Amid Biden/Gensler 'Jihad On Digital Assets', Trump Says 'If You Like Crypto, You Better Vote For Me'
In an abrupt reverse from his erstwhile views, erstwhile president Trump apps to have recognized that 'crypto' will be 1 of the key factors for any voters in the coming election and has embraced the protection of individual sovereignty that the digitalcurrency offers (at a time of dwindling trust in the 'establishment' and the increasing sound around 'CBDC'-driven full control).
In 2019, president Trump was not a large fan of crypto, writing at the time on Twitter:
I am not a fan of Bitcoin and another Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and which value is highly volatile and based on thought air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and another illegal activity....

Going on to say:
"We have only 1 real currency in the USA, and it is strongr than ever, both dependent and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!”
Four years later, Florida politician Ron DeSantis brought the top back to top of head for Republicans by vowing to ban CBDCs in his state.

This promoted us to point out – alternatively prophetically:
‘Crypto becoming a top 2024 selection issue as expected. On 1 hand you have Pocahontas and her “Anti-Crypto army”, and now you have DeSantis going all-in crypto, anti-CBDC and anti-Warren. ‘
And yesterday, we saw that forecast realized as erstwhile president Trump Told a group during an event at Mar-a-Lago that:
“If you like crypto in any form...and it comes in many forms...if you’re in favour of crypto, you better vote for Trump.”

Trump’s stance is in direct opposition to the ‘jihad against digital assets’ under way by Gary Gensler (as Rep John Flood put it) and the remainder of Biden’s cronies who, we assume, feat the fact that these claims are beyond their control, and item the success of decentralization (literally the opposition of all centralizing policy measurement over the last three-plus years).
While crypto may not be up there with 'abortion' or 'the border crisis', for many, it’s a game-changer, and there is simply a very clear divide between the anti-crypto-army of Warren et al, and Republicans’ appeared more broad embargo of the freedom-loving currency.
