Yeah he can claim so, meanwhile, despite the whole market in green his stocks are looking like some shitcoin

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.

People have short memories, it's pretty funny how foreigners tell Americans like Phil to vote for Trump cause it's good for Bitcoin when Trump slapped the bitcoin tax and the Bitcoin tariff on gear when he was president.
As for his "buy" it looked like some kid telling his grand grandfather where to touch the magic screen to make a selfie.

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.

during the campaign period what the candidate does will have political value and be considered to have an interest in getting votes or support from the crypto community. Trump has done well, although his haters will say otherwise. but as a crypto investor I support trump.

while the majority approve or condemn Trump politically, many have neglected the fact that their hero emphasizes pro-economic policies, which are helpful in crypto investment as we have witnessed. From the investors’ perspective, it is crucial to note those leaders that foster the general economic welfare of the population and ensure favorable conditions for innovation activity. In this case, as long as there are existing policies that can take the Backup for the Fintech currency and Digital assets, it can be seen as a way the crypto community can grow even bigger.

I think Trump's first Bitcoin transaction is very symbolic, not only for the crypto community, but also for people (voters) who don't know or haven't been in the crypto world yet. I think this is the most positive part of all this. The downside is that, as we know, Trump will do anything to get more votes, and election promises are just promises. In all this there is also a part of confrontation, with the law recently approved by Putin related to the mining of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. We will see how many promises Trump keeps if he is elected president again.

It's not that the past is the only thing we should remember, although it can be a good indicator of what awaits us in the future - so it's even more surprising that so many people think that a politician who is still up to his neck in illegalities can be good for Bitcoin in any meaning.

Telling Phil to vote for DT is the same as telling him to say something nice about ETH, given how that story ended for him. In addition, there is no doubt that @philipma1957 is a genius for transactions and mining, and that he is perhaps one of the oldest members on this forum - in conclusion @philipma1957 is much more intelligent than DT

Yeah, crypto fans telling people how the switch to PoS is great for gains then the next days saying that PoW is great so that's why BTC is strong depending on the topic title.

I just love it when there is some guy who doesn't have a clue about mining telling people in the US how great the news about DT is, it's a deja vu about how great mining in Salvador is going to be because....well. twitter! And every single time it's just funny, even here:

150 million people should vote for some guy because somebody needs desperately to make $10 out of his shitcoin due to FOMO!

Hmm, Bullish or bearish is gonna be when they comment on it and make any kind of development regarding promoting this market or putting some limitations, all goes with the journey and what matters is how you process it and take action on it, like if according to your learnings there's potential and you make good accumulation plan this what's important and if you think naah according to your learning its just a bubble take exit this what's important.

On a longer term perspective, such signs don't matter. Still, I'll process it as a good sign supporting my speculation that there's ultimate huge potential.

Whether Trump really cares with crypto future or not, I personally will also support him because he looks having the good intention to develop crypto. Sure, he has shown his seriousness in supporting crypto, why shouldn't we support him? At least, he has triggered crypto to have good trends in the market temporarily. His action and his statement have made people to be more optimistic with crypto future. Yep, as crypto enthusiasts, it is normal that we support him.

Trump is in the news again about Bitcoin. I think he's showing huge support for Bitcoin which is attracting him the kind of audience he is anticipating for the upcoming US presidential election. But we shouldn't be carried away by this because all these moves are politically backed to get the minds of America to think good of him that he will truly encourage and support the rise of Bitcoin in America.

My words are that politicians are never to be trusted especially when they are throwing their full support on a particular project because you can have them have a change of thoughts about that when elected

One of Trumps moves to make money is bankruptcy for profit.

So he will likely place shorts with his friends and then attack btc making a fortune on the shorts.

So I believe him that means he uses bankruptcy to fix shit in his favor

So i don’t believe him that means he is a poor businessman.


this does not bode well for crypto.

I think Trump is a pure businessman, he doesn't go in for something that won't give him the anticipated profits he is looking for. Since Bitcoin is what got his eyes of late, I think he will find ways to make huge profits from it for himself and his family. All these campaign promises he has about Bitcoin are what he stands to gain once he becomes president

Indeed, He is a businessman and also a politician. So he will do anything that benefits his party. And to gain sympathy, he conducted a crypto transaction in the days leading up to the election. The main goal is to gain sympathy from prospective voters, especially crypto enthusiasts.

Moreover, specifically for businessmen, I'm sure he must have a financial consultant, right, and of course he also understands crypto, that's why he dared to enter. And it could be because his party also understands the crypto conditions, if they can gain big profits to take profits during the bullrun, then why not. Especially with news like this, it makes the market green, so this also benefits us.

But we shouldn't expect too much besides that, so we just take advantage of the good opportunities when he or anyone is supporting crypto.

Very well said, after all, It is commonly said that the devil we know in and out is better than the angel we don't know - as much as I don't usually agree with this statement sometimes depending on the situation or circumstances it's used for, I think it's best suits this case of Trump verses Harris whom have not showed any support for Crypto even till this moment even while having recieved some campaign donations through bitcoin like Trump did.

Trump has shown his interest in crypto and have done well to prove it.
First, he took out time and attended a bitcoin conference, and now, he is buying something and making payment in bitcoin, and this shows that he is currently learning how crypto payments for goods and services works, this is commendable for an influential and busy person who also is the potential president of the USA, we all as crypto investors and enthusiasts must support him to attain that presidential seat, for if he wins, I believe crypto finally won.

[Parzival204]

news like this makes it clear that Trump will fully support Bitcoin. Not to mention from several of his previous speeches he said he would consider cryptocurrencies if he was elected in the next election.
Of course this will be Trump's political strategy to win over investors in America. considering that America is one of the countries that has many investors in crypto

[yhiaali3]

Frankly speaking, I was surprised. I did not expect Trump to go this far and buy some hamburgers with Bitcoin.

Although I see this as just an electoral media agenda, I have a strange feeling that this is similar to what some presidents in third world countries do when they appear on TV gently stroking the heads of poor children, giving them gifts and sweets, taking memorial photos with them and smiling at the screen, while in reality they are the ones who order planes and soldiers to kill children and innocent people in secret.

In any case, this is good advertising for Bitcoin and I hope I am wrong about Trump.

[God Of Thunder]

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 don't want to rely on politicians, as they can turn 360 degrees whenever they want. Trump has a history of criticizing Bitcoin in 2019, but we noticed that his point of view has changed lately. We don't know if it's a genuine change or just politics. Politicians usually promise a lot and do a lot to get some support and votes from the people. In my country, I saw the political leaders work with the farmers in the field and work with the labourers, and these were just for photoshoot purposes and nothing else. I don't know if Trump genuinely turned into a Bitcoin user or if he is trying to get some support from the Bitcoin community members. Time will tell everything.

That's probably just a way to get more votes in a tight election.

Anyway  it is very interesting to see him thinking about bitcoin and using it.

I don't think bitcoin needs some politicians to support it (it will grow anyway), but it is positive to see this support.
