I think this has a strong symbolism, a former US president and possible the next one is "using bitcoin"

What are your thoughts? Bullish?

I hope he is very serious and there is no deception The Bitcoin community, is waiting for something big to happen and Trump could be the one who can contribute to that, although I have second thought of his sincerity because we are in election fever.

I'm not a US voter, but I support, anything and persons who promote Bitcoin adoption, and if Trump is serious and he wins the presidency, then we will have a good sign and we are going to go bullish.

I still see and strongly believe that all this things are political moves. Trump seems to be a very smart person, and he clearly knows how to be on the news especially when it has to do with Bitcoin related and it's community.

What he does now is literally a campaign strategy that seem to be working for him, but what I think is more important, is to see if all this things will continue, if he eventually ends up becoming the elected president by vote.

Before the election, Donald Trump is looking at Bitcoin very strongly!  Do you think that this is a political move?  Today's action by Donald Trump pumped up the Bitcoin price a good amount. However, I see Donald Trump's strong support for Bitcoin as a positive. And this will have a very positive impact on the price of Bitcoin. And if Trump wins the election, that news will increase the price of Bitcoin very quickly. I really enjoying these things. and waiting for bull run

If you have experienced many governments and tenures, you will know that trusting politicians is never the best because they can quickly change from all the promises that they made during elections. Don't trust those people. Trump is the first official politician to make such a transaction, but I am thinking that there must be other politicians who have secret investments in bitcoins and have made tens to thousands of unofficial, unannounced transactions

Although Trump is a politician, we must not forget that Trump is a businessman who certainly understands crypto and its popularity so far. So when Trump makes transactions with Bitcoin, it has a positive impact on the market. Because when we read this news, the market goes up again. Maybe many other politicians keep funds in Bitcoin, because they can't expose their wealth and we understand why.

Trump has long been associated with Bitcoin, even before this election. But this time Trump made good use of the moment by doing a lot of interaction with Bitcoin. This is certainly one of the important steps so that there is a lot of support from crypto users.

If Trump is elected, it is hoped that crypto will be more advanced and become a promising future technology, not just a nonsense because of the election strategy.

Rather than Kamala Harris who was initially clearly not in favor of Bitcoin and tended to drop Bitcoin.

What are your thoughts? Bullish?

It's just part of the pre-election campaign. Pure manipulation.

Let's remember, Biden was even against Bitcoin, but during his reign, Bitcoin touched historical value (2x), approved ETF, and brought many regulations... Too much "good" from someone who didn't listen to all the bells and whistles about Bitcoin.

I think there's no doubting the fact that the Donald's Trump's recent moves in cryptocurrency are politically motivated. The former US president is trying everything possible to buy the mind of the people so they can vote him in. That being said, I think it's also a welcome development for cryptocurrency and Bitcoin in particular because if for any reason Donald Trump succeeds in his bid to return to the White House, I don't think he's gonna refrain from his interests in cryptocurrency and Bitcoin in general

[Jating]

Of course, this is a welcoming news to see a former US President and have a chance to become the US President again making his first Bitcoin transaction. But let's see if this is going to be bullish for us, maybe if he won and then making another transaction will be good sign.

But for now, let's say this is just for pure show off as they are still courting voters for their favor. And so there could be crypto enthusiast in the US who might sway and vote for Trump because of this act.

[Rubel007]

I applaud Donald Trump's move on Bitcoin. If he can be elected as the US President, then there will be a big upswing in the crypto platform, just as there will be a change in American politics. Trump's support for Bitcoin is definitely positive for the platform as many will be encouraged to adopt Bitcoin.

But I'm worried how it will affect in the long run? If Trump supports Bitcoin, will his opposite party in power oppose Bitcoin? How will she comment on Bitcoin? It would have been better for Bitcoin if it had kept Bitcoin neutral position. But since no one can control it completely there is no reason to worry about it. Let's support this groundbreaking policy of Trump. He has taken very good decisions this moment.

we already know he has positive outlook to crypto/bitcoin or at least that is what he wants us to think

i think this being his first bitcoin transaction shows that he wasn’t really into bitcoin in the first place and this could just be a ploy but either way this seems a good news for bitcoin

What are your thoughts? Bullish?

nothing i don’t think this will drive the bitcoin’s price way too much i can’t imagine this to be anything bad either but i wouldn’t expect it to hike bitcoin’s price and even set ath

[NotATether]

We know that bitcoin is one of the best profitable crypto currency in this moment. So i believe that bitcoin transactions will be best profitable for us. We know that Donald Trump also transaction in bitcoin, so i believe that it’s the best opportunity for cryptocurrency world. We also know that donald trump looking bitcoin in very well. So i think that if donald trump win in election, then bitcoin price will be increase gradually. At last we told that if we want to transaction in bitcoin it will be success for us.

To be honest I would probably buy hamburgers with Bitcoin too. If anyone around here actually accepted Bitcoin that is. Since that is not the case, then most of us are going to have to rely on crypto debit cards that can be (re)loaded in Bitcoin and other coins. That should take care of the majority of stores.

Your signature is off by the way, it was not copied and pasted properly.

Lately I've started to think that not all voters know about Trump's crypto successes.
Most likely, only we, the crypto-ers, know about his WLFI crypto, TRUMP tokens (I don't think this one is his). And as far as I remember, he launched NFT.
I wonder - does he primarily consider his crypto initiatives from the point of view of profit? or hype among crypto-ers?

It's just part of the pre-election campaign. Pure manipulation.
Let's remember, Biden was even against Bitcoin, but during his reign, Bitcoin touched historical value (2x), approved ETF, and brought many regulations... Too much "good" from someone who didn't listen to all the bells and whistles about Bitcoin.

If we're going to be honest, Biden had no idea what BTC was, and he has no idea even today, but it's obvious that the average investor in cryptocurrencies has a very short memory and doesn't remember who was the US president from 2016-2020 and what he said about this topic.

The real title of this news should be "Trump watched others pay for "something" with BTC", because he didn't pay anything, nor did I see that he ate a hamburger - he just left as if he didn't care about it at all.

[MUGNIA]

whatever trump does to btc right now i enjoy it because i profit from what trump does, so if trump is elected president i am sure btc holders will go to the moon in the next bull run

[target]

He is running for president and anything he does today can be considered political even if it doesn't look like it. Trump is banking on votes from crypto people so showing the world he appreciates BTC and helping its adoption is kinda like a campaign.

Its surprising though that he can walk to a fast food rrstaurant and order. Theres already 2 assasination attempt to him so he better keep himself safe.
