Bitcoin presidents

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.

Indeed this is great news, and reading this makes me want to say "what a day to be alive 😁", massive adoption will indeed happen sooner than we think, and it's going to be very massive, I can't wait..

And with all this great news, one may be wondering why the price of Bitcoin and the entire crypto market isn't responding or reacting positively, and my answer would be that this is just the calm before the storm hits, when it's time for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to react to all of this good news, it's going to be massive, we will likely see a price surge like nothing we've never seen before, and I will be hodling to witness this happen.

Congratulations to bitcoin and the cryptocurrency community, this is a another win for the ecosystem.

This is going to continue, countries and institutions will keep following in the footsteps of the U.S. and other countries that have adopted BTC in one way or another. Another thing is how presidents now use BTC for their campaigns, lol, it is not bad though, but it shows that BTC is becoming very very popular and crypto people now hold a large percentage of the population in many countries. It is an exciting and great time to be a bitcoiner with all of these developments happening.

It's like a new crypto movement's happening in all continents. There hasn't been a year from bitcoin's creation we've seen presidents & prime ministers accepting crypto in the same time. They're running countries so they'll make decisions to improve crypto use.

[Patikno]

I think that currently many politicians are using Bitcoin as a tool for their campaigns, so it attracts the attention of many people, especially for Bitcoin or crypto activists. Just like in my country, some time ago before our president was elected, they were talking about Bitcoin, even it seemed like he would seriously focus on Bitcoin when he was elected president later, but in fact until now he has not realized anything related to Bitcoin in my country, even recently when the issue resurfaced there was still no certainty or response regarding the issue that Bitcoin would become a strategic reserve in my country, there was no response let alone a policy to realize it.

Therefore, I am skeptical of politicians lately, maybe if there are more who campaign while carrying the name of Bitcoin, then I think we need to see at least how much they know about Bitcoin, is it just a bluff, or do they really understand it.

El Salvador president was the first president that made bitcoin legal tender in his country, before other presidents begin to take the same step he took to summon courage to make bitcoin popular today, What we are seeing now in bitcoin is a small thing compare what is going to happen when the world adopt it and also make it legal tender all over the world, then you will know that bitcoin is the best coin presidents and citizens should allow in their various countries.

This is good news for Poland in particular and the Bitcoin community in general. The election of a president who supports Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will have a positive impact on the country's openness to Bitcoin and this is generally good news.

I see things accelerating after Trump's victory and his fulfillment of his campaign promises regarding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. America is a world leader and its openness to Bitcoin will encourage all countries to follow suit. We recently saw how it reversed its stance on Bitcoin from banning it to accepting it and launching mining projects.

Although the president of El Salvador is the first president to officially adopt Bitcoin, he does not have the influence of Trump and El Salvador does not have the influence of the United States.

I hope they do it for the betterment of crypto and its use by common people, just like how smartphones revolutionized the telecom sector.

Most politicians have some sort of agenda, I agree that it is not wrong to have one, but at least it should not hurt the common people, development of the country and the taxpayers money.

If they balance making money and crypto adoption, I think it will work out. Lets just hope these are not just political stunts but actual promises that get delivered.

[arabspaceship123]

More politicians are liking crypto so they'll make fresh laws which help ppl in their country use more crypto. It's going to be regulated but there's a new group of politicians who're saying they'll make crypto easy for ppl in their country.

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.

You are 100% right about this sir, most of this politicians knows that the most active set's of people in cryptocurrency are the younger generation, so in other to easily buy their minds, is to be crypto friendly, and this is the exact strategy Donald trump used in winning the Us election convincingly.

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.

It's just a matter of time before cryptocurrency is being generally accepted by all because by looking at most nations presently, they have started utilizing Bitcoin as part of their strategic reserve, and even the countries that was initially against it is are now following suit, so as it stands now, it's just a matter of time before it will be generally accepted around the world.

Just like I said in another thread, we will have more presidents who are in support of bitcoins from most countries soon. The political landscape is shifting, old politicians being replaced by younger ones who surely hold a different opinion on bitcoins.
In the coming years, we will see more policies from different countries in support of bitcoin.

Do you think that politics and politicians will allow BTC to be a decentralized cryptocurrency that they will support at the expense of their national currencies? What the politicians are doing is just an attempt to divert BTC in the direction where their mentors want it, namely the banks and large corporations that protect fiat and central banks at all costs.

Step 1 - buy as much BTC as possible without attracting much attention while controlling the largest BTC mining farms.

Step 2 - force everyone who does business with BTC to do strict AML checks, which has the effect of discouraging people from paying with it, because any transaction can be marked as "dirty" if analyzed deeply enough.

Step 3 - implement a hard fork of BTC that will enable maximum control over BTC - which will not be a problem if they have millions of BTC in their possession and if they control all large mining farms.

It's really strange to see so many old members who think that BTC's success must come through politics - as if they've ever done any good for the world.

They will say many things - but as it was outlined, they would still think about the control most, definitely, more than anything else, be it BTC or CBDCs..

[Marykeller]

I am beginning to feel that, politicians will be using Bitcoin as the way to drum for support on their side because they know that each country has a good number of people in Bitcoin investment, if they should support Bitcoin, they have won the heart of many of their citizens that are into Bitcoin to vote for them.

You know that politicians can't be held to their words, they can promise heaven on earth, to later do what they please, not to go on with their plans. I just hope all those aspiring for president in their country won't turn around to have less regard for Bitcoin after their country's citizens have voted for them to win

And politicians continue to use Bitcoin as toilet paper during their campaigns, and as soon as they win the elections, Bitcoin is discarded as toilet paper is supposed to be after used. There is nothing admirable about it... It's pure opportunism which doesn't revert any good to Bitcoin on long run.

The only positive aspect is the fact Bitcoin price may rise temporarily, so it's a good opportunity to make profit, but besides this aspect, nothing else is good. If you compare 10 years ago to nowadays, you will see how bureaucratic and restrictive this industry has become. The simplicity we had back then just disappeared due to politicians and their regulations.

Therefore, the less interference we have from them, the better it's going to be for autonomous individuals who just want to escape from the abuses of governments through a more decentralized system.

[Ojima-ojo]

At this point of time, we need to be very careful as to how we take all this politicians during campaign, because after the get the public support via the use of tools such as cryptocurrency a d Bitcoin to win the heart of they electrate.


If when they get to office, the throw away all the election promises, and face they business as if nothing happens, so for any politicians that need Bitcoin community support there is need for at least positive steps taken to show that really they are involved in the struggle instead using it to win elections just like most of them have done already.

[Agbamoni]

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.

The phrase "Bitcoin President" sound absurd to me honestly. I will take it as hype, because Bitcoin don't need, and shouldn't have any president.
It’s mostly symbolic or dramatic, to describe someone who is associated with Bitcoin adoption, not someone with actual power over it. I will go on with the flow since this is the case.

Politicians use everything to achieve their political goals, not just bitcoin. Just because we are bitcoin investors and it is what we care about the most, we think they only use bitcoin. But in reality, Bitcoin is just one tool among hundreds of different tools they are using. So don't be surprised or disappointed when politicians get elected, they forget about bitcoin or their promises.

But in my opinion, with the growth and popularity of bitcoin spreading globally. Even if politicians do not use it for political purposes, they still have to keep an eye on it if they do not want their country to become backward.
 

[arabspaceship123]

They'll make laws backing crypto because many politicians & their families have invested in crypto. They'll say things because they want to control it they don't want crypto to be independent from govt regulations.

They will say many things - but as it was outlined, they would still think about the control most, definitely, more than anything else, be it BTC or CBDCs..

At the end of the day it's all about crypto when elections happen as if they are pro crypto especially for bitcoin.
But reflecting on before, of course we realize that sometimes this condition should not be used as a reference, especially for us bitcoin lovers as if they are people who deserve to be supported because don't forget that we have felt this before for Trump so that things like this cannot be used as a reference.

I am not banning or not supporting because more precisely I don't really care about them whether they will be in bitcoin or not but in this context it would be better if we don't need to make this seem like something big or high expectations because after all crypto lovers are currently very large and they politicians will do everything possible to get votes so that their intentions are achieved so don't let this be a weakness for crypto lovers to be shaken just because they recognize themselves as pro-crypto and try to support all forms so that the politician's goals are achieved without much effort because they succeeded in overwriting most crypto lovers with their words.

I am already seeing that we Bitcoiners are giving these politicians the opportunity to be manipulative. They manipulate their way into office and still try to manipulate the price of Bitcoin once they get into office.

It is good to have pro-Bitcoin presidents, as some countries still need a favourable environment to mine, trade, and invest in Bitcoin. However, I still prefer that we see each presidential candidate for who they truly are, and not just because they claim to be pro-Bitcoin. We are talking about politicians and they can say or do anything just to win.

Well, he is there already. Let's see what policies he has for Bitcoin and how he will handle them. All fingers are still crossed.

Because most of the bitcoiners, especially those in the government who want to be led by these politicians, give considerable expectations if in the end they are elected so that it seems as if they can be the answer to a greater increase in value or policies that will be more profitable when they take office. As if they could be an answer to a greater increase in value or a policy that would be more profitable when he took office but in this condition of course we cannot fully trust politicians because it must be remembered that in the end they politicians are not too different from influencers who will indeed take personal advantage where by moving the mass they have they can get these greater benefits and obviously things like this are not too trustworthy later because it could be that their words today will be different from their words tomorrow.

Indeed, on the one hand it would be quite good to have a leader who is pro bitcoin but on the other hand this can also be a double-edged knife where this can be overused just to achieve what they want (in this case the affairs of office in a country) we certainly already know what happened to the US with Trump where when he was hailed but now not a few people do not respect and may not even care and it is likely that something like this will also happen to other politicians with the same goals and intentions when elections occur in their respective countries where initially they are pro bitcoin but when in office the treatment will be different. Politics is hard even more leading to disgusting and actually unethical if it involves linking bitcoin with something like this.
