i don't remember was not trump pro bitcoin, i remember somethign like this, but i may be wrong, if not i can not see how the election can make bitcoin stronger, they are not related at all to the bitcoin market

it is a cliche thing to say but it is hard to say

sometimes there are some events that you think they are going to have a huge effect on bitcoin and they let you down and some other times there are events that you don't even think about but they have the biggest effect!

in this case i think market is ready for a upward movement and in any case there is only one way to go and that is up. unless the new president decides that as his first thing after taking the position to ban bitcoin

If Trump does what he said he will (or possibly more - there is a real chance of that) he could change the entire global political landscape like we have never seen before.

The credit cycle is ending quickly in the U.S., and my feeling is that with worldwide deflationary pressures settling in, the global markets will react downward in the next year or two.

But of course instead of blaming it on the right things (i.e., the unwinding of worldwide margin debt, Bank failures, Brexit, Greece/Italy/Venezuela, etc.) the media will try to blame it on something completely superficial.

Like who the new U.S. president is, and why they are bad for the world.  

How Bitcoin will benefit from all of this, I really have no idea. Is it seen as a safehaven? We shall see. My personal bet is 'yes'.

what did that jerk said that he would do that could change the entire global political landscape? and is this going to affect bitcoin?
if not i don't think he can make impact as to what could happen, his vice president is a lot better than him actually.
