Marine is Trump. Donald Trump's electoral incursion into the crypto sphere continues to create vocations. Because many political figures are now picking up the subject. And it is recently Marine Le Pen who has just engaged in the exercise. On the agenda: cryptocurrency mining and nuclear reactor.
The key points of this article:
Marine Le Pen surprised by mentioning cryptocurrency mining during a speech on energy issues in Flamanville.
Could the topic of Bitcoin become a political tool?
Since Donald Trump's pro-crypto campaign, Bitcoin has become an obvious electoral topic. This is even as the Bitcoin paradise of the 47th president of the United States currently resembles more of a nightmare for crypto investors.
A situation that gives rise to interesting initiatives, such as the creation of a National Bitcoin Institute (INBi) in French territory. With the objective of promoting the strategic advantages of this cryptocurrency at an energy and monetary level.
The announcement of this initiative – associated with François Hollande – immediately met with great success in the French-speaking crypto community. Is this the reason why Marine Le Pen has just taken a position on the subject?
Indeed, the National Rally Deputy has just spoken at a press conference during a visit to the Flamanville EPR. And during this speech on energy issues, she mentioned cryptocurrency mining. A subject she does not particularly favor, according to her previous statements on the topic...
The topic addressed by Marine Le Pen is, however, legitimate. Because it is a question of taking advantage of the excess energy production of this nuclear reactor, which is currently only operating at 70% of its power. This is to allow it to operate at maximum efficiency.
And among the dozens of possible solutions, Marine Le Pen specifically mentions two: hydrogen production and cryptocurrency mining!
Of course, this announcement has triggered many reactions on social media. With the legitimate question of a possible political recovery of the crypto subject. Even if it is obvious that Bitcoin remains a top choice in the context of valuing excess energy.
It seems that the topic of Bitcoin is starting to assert itself on the international political stage. Even Europe's silence regarding Donald Trump's strategic reserve proves to be instructive. The question being whether the mention of cryptocurrencies reveals a genuine willingness for adoption or a mere electoral communication operation.
