I think I got um all. We will see....

  1. Build many power plants to support bitcoin mining, AI, and EV chargers
  2. End the war on Crypto led by Senator Warren
  3. On day one fire Gary Gensler
  4. End operation chokepoint 2.0
  5. Keep bitcoin jobs in America
  6. Appoint bitcoin and crypto advisory counsel staffed by people that love the industry
  7. Order treasury and other departments to end CBDC plans. No CBDC while he is president
  8. Defend the right to self custody.
  9. Protect freedom, property rights, and privacy
  10. Create framework for stable coins to continue to establish the dominance of the US dollar
  11. Keep 100% of bitcoin the government currently holds. No more selling by government agencies.
  12. Commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht to time served.

You can take these promises for what they are worth. It isn't much but I will say this. I've been paying attention to politics for about 30 years. Trump probably kept more promises (key ones) than any other guy I can recall.

Clearly he's pandering. I know he's been consulted by Vivek Ramaswamy and many others about bitcoin and crypto. His words are not the thing to care about here. Nor is the man important. What is important is that he feels the need to make these promises. Bitcoiners can no longer be ignored by these criminals. They feel the need to take a stance.

Just like you shouldn't get your religion from the state. You shouldn't put your faith in people that can make bold promises with little consequence for breaking it. Bitcoin is designed to make these guys less important. This is one step down that road.

Clearly Trump doesn't understand bitcoin.

"Bitcoin is not threatening the dollar. The behavior of the government is threatening bitcoin."

But that's OK. This is just a part of the journey we are all on. Just don't fall for this trick. Vote or don't vote. I don't care. But realize that bitcoin fixes this. Trump doesn't fix bitcoin. I welcome most of these promises he has made. I hope he keeps them.

Fingers crossed the current regime sells it all, just to preemptively spite Trump.

I can already picture Robert Kiyosaki trying to capitalise on this by crying Doomsday and selling his $1 crypto guide via his Facebook

reply

Haha that would be a big FU.

reply

Did I miss something? Who was the special guest?

reply

Satoshi Nakamoto

reply

Wondering the same thing

reply

There was a special guest other than Trump at the conference?

reply

Rumors are that it was supposed to be Elon

reply

Did he punk them because Bailey shared his plane location on twitter?

reply

No clue. I doubt that though or else they would not have announced a guest.

Suspect it was something else. All speculation though.

reply

Trump should have said: bitcoin will be exempt from capital gains tax

Capital gains tax should be abolished for all assets

reply

Come to Singapore. No capital gains tax here

🤔🤔🤔

🤣🤣

reply

LOL you still follow promises from a politician?
Totally useless.

reply

I agree. But I don't follow pro wrestling any more so I gotta do something.

Sounds like you didn't read what I wrote though Darth.

Honestly, I follow it like the weather. Do I need to wear a hat? Do I need to bring an umbrella?

reply

I read it all. And I was surprised that came from you...
And yes politics is like weather: you don't give a shit anyways if it rains or is sunny.

reply

Sorry to disappoint you. I suspect it won't be the last time.

reply

It is interesting to hear what he promises, though.

reply

I dont know if he will have the power to do any of these things, even if he becomes president.

reply

He can free Ross.

reply

Yeah, he will have the power once he is president.
But will he actually do it?

reply

I don't trust him but I hope he does.

reply

Politicians are very slippery.

reply

Thanks for this summary

reply
"Bitcoin is not threatening the dollar. The behavior of the government is threatening bitcoin."

At least he is speaking Bitcoin twice in a sentence. It's enough for a doom to Fiat world.

reply

I totally agree. Bitcoin doesn't need politicians to survive. They need bitcoin, instead. Bitcoin is not a U.S. thing, it is the world's "thing."

reply

I can't understand the disappointment of some people here about the Trump speech. I see it from an individual point of view: the fact that top politicians from the world's most important economy are talking about Bitcoin on an ongoing basis should set off alarm bells. You have to make sure that you have enough of it yourself if you want to prosper economically, that the states would enter this market and this technology, that was clear for a long time.

reply

Let’s see what the history book will write about this….

reply

"....No CBDC while he is president..." that sounds like a threat...lol So, when he is not, then is OK? NO, it's never OK, make sure that never happens.
He should cemented in law that money belongs to people (private property) and not to the government.

reply

Weird take. It's a common saying, like if you oppose something you say, "as long as I'm in charge it won't happen." That doesn't mean you support the thing happening when you're not in charge

reply

He can't do anything when he's not president.

reply

We already have CBDC…it’s the current system

reply

RFK has skin-in-the-game, he is therefore more likely to keep his promises, although I deplored the fact that he only seemed to be concerned about NgU (please correct me if I'm wrong here).

Personally, I'd rather see the US leading the rest of the world on Bitcoin than any other country, I am therefore leaning more towards Trump, even though he clearly does not (yet) understand Bitcoin as RFK, and he doesn't have to, but you can tell he's been very well advised on the subject, and his pro-business stance had more depth than RFK's. Besides, NgU with or without RFK...

We live in interesting times, politicians cannot afford to ignore us any more.

reply

Trump = honeypot , Nashville Btc Conference = Scam , we don't need nothing

reply

Where did he say that euronews (the news lies)?

reply

He literally said something along the lines of "it makes sense to be nice to you guys at least until the election". This goes to show that he's just rallying, albeit rallying in front of shitcoin magazin's audience

reply

To be honest, I don't trust what politicians say.

reply

I was very sceptical of the speech because he is just a politican.

The speech had so much potential that was not used at all just by mentioning "crypto" everytime he had said "bitcoin". Second, he talked about inflation infront of the audiance that understands the topic the most. What the fuck was he talking about when mentioning bitcoin price go up during his presidency ? He took the price go up 3000% as his doing, like what ?

reply

Bitcoin fixes everyone, including Trump.

reply

One year later...

How many has he delivered on?
How many are left?

reply

Yea his speech annoyed me in the fact he treated it like a "rally". He was thanking people and dropping names. He should of been on point about crypto and what he was going to do.
I myself think him bringing it up at this point and time even if he doesn't plan on doing any of it. Is it might get a few more people who are not bitcoiners to start looking at it!

reply

trump is a threat for bitcoin

"Nothing is impossible because the word itself I m possible."

I agree with you. It isn’t so much the contents of these promises as the fact that the Bitcoiner tribe has grown influential enough for their presence to be acknowledged

reply

I think bitcoin is useful for goverment too there are many reason for this. You want to know a reason than comment me

reply

Thanks for the information

Trump's wagging his tail high against democrats! Politics is only for those who can do a flip-flop

reply
