As expected, Trump couldn't hold a candle to @RobertKennedyJr on his understanding of the need for and benefits of Bitcoin but he did pander enough to the Bitcoin community to get applause and donations. We have come a long way from Trump calling Bitcoin a scam. A strategic Bitcoin reserve for America is a great idea and I'm happy to hear Trump embrace it There is no way he has anywhere near the knowledge base or the passion for freedom that @RobertKennedyJr expressed yesterday but it is pretty historic to hear the leader in the presidential race talking about his support for Bitcoin. Truthfully I have no idea whether or not Trump is genuine here or not as he has historically shit on Bitcoin but folks tell me he's coming around and has been Orange pilled. I'm suspicious but we will see what happens. Biggest question I have regarding the direction that Trump will take with the economy and the $ will be who he chooses for Treasury secretary. Most of the choices being thrown around so far are Wall Street or hedge fund guys who are going to make it harder to really change up the monetary policy system in a way that Bitcoiners believe is necessary. However, a move in another direction toward a hard money advocate would suggest real potential for fundamental change. Time will tell.
