Democrats win and BTC pumps. Just saying...

[legiteum]

People who market to Bitcoiners about how bad the Democrats are / how awesome the Republicans are for the price of Bitcoin are just trying to sell you something. They are partisans who just want their favorite party or favorite president elected for reasons unrelated to Bitcoin (for instance, they may be pro-Measles).

Bitcoin went up 500% under president Biden. Bitcoin dropped almost in half after Trump was elected. The numbers can't get any more clear than this: Republicans don't pump Bitcoin (I don't think Democrats necessarily pump Bitcoin either in the long run, but they don't hurt it either).

If you want to vote for Republicans because you want masked goons crawling all over US streets murdering people, then by all means vote Republican.

But don't let anybody tell you their vote is about Bitcoin. It's not.

It's easier to show that your aren't a partisan by saying it's same for both parties, from this your post it's clear that you are a partisan even though you have your reasons it still can't take away the fact that you are partisan.
You are literally condemning one party and glazing the other.
I think both parties don't determine the future of Bitcoin this is the best way to put it, no being gentle on one side and harsh in the other side.

Halving was the trigger for Bitcoin ATH, and then coincidentally Trump got elected on that time, what worked as a boost for Bitcoin price increasement back then.

The market in general traditionally reacts positively when right wing politicians win the elections, due to their alignment with liberal economical measures, which tend to give more freedom to entrepreneurs, while not creating/raising taxes.

On the other hand, Bitcoin is a double edge sword on this matter, as it can be also benefited when leftist politicians win the elections, since investors get fearful of their abusive economical measures which charges high taxes to maintain a crowded and ineffective public machine running, so Bitcoin can become a safe haven for investors' funds in that case.

All things considered equal...

The AI bubble is still very real and energy is still very short.

Don't we see that the same people who are so-called the policymakers within government settings are still part of the giant holders in Bitcoin? I do say it time and again that these people will not come to the public and declare the worth of Bitcoin assets. They get about the way the campaign against it and what others are suggesting regarding Bitcoin; all these are politically motivated, and they have an agenda to ensure that the market tries to play around the ongoing events that are happening within the economic and political system.

I reckon he's got his reasons for being biased. For the past two years he's been arguing with diehard Trump fans who keep saying Bitcoin hit $126k thanks to Trump, some even claiming it didn't grow at all under Biden. That's not true.

So it's no wonder OP's reaction swings the other way.

Bang on. Bitcoin is in its 18th year now, and for almost two decades it's kept growing no matter who's sitting in the Oval Office, Republican or Democrat.
It doesn't care about any of that, and if it hits a roadblock it just adapts. Simple as that.

Democrats yes, because the Republicans didn't keep to their end of the bargain, before Trump came in to office he got sponsored by core crypto investors, but when he got there he chose to build his own tokens and exploit more riches from the ecosystem. Presently his crypto investments and wealth is said to be investigated by the Democrats, it wasn't upto 24 hrs since it was declared, wallets linked to Trump Media moved 4,259 BTC. What would you make out of it?

Which is EXACTLY as I predicted and tried to warn everybody about back in 2024. Almost the entire Bitcoin community was for Trump, partially because of their promises, but mostly because of ideologues who simply wanted Trump elected for non-Bitcoin related reasons. Bitcoin folks bought it because they only say Number Go Up.

Trump doesn't care about Bitcoin (or basically anybody else on the planet not named Trump).

Most of the danger is over now since Trump no longer controls Congress. But he can still make a huge mess with his corruption, which will cause a popular backlash against Bitcoin. As I said recently, whether the Democrats do anything with Bitcoin/crypto will depend on whether there's a mess or not. If lots of consumers lose money because of a scandal--especially one caused by Trump--then there will be popular support for a crackdown on Bitcoin. If nothing happens, I doubt Democrats will waste their time with the whole subect.

Presently his crypto investments and wealth is said to be investigated by the Democrats, it wasn't upto 24 hrs since it was declared, wallets linked to Trump Media moved 4,259 BTC. What would you make out of it?

Specifically? I have no idea. Generally, he's going to do whatever we can to maximize his profits and he operates effectively above the law since he will pardon everybody around him and also himself.

So ask yourself, if you could just do anything you wanted, legal or illegal, what would you do? (I cannot say I've spent much time thinking about this ). But that's your answer.

I just looked at Bitfinex. Bitcoin is down almost 5% for the 24hr period. Even Bitcoin knows that Dems are losers.

It's because Trump dumped a bunch of his Bitcoin and people are freaked out about it (as they should be).

So I was right about Dems. They didn't see this coming because they are... as I said.

The reason the price of bitcoin is dropping is related to energy availability - anything else is a coincidence.  Look at Elon Musks' Colossus 2 - sucking water from the irreplaceable aquifer.   He promised to build a water purification system for local wastewater, but that priority has shifted to boosting the output of the data center, still sucking the aquifer dry.   Not to mention the pollution, carbon monoxide and noise.

If you want to vote for Republicans because you want masked goons crawling all over US streets murdering people, then by all means vote Republican.

And what did you intend selling here on this campaign against the Republicans?
If the Political party is as that barbaric or violent, why's the international authorities not sanction or ban them?
I trusts that the US politics has also been fully regulated and standard enough not to afford letting any existing political protocol threatens his citizens and masses like that.
Talking about bitcoin in the political sectors or discussions may be politically engineered. Politics hadn't been a game to trust.
It's better known that no all that glitters are gold.

I don't think I was trying to "sell" anything. Besides, the election is over.

Huh? Like they stopped the death camps in Poland and Germany in 1938? Fortunately the US democracy can finally change things, but before that, there wasn't much anybody could do.

I trusts that the US politics has also been fully regulated and standard enough not to afford letting any existing political protocol threatens his citizens and masses like that.

Thousands of "I Voted" stickers were placed on the memorials of the Americans murdered by ICE in the last week. The Republicans just suffered the biggest loss of any party in the USA in 50 years.

It took less than 24 hours for this thread to age more horribly than any thread here ever has.  Congratulations!

Every couple of years we see some people come up with a new "correlation" between bitcoin price and something else that they've found and no matter how many times their speculation turns out wrong, they insist on it for a while until it's forgotten!

I guess some people will never learn that there is no "correlation" between Bitcoin and anything else (being slightly affected by something is different from having a correlation).

He got the power to infiltrate a whole market with his wealth but not in the wrong direction, that's greed, he's made the crypto guys look like clowns, he even blamed the crypto community for being the reason why the clarity act wasn't passed.

What Trump wanted out of the Clarity Act was to impose a set of rules for every citizen of the USA--except Donald Trump. Democrats in Congress told him to fuck off, of course--and he couldn't threaten enough Republicans to get it over the line. And now there's no chance of that ever happening. But he's going to probably veto any future iteration of the Clarity Act that doesn't include the carve out for him personally. The Clarity Act is going to need to wait until the Democrats have the White House again.

(By the way. can we take a moment to notice how totally batshit insane it is that we're discussing the US president trying to pass a law that exempts himself personally and allows him to unfairly compete with every other company in the world? I hope we never have this discussion again in the future of the USA).

We are not toddlers for anyone to use Bitcoin as a campaign strategy anymore, we are wiser than that.

I'm also surprised that after the election of Donald Trump who presented himself as a bitcoin activist during his presidential election campaign, but as soon as he assumed office he started making announcements that affected the crypto market especially during the Trump tariffs. Biden wasn't loud about his stance on cryptocurrency but as at 2021 when he became US president, Bitcoin got an ATH of $69k though I wouldn't say that Bitcoin didn't reach ATH after Trump became US president in 2025, it did got an ATH of $126k but it should have been higher considering the fact that Donald Trump disguise as someone who is in support of cryptocurrency

These are some of comments that Donald Trump said at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville 2024

• Promised to make the United States the "crypto capital of the planet".
• Vowed to establish a national Bitcoin stockpile and a presidential advisory council for cryptocurrency.
• Criticized the regulatory stance of the Biden-Harris administration.
