Just now, Trump rarely mentioned Bitcoin at a White House press conference, and he wasn't opposing it, but rather— praising it.
He said it very directly:
'I have noticed that more and more people are using Bitcoin for payments; people say this alleviates a lot of pressure on the dollar, which is a good thing for our country.'
A current presidential-level figure, speaking from the power center of the world's largest economy, has articulated something that people in the crypto circle have tried to explain to the mainstream for years: Bitcoin's existence is a supplement, even a buffer, to the dollar system.
Not just a change in attitude, but a strategic signal.
Old players in the crypto circle should know that Trump has strongly criticized cryptocurrencies a few years ago. And now, he not only 'switched sides' but also stated that Bitcoin is bringing positive economic effects. This change is not simple.
Behind this actually points to a core issue—the Triffin dilemma.
In simple terms: As the issuer of the global reserve currency, the U.S. must continuously export dollars (usually through trade deficits) to meet global settlement needs. But this means a long-term dilution of the value of its currency.
That is to say:
The cost of the dollar's 'global circulation' is the uncontrollable inflation in the United States.
This is not a conspiracy theory, but a structural contradiction. U.S. money printing is a global necessity, but it also means there is no turning back. As macroeconomist Lyn Alden puts it:
'Nothing can stop this train.'
Perhaps, Trump is trying to use Bitcoin to create a 'deceleration track.'
Bitcoin: is it a safe-haven tool, or a 'safety valve' for the dollar?
At the same time as this speech, several important backgrounds are worth noting:
DXY (Dollar Index) has fallen to a three-year low.
The total U.S. debt has exceeded $37 trillion.
High government bond yields, global confidence shaken.
And what about Bitcoin? Despite multiple risks in geopolitics, finance, and inflation, it remains strong.
It not only did not 'collapse', but rather repeatedly proved at critical junctures— it is that 'uninterfered anchor.'
To summarize my point:
Trump's statement releases the signal that Bitcoin is being included in the national financial security discussion.
Bitcoin is not anti-dollar, but rather a 'balancing device' within the dollar monetary system.
In the future, crypto assets will play an increasingly core role in global finance, especially in the dimension of decentralized sovereign assets.
