$BTC Former U.S. President Donald Trump has often expressed skepticism about cryptocurrency, calling Bitcoin and other digital assets “a scam” and warning they could pose a threat to the U.S. dollar. Throughout his political career and in interviews after his presidency, Trump has made it clear that he favors a strong U.S. dollar over decentralized digital currencies. #BinanceTruns8
Trump’s criticism of crypto has raised eyebrows in the tech and finance communities, especially as other political figures have embraced blockchain technology. “I’m not a fan of Bitcoin,” Trump once said in a 2021 interview. “It just seems like a scam... I want the dollar to be the currency of the world.”
Despite his harsh tone, some analysts believe Trump’s opposition may be more strategic than ideological. By distancing himself from crypto, he aligns with more traditional financial institutions and older conservative voters who may view digital currencies as risky or unregulated.
Interestingly, Trump has also been linked to NFTs (non-fungible tokens), releasing digital Trump trading cards that sold out quickly — suggesting that while he may criticize crypto broadly, he’s not entirely against profiting from blockchain-based assets.
As the 2025 election cycle saw increasing discussion around digital currencies, Trump’s views continued to reflect his "America First" stance: protect the dollar, regulate the unknown, and remain cautious about emerging financial technologies.
