Are you enjoying Trump?

[Mate2237]

I think that am really enjoying the second tenure of trump as the president of the united states of America because to me he is really delivering on his campaign promises that made people to vote him into power especially his reforms in critical issue like stopping funding to the USAID that has been under performing and not being achieving anything tangible so far and trump coming out boldly to stop funding such an organization is a welcome development.

Crypto currency reforms too was another key promise that he made and to the best of my ability he has done well because just on Sunday he signed in and strategic crypto currency reserve bills making crypto currencies like Bitcoin a federal reserves so Trump is delivering on his promises as a leader

[justdimin]

If we're just talking about crypto, I'd say he's done much better than the Biden administration. He pardoned Ross Ulbricht, repealed the SAB121 executive order imposed by the previous administration, and he planned and prepared to announce the creation of a cryptocurrency reserve fund for the United States...He is trying to fulfill his promise to the crypto community and with all that he is doing, i don't see anything disappointing. I can assure you that we would not have seen all of this if Kamala had been elected.

But if we look at the big picture like world politics and economy then people are not wrong to blame him because he is causing instability and this is unintentionally having a negative impact on the market. But this is only a short-term impact because the trade war will have to end at some point. He is just using tariffs as a weapon to balance the US trade deficit and when that problem is solved, everything will be ok.

Usually I do not meddle with American politics because why would I care when it is not my thing. I would like to remind people that Biden period was when ETF's were accepted finally, we had all the applications during first Trump time, when he wasn't pro-crypto and it got rejected, but when it was Biden time, it got accepted. I am not putting the blame on Trump nor praising Trump nor doing anything for Biden, these are all other stuff done by other people, I just wanted to remind that we got ETF at that period.

Overall, if Trump does anything good, and not just "plans" to do anything good but actually does, then I would be happy. Letting some criminal free isn't what benefits me, Ross could have been in the jail all I care, that is not a benefit to crypto, as proven by the price.

I am not denying that ETFs were approved under Biden but did you know the first bitcoin ETF application was by the Winklevoss brothers in 2013 and was rejected by the SEC on the grounds that they were too susceptible to manipulation. And it has been repeatedly rejected for the same reason over the years, not just during Trump's first term. Gary rejected the Bitcoin ETF multiple times and things only really changed when Grayscale got aggressive and the federal court intervened. Furthermore, I believe that if Biden does not approve a bitcoin ETF, it will happen in Trump's second term as well.

Under Trump, we have Bitcoin reserves, the US government does not sell Bitcoin, the legal framework is also gradually becoming clearer...we should not deny that the Trump administration is more friendly and open to cryptocurrencies than previous administrations.

Trump has expressed his commitment to ensuring that the US government adopts Bitcoin and other digital assets promising to support Bitcoin and the crypto community.But His supports to Bitcoin's adoption so far doesn't seem to align with the existing expectations of the  Bitcoin users.
 Trump has made so many promises to encouraging Bitcoin's adoption but for some reasons I'm yet to believe that all of these were some political propaganda and a strategic move to attract supports from crypto enthusiasts.

The first mistake Trump and his campaign team did was launching a meme Trump coin. You see, in Bitcoin community many don't like altcoins and if you want to see you been hated, try and present them with meme coin but they did that actually and that's where the doubt start coming and now, anything he says about reserve is just talk and talk. Some days ago, he says he plans on adding some other coins, everything now looking stage from behind.

Maybe things will change later but Bitcoin is just Bitcoin and people are bullish because they think we are Bitcoin bull run, this reserve is becoming absolute and thing of the past. Perhaps there might be some modifications later but the way Trump is bringing new tarrifs and fighting other countries, it will affect Bitcoin for now, the heart of US is his priority and I don't think Bitcoin is his concern wholeheartedly.

That is an "American" thing, like for example it was Biden's period when we went up during the election results, but people said it was Trump that made it go up. But then it went down during Trumps period, so they said it was tariffs of other nations that are enemies that made it down.

So if they want to defend, they will figure out a way to defend, if they want to praise, they will figure out a way to praise, they are never done and they are never wrong and the yare always right. It's fine though, as long as it helps us, now Trump will have a chat in the white house with all the big crypto heads, so if that benefits us then we are going to end up with a good return on price to all time high levels and that is what we need right now.

It's not a joke from Trump about the reserve and the decision was actually issued without consulting Congress and therefore it is not yet a law. The announced reserve will be in seized Bitcoin with no indication of whether more will be purchased. The authorities have seized various assets and I do not know if they will all be sold for Bitcoin or will be kept as just seized assets. Also the crypto summit which we are still waiting for what will be announced by the White House at the end of the talks later this evening.

I do not support Trump launching a token because as president, this would have many consequences. But we need to know that his administration has expressed interest in the crypto industry and crypto include bitcoin and altcoins, not just bitcoin.
Most of us here are bitcoin maximalists and love it but we are in the minority compared to the crypto community. If you join other social networks, you will see many people only like altcoins, they are not interested in bitcoin as we think.
Trump is hated by the community because of what he does that negatively impacts the market, not because he issues tokens or shows interest in altcoins.

He became president to make America great again, to ensure the dominance of the USD on the world stage, I have never heard him say that Bitcoin is his top concern. Even if he did make that statement, it would be naive to think that a president of a superpower would spend much time and put bitcoin above the nation's mission.

Whatever his foreign policy, he has kept his promise to make Bitcoin a reserve currency. I believe he will plan better for Bitcoin in the future. Moreover, since they have approved Bitcoin Reserve currency, it means they also plan to keep Bitcoin for a long time. And such a move can definitely help increase the price of Bitcoin greatly. During his term, the price of Bitcoin can also increase by several times. Moreover, he has just taken charge and he has to spend a lot of time on various policy reforms. Of course, we will be able to see his better plans for Bitcoin and at the same time they will be implemented.

I live in Scandinavia and have traveled all over Europe, but I’ve never been to the US, so I can’t judge things there too objectively. That said, I find it pretty amusing how everything revolves around Trump, especially how his critics often tie everything to Russia. It’s like a never-ending drama show!

[Shishir99]

You all thought Trump love bitcoin? But his policies is not making sense for bitcoin price to increase. His tariff plan on import of goods from Canada and Mexico caused the price of bitcoin to decrease. He paused it but later said yesterday that the tariff will become effect starting from next week. Bitcoin fell again and now below $90000.

This guy always seemed mentally unstable. But he is too expert in politics. You will have to be ready to expect the unexpected things from him. He seems too aggressive in everything. Did you guys follow how he has been behaving with other political leaders? Have you guys heard about what happened in the Oval Office in Zelensky and Trump's meeting?

America is trying to rule the entire world (probably ruling already). Nobody can speak against them. Zelensky was advised to praise Trump in the meeting, which he did not, resulting in chaos.

As for Bitcoin, I don't know. He may come with a statement that Bitcoin is a scam. We should ban it and make Trump coin a legal tender. LOL.

Trump is also unbalanced in politics. Proof of this is his tariff policy, as a result of which he began to cancel the high customs duties he himself introduced in relation to other countries, including Canada, since they began to hit the United States hard.

The conflict in the Oval Office with Zelensky was planned by Trump to humiliate Zelensky and force him to sign a humiliating capitulation of Ukraine in the war with Russia. Trump failed to do this either. This also proves that Ukraine was not under the manual control of the United States, as some claimed on this forum.

But the situation with the war in Ukraine and Trump's attitude towards it will continue to change rapidly after Russia refuses to fulfill Trump's conditions for a peaceful resolution of the war it unleashed. Before that, there was gross pressure on Ukraine, and there will be similar pressure on Russia.

Of course, if Trump is not an agent of the Russian FSB under the pseudonym "Krasnov", as former employees of the USSR KGB say.

Yeah. I am not from the US, so I was never too interested to know what happens there and which politicians are better than others. But as far as I know, Trump is a kind of mad man. He can change his attitude overnight for his own benefit. Trump often says "I don't think I said that" and acts like he does not remember. But the reality is, he is a politician and he knows how to manipulate people.

I never liked Trump, but due to his crypto friendly behaviour, I was manipulated. But my point of view regarding Trump has changed now. This guy can ban Bitcoin anytime. I believe this will affect him as well. But who cares? I don't think he will be elected again in the future.

[WillyAp]

With the US actions the last month it becomes clear that the US wishes to be alone.
A drastic change from we gonna protect you so you don't need to go nuclear. To you need to pay for protection.

Trump has never been a big bitcoin enthusiast. He saw this as part of his election strategy because he couldn't be sure whether every single vote counts. I personally think that people voting for Trump only because of some bitcoin statements he made is stupid. It is dumb. A vote carries some weight and if that weight consists only of a person's interest in bitcoin, that is quite sad then. But everyone can do as they please, however what caught be me by surprise was the expectations people had in regards to Trump being pro bitcoin. You could notice that he has no idea about the technology, the few sentences he spoke here and there were studied sentences from his advisors. He never gave a more in depth talk as to why he thinks this technology could be important. To sum it up there was no serious sign that Trump truly stands behind supporting bitcoin to thrive. He only sees markets and values and since bitcoin gained value and his family is into cryptocurrencies, he will of course do a couple of things that could benefit it. Just see how this freak launched meme coins...

So we had Bitcoin ETF applied during second Obama period, which got rejected, we had Bitcoin ETF applied during first Trump period and got rejected, but we had Bitcoin ETF applied and got approved during Biden period? That would put Biden as the most pro-crypto president that we had so far. I still believe Biden doesn't even know what a bitcoin is, but at least he hired the right people to make this happen and become a reality.

We do not have real Bitcoin reserves under Trump "yet", sure it could happen because he really wants it to happen, he said so many times, but we do not have it yet. Basically, what the plan is, whenever government seizes bitcoin from anywhere, they just keep it at a reserve, instead of sell them. Makes total sense to me, still not enough to drive the bitcoin market higher high.

[Perfectbaby]

The pattern seem to be forming, every after bull run, there is an exchange that will fall before the bears dominate. Last bull run it was FTX and now I think its going to be bybit.

Why relating Bybit to what is going on and with what happened to FTX? It is not related to what is happening now and FTX collapse. Bybit hack was of huge amount but Bybit was able to make its exchange not collapse. It has nothing to do with the price of bitcoin that is falling right now.

There is something people don't usually understand about the market, the market doesn't always remain static or keep going higher as they think most times we could undergo bear and this doesn't mean that we won't witnessed bull any longer because there could be some news that may affect the overall market performance. Of course all these news are things that is really influencing market and it wouldn't be that stable till FUD is over.

[shinratensei_]

he's bullish and all about crypto which is pretty great.

but from his recent policy, not really great, his current moves on tariff seem to further distance its relationship with their allies.
can you imagine giving tariff to canada and australia out of whim, that's what I always pictured on trump recent policies.
just doesn't make sense to me at all. moreover it keeps making economic turmoil.

They are just hype with the milestone achieve by Bitcoin and they think the pump would just continue especially that Trump has plan to create a Strategic reserve with Bitcoin.

But they get disappointed with the result especially when its officially announce and nothing happens. The market decline and the pump which they have expected didn't came. This situation that we should never expect automatically that there's a price growth on some good news happened and sometimes its really bad to listen with FUDS and hypes. So instead of getting bothered with those things it maybe more better for people to continue to buy Bitcoin and just ignore anything that can distract their focus.

Trump is a good man but recently I don't like the way he had been moving and behaving about his tariff plans and other things.
He is taking things too far and it does not make sense. It seems like like drama and he is ready for it this time. He has been pressuring all his allies and trying to make life difficult for all his neighbors that are supposed to be friendly but this time around his is not ready to make peace his them. He gave Canada and Mexico 25% tariff which does not make any sense, it seems like he's back to continue what he started in his previous tenure but I think this time is much harder and it too extreme. I hope he would reconsider his plans about many of his decisions.

one thing you should know is that Trump is a capitalist and he's concerned about the economy of US and nothing more, he only wants to gain in every gesture that's the nature of a capitalist. So I'm not surprised atal on his actions on trades and others, is just his nature.  Expect more tariff from him, but he's a good manager he will use the money judicious for the best interest of the Americans that's should be our major concern, he is not a leader who accumulate wealth for himself, he was very rich before politics.

I like Trump because he is a leader with political will, he made a decision and act on it, without fear or favour.  Trump is taking these decisions knowingly fully well that he won't contest again so he will make America great by all means.
