#TrumpBitcoinEmpire Trump's current policy regarding Bitcoin represents a drastic change in the narrative about cryptocurrencies in U.S. politics. During his previous term, the president was mostly critical of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.
However, Trump now presents himself and his administration as supporters of Bitcoin and decentralized technology, and consciously allows for cryptocurrency mining in the U.S., as he declared that all remaining Bitcoin should actually be mined solely in the U.S. This idea can be seen as an attempt to make the United States the leading mining country and a global center of financial sovereignty, something that is neither impossible but strategically relevant. From an economic standpoint, this policy may strengthen the crypto industry with additional legitimization, but it will also carry its own threats.
Cryptocurrencies and their prices remain volatile, and the political environment is still one of the most divided. In fact, overall, the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has significantly decreased recently due to the previously discussed risks in the previous chapter.
