Users on X pointed out that Trump’s recent change in tune toward Bitcoin could be just an election-related tactic to attract crypto-focused voters.
Former United States President Donald Trump has changed his tune on Bitcoin. From making anti-Bitcoin statements and calling it a scam during his tenure as president, Trump now says BTC is something he can live with and acknowledges its growing demand.
Trump’s recent change of stance toward Bitcoin deviated from his earlier views when he was president. At the time, Trump denounced Bitcoin, called it a scam and reportedly ordered the treasury secretary to “go after Bitcoin.”
