Musk goes political: forms party to support BTC, rejects fiat

Elon Musk launched the America Party, positioning it as a pro-Bitcoin, anti-fiat alternative to the existing political system.

Trump criticized the move, accusing Musk of fueling political chaos.

Trust politicians at your own risk! One thing I am certain about is that these politicians will keep using Bitcoin to gain the popularity they so crave until it gets to the point where they all lose their credibility and no one gives a fuck anymore about their stance on Bitcoin. However, for now, let them ride the wave and help more with the mass adoption of Bitcoin.

Right now, if a politician publicly supports bitcoin... the community cheers and spreads the news like wildfire because it is still so rare. Not to mention that it also would mean a lot for your country to finally accept bitcoin. We are certainly in that phase where slowly countries are accepting bitcoin. At some point, maybe there will be enough politicians in favor of bitcoin but I do not think the novelty will wear off. It is like any other social issue people take a stand on.

Just like you said, we are still in the early stages and new to the government, finally embracing Bitcoin and the crypto community at large. It is very normal for the crypto community to react the way they are reacting now. Believe me, people still need assurance from top public officials like this before they can adopt Bitcoin too. Whether these politicians like it or not, a time will come when people will truly pay attention to their actions and not their words if they keep lying to the crypto community. People have already started seeing them for who they are.
