Trump promised only 3 things. Free Ross Ulbricht on day 1 of his presidency, protect the right of self custody and reject the creation of CBDC. However, these things do not signal a real friendly administration to the cryptospace. I am also very skeptical if he will free Ross Ulbricht on day 1 heheheheheh. The list in my reply is what I reckon would certainly signal a real friendly administration towards the cryptospace. If they do not do this, I would be quite certain that they are not procrypto.

Trump's rejection of CBDCs aligns well with the crypto community's interests. No one wants to use something that can be easily tracked and traced by the government. This should be more than enough to help Trump win the support of crypto voters. Freeing Ross Ulbricht and establishing a friendly regulatory environment for Bitcoin is a huge plus. We all know how things went down for the crypto industry after Biden took office. Several crypto exchanges left the US (eg: Bittrex), while some services stopped dealing with US customers.

The only good thing the current administration has ever done for crypto is the approval of spot ETFs. But that's because the SEC had no other choice (especially with Grayscale's victory in court and rising interest/demand from giants like BlackRock and Fidelity). Crypto voters will choose a presidential candidate who aligns with their interests. And Biden is not the one. We'll see what happens after Election Day.

It was actually during Trump's failed presidency when US citizens could no longer access any exchange they wanted. 2017 to 2019 was when we started getting barred from most exchanges. And we might actually see crypto friendly regulations pass before the election under Biden. House already passed the bill with bipartisan support. If Biden gets that passed that pretty much cuts off anything Trump claims he was gonna do.

And god I hope people are not dumb enough to vote for a president based on crypto related promises lol. A lot more important interests out there. People should want a president who protects the country, upholds American values, isn't a convicted criminal, isn't corrupt, etc. And Trump is definitely not the one. I really wish Biden wasn't running again, Democrats could have such better options, but god he better win for the sake of this nation. I'd much rather have four years of possibly slower political progress on Bitcoin, but a functioning nation, than maaaaaybe have a little bit more political progress on Bitcoin but a fully corrupt govt and a nation on fire spiraling downwards again.
