Eric Trump: Being targeted and deplatformed makes me believe even more in the future of crypto On October 27, Eric Trump, the second son of Donald Trump, shared in an interview with *The Iced Coffee Hour* channel that Bitcoin as 'digital gold' is already a foregone conclusion. He asserted that the SWIFT system will disappear, finance will shift to 24/7 operations, and DeFi will replace traditional financial roles through smart contracts. He pointed out that the development of the crypto space is far outpacing the internet boom of the 1990s and predicted that within 5-10 years, the financial landscape will be completely transformed by cryptocurrencies. Eric admitted that his interest in crypto stems from his personal experiences of being 'targeted, cut off by banks, and deplatformed.' He realized that 'the people in the ivory tower' control everything, and the widespread adoption of crypto will ensure that this authoritarian control becomes a thing of the past.
