Trump, in short, will go down in history as the worst president in US history. His own party, who will want to continue to have a chance of holding power, will abandon him and everything he stood for. By tying Bitcoin to Trump, many are building a brand name for Bitcoin that will be both extremely detrimental to its long-term growth, and very hard to get rid of: Bitcoin will be known as a "Trump thing" for a very long time, if not forever. This is a disaster.

You are speaking more out of hate for Donald Trump than your love for Bitcoin.

I don't think I am, but if I was that would make my point for me: my sentiments are no different than about 52% of Americans when it comes to Trump.

Have you also considered some positive things that we can get from Donald Trump always speaking about Bitcoin. More people are going to hear about Bitcoin despite what the outcome of the election is going to be therefore it is a win situation for Bitcoin.

So you are saying "any publicity is good publicity"? So was the FTX fiasco, which millions of Americans to this day only associate with Bitcoin, a good thing for Bitcoin? The market sure didn't think so.

And in terms of a divisive figure, Trump is a thousand times more known than SBF.

In this election cycle, Bitcoin is now playing in the big leagues, as the industry's donations are bigger then Big Oil, Big Pharma, labor unions, and so on.

We're basically talking about a multi-hundred million dollar nationwide ad campaign that is saying, "Bitcoin = Trump". I am hoping that they start giving the Democrats and Harris money so they can say it's all balanced out, but if this stays the way it is then Bitcoin's reputation can be permanently trashed by this.
