Has Trump mentioned BTC at all?

My guess:

Trump is Pro America. Trump is thus pro Dollar and wants companies like Apple to bring all their billions off shore back in the tax system. Trump is anti deep state and anti status quo. Bitcoin is and shall remain away from any gov and states in the world. I love Trump but It would be strange if he would embrace Bitcoin.

On the other hand Trump would and should love the Blockchain and applied the protocol to the US bureaucracy. The deep state HATES keeping braid crumbs behind. Hard drives get destroyed or disappear. FOIA requests are delayed, or trapped in the even horizon of a paperwork black hole. Applying Blockchain tech to a gov would be a paradigm shift of a biblical level. The citizens would find strange and unethical for a government not to have a blockchain protol in place afterward.

Either way: Trump does not like bitcoin. People who hate Trump would put more trust in BTC and the value goes up. Trump loves Bitcoin and the system would be ready to accept it as an official currency, making the value of bitcoin goes up.

Just the guess of a newbie on bitcointalk.

Hmmm.....

But has Trump mentioned investing in gold? Has he mentioned Apple Pay? Etc. Of course the answer is no.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if we start hearing him or his admin mention blockchain, though.

Exactly. The blockchain tech is not the same as bitcoin (yes it is) from a political position. Anything he could say would influence the market big league! and could be played against his bigger agenda. This is true for any president or chief of state around the world, not to be seen as a direct and open vector of influence. The perception that is. Obviously we know better...
