Donald Trump, appealing to bitcoin fans, vows United States will be ‘crypto capital of the planet’

Former President Donald Trump vowed Saturday that he would turn the United States into a “bitcoin superpower” if returned to the White House, wielding much of the same rhetoric of persecution that he has applied to himself and his supporters to appeal to cryptocurrency enthusiasts who want to see less regulation.

“Sadly, we see the attacks on crypto,” Trump told a gathering of cryptocurrency fans in Nashville, Tennessee. “It’s a part of a much larger pattern that’s being carried out by the same left-wing fascists to weaponize government against any threat to their power. They’ve done it to me.”
