Bitcoin sponsors in the White House?!

[nara1892]

Bitcoin sponsors and White House in the same sentence don't go well with each other. People related to Bitcoin working with governments has only one objective, helping with possible regulations, so there's no "sponsorship".

My thoughts are that it might get discussed in congress or something similar and the newly elected president won't really care about it.

who knows? why are you so sure? I think there are a lots of possibilities about bitcoin sponsors and white house. probably there will be an agreement of using bitcoin as one of legal currency of America, or anything.

I don't really think it will do much for Bitcoin, it all depends on how the main man (Mr. Trump) view Bitcoin, if it is neutral then they may influence things but knowing that it is being dominated but the Chinese market, I don't think Mr. Trump will go for BTC

I wouldn't expect any discussions about Bitcoin in the Whitehouse.  Donald Trump has recently said: “I think that computers have complicated lives very greatly. The whole age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what’s going on.”
That being the case, I would imagine any discussion with him about Bitcoin would be unlikely or at best, fruitless.

His statement does not mean that it is his belief until the end of his term or the end of his life. The fact that they honor the discussion in the white house, there is always a chance that the President might be convince and will eventually change his mind. Let's be positive, it's all for us.

I really believe that Trump will be positive about bitcoin. Previous president had not call to White House any bitcoin supporter had he? Trump before officially takes over the presidency has already met with two of them. Moreover there is another one the budget chief Mulvaney who is an enthusiast bitcoin proponent. Therefore I conclude that Trump is not only the president of USA but is an entrepreneur too and he understands the potentiality of bitcoin and is matter he cannot ignore.

Maybe that's exactly the reason why Trump would be in favour of Bitcoin, to get miners back to the US and keep it 'out of Chinese hands'.
Pure speculation of course, I actually doubt that Trump would even acknowledge Bitcoin..

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were a few bagholders in the top-end of the US Government, hodling their way to greater riches.

Don't think Trump interested in bitcoin at all, he has enough things to worry about, bitcoin is not one of them.

Trump has no issues with Bitcoin whatsoever. Doesn't even come on his radar. When and if it does he will be fine with it. He's an entrepreneur, he understands.
However, Clinton was definitely going to do something about it. Few in the Crypto world know this but you can bet that communist wouldn't have liked the
idea of such self empowerment.

Peter Thiel is the one to watch. he's on Trumps team. When I say watch, I'm sure he will be pro BTC in the sense he certainly wont try and legislate it
