History is Made! Donald Trump Uses Bitcoin in First Transaction in New York

In July, Trump promised to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet” and “Bitcoin superpower of the world” if he is re-elected president.

Trump also said that if Bitcoin were to go “to the moon,” a term often used in the crypto community to describe its extraordinary price rise, he would want America to lead this revolution.

At the Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville, Trump expressed his commitment to supporting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. He also criticized the policies of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, which he called a “war on crypto.”

Additionally, Trump promised to fire Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler, who is currently leading a regulatory crackdown on digital currencies. For Trump, regulations that are too strict will only hinder the growth of a dynamic and innovative crypto industry.

Trump Campaign and Acceptance of Donations in Crypto

Trump’s commitment to cryptocurrencies is also visible in his campaign moves. In May, the Trump campaign began accepting donations in crypto.
