Bitcoin presidents

[peter0425]

In the recent Presidential election in Poland, pro-crypto Karol Nawrocki, has emerged victorious with a 51% vote share. Ahead of this tightly contested election, Nawrocki had vowed to support the crypto industry and stated that it would curb any regulations that prevent the “freedom of investing”. Poland’s crypto industry has high hopes from Nawrocki to improve the country’s crypto landscape.


Currently leading the polls is Lee Jae-myung of the center-left Democratic Party, who is up against staunch conservative and People Power Party nominee Kim Moon-soo. Lee has proposed legalizing spot crypto exchange-traded funds and wants to allow
South Korea’s $884 billion national pension fund to invest in cryptocurrency. Kim also supports legalizing spot crypto ETFs and backed Lee’s proposal, showing rare bipartisan alignment. He has also pledged to ease regulations and expand crypto adoption.

Back then, we only had Bukele (president of El salvador) as the national leader that was actively and loudly pushing for crypto adaption. Then Trump followed and now we have so many candidates for presidency and already presidents pushing for bitcoin. I think that this is a testament to how much bitcoin has grown that not only your average citizens know and use bitcoin but also presidents. Bitcoin mass adaption might come a lot sooner than everyone initially thought.

Every good thing takes time and that the best thing a country has to do is getting involve in what other presidents are doing to tackle the economic struggle or setting up a firm that can win over inflation. No president would ever have to be called a chaotic name if he cant deliver the citizen out of dept and bring them up to the luminous light of the latest technological system bringing liberations to the entire nation. No president would never feel left behind especially when the process of acquiring bitcoin is straight forward and no hindrance from any agency and the same time its self controllable.

Wishing the polish the best in their crypto journey.

Sometimes, crypto is used as a tool to win votes, there’s a growing part of the population involved in crypto, and they’d naturally support a president who pushes for fair regulation and protection for the space.

That’s actually good for us, especially if more leaders start making crypto-friendly policies. It could help the market grow overall.

We all know how strong the U.S. influence is. Now that Trump is showing support for crypto, it’s expected that others will follow. It’s starting to become the trend, it seems.

Never trust politicians that easily mate. No one of the guys has yet done what Bukele did... approving that bitcoin is a legal tender in their respective countries. Until then, I am not getting moved by the cheap political tricks. Those politicians can change their stance any time, especially after getting elected into power.

Mass adoption will naturally happen over time.

I don’t know politicians to always have the masses at heart for their best interest. It’s good to see some of them sail the course they had begun in the campaigns but, it’s always really a step to political office and how to hold power.

It is true that we have a couple of them politicians looking towards Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies but, you don’t really find them actively buying with fiat money. They rather rely on seizures and payment for mineral resources to build a Bitcoin portfolio.

[Wogenar]

Used to be unthinkable that there would be "bitcoin presidents" now it's a reality. Heads of state of some of the most well known countries are championing Bitcoin. Once more countries start adopting Bitcoin as legal tender that's when we'll see the real change and then in time Bitcoin will become reserve currency of the world and replace the US dollar. We're getting closer and closer to that dream.

[TheUltraElite]

Politicians and their crypto stance should be taken with a bag of salt. Throughout history politicians have been trying to use methods to increase their own pockets instead of using that to develop their countries. So when someone jumps on the bitcoin bandwagon, I see it with a lot of skepticism. The Trump administration of US is defenitely making an example but whether common bitcoin users are going to get ease of use or less problems on exchanges is debatable.

Still seeing someone join into the crypto band does incite some glimmer of hope among us bitcoiners.

[ranochigo]

It's bound to happen eventually. Bitcoin and crypto cannot be stopped and countries have learned to embrace it and find ways to utilize it effectively. The first step in this direction was when ETFs and big funds started including it in their portfolio. Since Bitcoin is woven into some of the biggest economies in the world, it'll be dumb to not try to find ways to utilize it as well.

yes as we have seen with trump, bitcoiners has now become a growing and popular demographic that could give a politician huge amount of support but what happens if all politicians are into crypto now? it doesn't just become an edge, it benefits the country already because whoever wins crypto will surely be supported

[aoluain]

Its all very positive news.

The tide is slowly turning from one of scepticism and negativity to one of positivity. I think
leaders are identifying and realising that "Crypto" can and will in the future play an important
role in a countries innovation and job creation.

I think I would like to see more of a clear definition between Crypto and Bitcoin because they
are different.

Crypto start up's and projects can do their own thing and be centralised entities with a disruptive
project in various areas but Bitcoin is obviously different and in the OP's quote snippets
Bitcoin is not specifically mentioned but I assume it will be built into any "Crypto" financial approach
from the Poland and South Korea.

I'll agree with otu that the El Salvador government is the legend that other governments has now been attracted to follow.
What I know about the individuals currently emerging to hold the staff of leadership such as the presidencies is that they've watched the world future from a distance and had sighted the geopolitical sentiments on stock regulations and manipulations has tendencies of crippling the world economy While decentralized blockchains like bitcoin as it maybe, it should be questionable why U.S would bargain on adopting bitcoin for federal reserve. That intuition specifically entaiks that there's going to be trouble in the Centralized markets.

It is a wake up call for other leaders that they also need to dive into Bitcoin. If they can't just invest on it quickly, they have to study on how it goes. Like these people, they've come to understand how it can impact their economies and there is no doubt that they've found a big thing about it. Now, they cannot ignore it anymore, the market capitalization has been increasing largely and this can contribute to their economies and as well as each of their citizens. There will be other known names to add to the few.

Don't enjoy this early yet, I feel uncomfortable when politicians get involved with Bitcoin.

First this is politics and its dirty, many politicians are too good to be true in their promise during the election but after they win it seems they have forgotten what promised they laid during their campaign.
Second, if the government is into Bitcoin heavily, should we worry about Bitcoin decentralization?  We know centralized authority does do not goes well with decentralized structure.

For now, i won't celebrate yet, and observe what would this politician do with Bitcoin and their promises if they won the election.

Not long ago crypto was seen as this fringe tech thing and now it’s part of presidential campaigns and national policy plans. When you see countries like Poland and South Korea seriously considering crypto friendly reforms, it really shows how mainstream the idea has become leaders. now realize that supporting crypto can be a strategic move both economically and politically maybe mass adoption isn’t that far off after all

It's good on the one hand and bad on the other - more and more people will only use crypto as a lever to get more influence / votes.

My prayer is that Trump's support for bitcoin should be in good faith and for the actual development of the crypto space and world and not just motivated by political campaigns, cheap popularity and political scorecards. Because if that is the case, we will not feel the real impact in the long run. Like you rightly say, the US economy will play a pivotal role in the crypto space once they embark on crypto friendly policies that will strengthen crypto adoption over the country, it will bolster the value of the digital currencies across the world especially the Bitcoin will see a significant rise.

Regarding this, i still believe that Nayib Bukele still stand as the leader of them all, because he first move for the adoption of bitcoin and there is no other country that has been progressive with bitcoin adoption and legal tender as they have achieved, though the impact of Trump and the likes of bitcoin ETF have also helped in the market pump and push for more adoption, but El-Salvador still remained a unique significance to the entire world to follow their footsteps when it comes to bitcoin adoption.

Bitcoin mass adaption might come a lot sooner than everyone initially thought.

I think this is already happening except we are not aware of it, if you look into the bitcoin network and how its adoption rate has increased from the previous, then you will observed that many things have led to the massive increase and this still continues.

I do think it's mostly about the profit and potential in question, not a good nature or a desire to make something toward the space just because it's the future - it's an opportunity for prestige to be brought upon the US once again.

Trump did mention he wanted to be the crypto capital of the world and I believe that the US really has the potential to be that. I do believe it may have started for him to win votes but now with many other countries coming and wanting to get into bitcoin, Trump ma have to rethink his approach to bitcoin lest he wants to be surpassed by other countries in terms of innovation and whatnot.

The Bitcoin loyal community has been promoting Bitcoin since the beginning with all its advantages and disadvantages and maintaining Bitcoin as a valuable asset in the future without expecting anything in return.

Bitcoin as a revolutionary currency system has recently become popular and the number of supporters is increasing every day because they are starting to realize what benefits are obtained on Bitcoin so it is not surprising that politicians are also not silent to take advantage of this situation to politics. Only a few politicians really care about Bitcoin. Others they think more about their personalities.

Bukele we know as a pro-Bitcoin president and Bukele has proven by making the country he leads the first country to legally tender Bitcoin without ruling out fiat currency.
Trump has yet to show any real evidence as he is more likely to issue his own coin.
Argentina is also included as a country with a president that we know is pro-crypto.
