The whole Trump hype is hilariously naive I think. Which are the real advantages a Trump tenure can bring?
- "Not sell a Bitcoin" policy. Okay, that could perhaps lower the Bitcoin supply by 0,0000001% per day or so.
- "Fire Uncle Gary". That would benefit altcoins most. And Trump can't do that if he doesn't step down voluntarily. And even to propose a new SEC chair he would need Senate approval.
- "Free Ross Ulbricht". That's the only point I'm actually a bit more interested in. It would be mainly symbolic though.
But I wrote also in another thread that a position too friendly with the "crypto industry" -- and this means also the more dubious parts of it -- may bring even disadvantages. In Latin America we had a lot of Ponzi schemes based on altcoins which also made people wary about Bitcoin even if the only aspect they're related is that both use blockchains. So be warned: A high percentage of the society is still sceptic about Bitcoin, and if we want to convince them, scams won't help.
In addition, Bitcoin's future is not in the US. The past and the present maybe are, but the US has also one of the highest rates of market saturation (~20% crypto owners vs. < 5% in the rest of the world, with some exceptions like Argentina and El Salvador) already.
