It seems then that Trump's pro-Bitcoin turn is in earnest. In general I don't trust politicians, and if it's on the campaign trail even less but Trump would be neither the first nor will he be the last to change his stance on Bitcoin (remember Saylor, for example)
While not impossible, Trump most likely doesn't actually support or care much about bitcoin. He knows it's an easy way to earn the support of a group of voters. Also, if he was actually a bitcoiner, he wouldn't be making his own crypto project (

Does it matter? Every time his mouth opens and it says Bitcoin or Ulbricht, it means something. Every Bitcoin supporter knows that. When I hear Bitcoin in the movies, I get goosebumps. When I hear it on the news, I get goosebumps too. Bitcoin is so questionable in the past that it won't even be recognized even if the news is big about it.
It's rare to hear its name because I know that the government is trying so hard to avoid it from being mentioned and here is Trump telling all the future that he wants with Bitcoin. Should we believe it? It doesn't matter as long as it's helping Bitcoin get some free ads and higher value because of what he said.
