Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, the incoming administrations Attorney General pick, has long adopted a critical stance against encryption. He has stood in direct opposition to end-to-end encryption, citing his experience in law enforcement when calling for government officials to have complete access to encrypted devices.

Earlier this year, Apple remained in a standoff with the FBI over allowing law enforcement agencies access to a locked device owned by a mass shooter in California, a move highly criticized by Sessions. Trump himself also opposed Apples stand while on the campaign trail, insisting that the company be boycotted.

Do you guys think this will affect the legality of Bitcoin under the Trump administration?

I think that encryption is a usefull tool and should be promoted by the state. Putting anti encryption people into the cabinet is very anti-freedom. Trump should really think twice about infringing on basic rights such as freedom.

Any state that violence and persecution of dissidents. Trump is an authoritarian ruler and, therefore, does not tolerate freedom. I'm sure all his cadence, he will trample the freedoms of citizens under any pretext
