💬 Former US President Donald Trump expressed support for the crypto industry and promised to release Ross Ulbricht if re-elected in the upcoming elections.

“I am very positive and open to crypto companies and everything related to this new and growing industry. Our country must be a leader in this area. No second place. Dishonorable Joe Biden, on the other hand, the worst president in the history of our country, wants [the crypto industry] to die a slow and painful death. This will never happen with me!” he wrote.

During a speech at the National Convention of the Libertarian Party, the politician said that the future of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin “will be created in the United States.” He also pledged to support self-custody rights for the nation's 50 million digital currency holders.

“I will keep [Senator] Elizabeth Warren away from Bitcoin, I will never allow CBDC, and I will also stop Joe Biden’s crusade to crush the crypto industry,” Trump said from the podium.
