I think that he doesn't have any opinion about Bitcoin and just doesn't care. The question is has he even heard of it. He made his fortune on different way and that is what bothers him.
Don't think that the fact he's been elected will influence Bitcoin in good or bad way.
I agree. probably he said bitcoin to impress people to choose him as a president. but I see he does not really care about bitcoin, and
I am not sure he really knows what bitcoin is. even if he was serious about bitcoin, probably he would promote it to the people, but I am not really sure. imo.
If the president elect of the most advanced economy does not know about bitcoin according to you, is it Robert Mugabe that would? We all can agree that the recent increases in the price of bitcoin was spurred by goings-on from a number of countries, but not necessarily of the governments of anyone of those countries taking any positive step in the direction of bitcoin. Rather it was there calculated moves to take the shine out of the coin one way or the other that turned out to polish and got its value appreciating.
