Donald Trump deserves the accolades, he is one president that has been very vocal about his stance and acceptance on Bitcoin, he is one president right from his campaign that has been on the front burner cheering People about the need to have a bitcoin, I doubt if I've seen a President with so much vigour and substance when it concerns bitcoin.
Even though the various pro-bitcoin stances seem to be benefiting bitcoin HODLers, Trump seems a bit of a grifter on the topic, to the extent that he understands the difference between bitcoin and shitcoins, but also some of the lack of clarity may result in attacks on folks who are engaging in self-custody of their bitcoin and/or transacting directly without going through 3rd parties.. so aspects of the direction remain unclear, even though surely it feels better to feel like we have less hostility, even though maybe it still might be scary to report our bitcoin, since they might end up getting confiscated by our Uncle.

You are quite right, I feel he has been a glimmer of hope to the bitcoin community to a large extent, as the hostility just as you've said have reduced, of course you will not throw away the baby with the bath water, he has his short comings no doubt, but erecting a statue for him, is not totally a bad idea, especially given the fact that no president of U.S before now has been so enthusiastic about Bitcoin, he is like the most influential person in the world, whatsoever he says, is seen as an authority across the globe.
