At first glance, it may look like the entire US cryptocurrency community will be lining up to vote for Donald Trump in November’s presidential election.
“You can’t be a real Bitcoiner and cast a vote for Trump,” said Kyle Olney, a California-based Bitcoiner at the event. “His values and political philosophies are the diametric opposite of what the values and political philosophies of the Bitcoin community actually are.”
Yet for some long-time Bitcoin enthusiasts, Trump’s sudden embrace of the digital asset is seen not just as blowing smoke to pander to donors, it’s simply irrelevant.
The loudest cheers during Trump’s speech came after his promise to fire Gensler, whose term isn’t up until 2026.
Meanwhile, Trump literally can’t fire him. I just hope anyone truly on the fence isn’t going to be swayed by Trumps pandering to the crypto crowd.
