A pro-Bitcoin candidate
Last May, the person made a name for himself in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, by becoming the first candidate for the Presidential Election of the United States to officially accept donations in BTC.
This announcement was made as part of the Bitcoin 2023 conference in Miami, during which he had however also indicated that he had not invested in the digital asset.
Moreover, in the spring he had positioned against the policy of US regulators with respect to cryptocurrencies:
“Cryptocurrencies, led by Bitcoin, and other crypto technologies are a major driver of innovation. It is a mistake for the US government to stifle industry and stimulate innovation elsewhere. »
Of course, we must also take a step back and not forget that all these declarations are also there to recover part of the electorate. Regarding the candidate’s assets, the BTC represents only a small part of his heritage, made up of many lines, some of which also exceed hundreds or even millions of dollars.
As voting takes place on November 5, 2024, it will be interesting to follow the different positions that will take place on cryptocurrencies by then.

I timidly discovered the world of blockchain at the end of 2018 during my quest for financial freedom. Initially invested moderately, it was only two years later that I took the gamble of betting everything on the movement that was taking shape then. I then dedicate 2021 to training myself better to acquire more knowledge and seriousness. As I often like to say: I still have a billion things to learn. And what I do know, I want to share with you.
