It seems you need to change the topic title, Bitcoin never colluded with Trump, Bitcoin has always been independent without any party being able to control it. Trump only took advantage of the explosion generated by Bitcoin to reach the peak of his political power.

No, Trump is collection hundreds of millions of dollars in donations from the crypto industry. Americans are going to get an impression of Bitcoin through campaigning and advertising. Thanks to these donors, they will now often associate Bitcoin with Trump, who is extremely divisive--meaning that Trump's followers will love Bitcoin and the rest of the US will hate it.

Trump who has always approached Bitcoin in various ways, has said many times that he will support Bitcoin, but Bitcoin has grown rapidly even without his support. Everyone can judge where Trump is heading right now, Trump's steps are directed at what people are most interested in right now, he chose to approach Bitcoin because he thought Bitcoin could help him win the election, but Bitcoin does not need Trump's support at all to develop further.

Yes, it did grow without Trump being on the payroll, and no Bitcoin doesn't need Trump to thrive. Indeed, the entire point of this thread is that Bitcoin would be much better off if Trump were not around.

And Trump isn't doing what he is doing to support Bitcoin holders in the US, he is doing it to support a few dozen billionaire Bitcoin whales who have given him millions. There are not enough Bitcoin supports in the USA to make even the tiniest bit of difference, in terms of numbers of voters.
