I agree with you that politicians always say what people want to hear. Yes, I also suspect that Trump is speaking in favor of Bitcoin here to attract the public. But you have to remember that keeping election promises is also a duty. Since he made election promises, he made this announcement knowingly. I didn't think he lied or would oppose the cryptocurrency again after the election, and the 2024 presidential election is going to be very positive for Bitcoin. Rather, I think Trump will make America great once again. And under Trump, Bitcoin will create an ATH again.
Expect that to any politician, as they want to attract the interest of voters. They need to find a way how to connect with them. And since crypto is trending in the online market, they somehow need to explore this subject and let their people know that they are not against with it.
If in case, he will win on this upcoming election, we will know if he is truly a pro-crypto politician if he will approve bills related to this market or he will promote crypto-related business. He should also not too tight with crypto regulations. We may be seeing more crypto-related ETFs.
