In an exclusive interview with David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc, he revealed a remarkable shift in former US President Donald Trump’s interest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, considering them an essential part of his future economic vision. Bailey, who shares Trump’s vision of Bitcoin, confirmed that the former president began to embrace the idea of Bitcoin as “unrestricted money” after his personal experience with banks being politicized against his election campaign. Bailey said: “Trump has a unique appreciation for Bitcoin, because he recognizes its ability to challenge the traditional financial system, which he personally suffered from.” He added that Trump sees Bitcoin as “the Dow Jones of the next generation,” noting that this cryptocurrency has great appeal to younger generations. Bailey also confirmed that Trump is focused on exploiting the “energy abundance” in the United States, as he believes that Bitcoin can be a strategic tool to stimulate national energy production. During a roundtable session with senior Bitcoin miners at Mar-a-Lago, Trump discussed the potential of Bitcoin mining and its role in boosting the US economy, with a vision of achieving a “decade in energy production.” In another context, Bailey revealed that Trump has begun linking Bitcoin to the US dollar, and Trump’s vision is that Bitcoin could become a “modern Fort Knox” for digital gold, which would enhance the dollar’s position on the global stage.
