Trump Celebrates Bitcoin’s Anniversary, Slams 'Kamala’s War on Crypto'

Former President Donald Trump recently took to X (previously Twitter) to share his thoughts on bitcoin and mark the anniversary of the Bitcoin white paper. “I would like to wish our great Bitcoiners a Happy 16th Anniversary of Satoshi’s White Paper,” Trump said on the social media site. “We will end Kamala’s war on crypto, & Bitcoin will be MADE IN THE USA! VOTE TRUMP,” the former president added. Trump has gone from doubting bitcoin to becoming a full-fledged supporter of it and the broader crypto world, casting himself as the pro-crypto candidate for the 2024 election. Speaking at a recent crypto conference, he voiced his ambition to turn the U.S. into the “crypto capital of the planet,” pledging to loosen regulations and create a national BTC reserve. In line with this shift, his campaign now accepts BTC donations, showing his fresh connection with the crypto community. In his Thursday post, Trump included the hashtag #FreeRossDayOne—a nod to his pledge to commute the sentence of the Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht.
