Trump
July 16, 2024
In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Donald Trump revealed that cryptocurrencies will not disappear, which is great. The U.S. cryptocurrency industry has a good foundation. It is still in its infancy. But I don't want other countries to take over this field. Trump stated that he had met many top figures from the cryptocurrency industry during political fundraising events. Regarding the current shift towards embracing the cryptocurrency industry, Trump said, "If we don't do it, China will take over, or another country, but it's likely to be China. China takes this very seriously."
In the interview, Trump also mentioned that he will launch his fourth NFT series. Trump described his previous series as "very successful," selling out within a day. The entire series sold out, with 45,000 cards. I did it three times, and I plan to do it again because people want me to do it again. This spirit is incredible. It's beautiful.

He promised to support users' autonomy and told the 50 million cryptocurrency holders in the United States: "I will keep Elizabeth Warren and her henchmen away from your Bitcoin and will never allow the creation of central bank digital currencies."

He continued, "We have some incredible things happening, I mean, looking back a few years ago at cryptocurrency, people said it wouldn't succeed, but now its numbers are breaking records. I guess you could say it's a form of currency, and I support that, I increasingly support that." When asked how he would change the hostile U.S. policy of expelling cryptocurrency companies abroad, he said, "We will stop it, because I don't want that, I don't want that.
