'Bitcoin Seems Like a Scam': Former US President Donald Trump

[Markuri33]

Donald Trump said Bitcoin is a scam and lamented what he claimed was another currency competing against the U.S. Dollar. "Bitcoin just seems like a scam," he said, adding, "I don't like it because it's another currency competing against the dollar. I want the dollar to be the currency of the world; that's what I've always said."

During his time in the White House, Trump was similarly critical of Bitcoin, describing it—and other cryptocurrencies—as assets that are "not money" and whose value is "highly volatile and based on thin air."

But if you ask former White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci (we did), Trump didn't even write that tweet in the first place. Scaramucci suggested to Decrypt that Trump had been told he needed to opine about Bitcoin, and the tweet was crafted for him.source

And that has been said by the same person who mistakes Austria with Australia , an eminence in international ridicule. To think that someone like Trump (and other world leaders) had very close buttons to launch nuclear missiles should cause all of humanity to reconsider politics as we know it today. Every time Trump opens his mouth he amazes me again .
