Since the election of Trump to the new US President yesterday, many questions about Bitcoin arise.

Will he promote Bitcoin and make it a breakthrough? Will he even officially ban Bitcoin? Will he make such a bad economic (and monetary) policy that Bitcoin will be seen as an alternative for many?

What do you think, what will a President Trump mean for Bitcoin?

I would love to see how you can ban bitcoin. What do you even entertainment such a thought for anyway ?
What had a president have to do with the bitcoin world especially Trump ? I say stay out of politics and stick with bitcoin.

I think Trump would not make a decision like that, because even if the president banned Bitcoin, that would not stop people from using the currency. The reason Bitcoin's design eliminates points of centralization is to prevent such things from happening. In addition to the ban not impeding its use, Trump would be contributing to the spread of knowledge about the existence and functioning of the currency.
