Donald Trump Vows to Build a Bitcoin Army to Win 2024 Election

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told a bitcoin conference on Saturday that the U.S. must dominate the sector or China would, his latest move to court the growing cryptocurrency community. This marks a significant shift for the former president, who once viewed cryptocurrencies with skepticism. Indeed, the digital Donald Trump branded himself as the pro-crypto candidate for president on the campaign trail, promising to launch a strategic national crypto initiative.

Trump and his campaign have vowed to build a Bitcoin army to defeat Biden in the 2024 presidential election, according to a recent press release. This "Bitcoin army" would presumably consist of crypto enthusiasts and investors who align with Trump\'s newly adopted pro-crypto stance.

Former President Donald Trump pledges to make the US a Bitcoin superpower if re-elected. He promises to create a Bitcoin advisory council, and oppose central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This promise is aimed at attracting support from the libertarian-leaning crypto community, which is wary of government control over digital currencies.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Saturday said he would “immediately” appoint a bitcoin and crypto presidential advisory council upon taking office, if he wins the 2024 election. This council would advise him on matters related to cryptocurrency regulation, innovation, and national security.

Donald Trump used to rail against cryptocurrencies, calling them a “disaster waiting to happen” and saying that bitcoin seemed “like a scam.” Now, he’s vowing to champion Bitcoin and make the United States a leader in the digital currency space, signaling a complete reversal of his previous position.
