MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor falls for a post about Donald Trump’s position on taxing crypto, Kraken declares “new day.” Hodler’s Digest
With the United States Election Day coming up and many voters already going to the polls, social media is rife with misinformation about candidates policies. MicroStrategy executive chair Michael Saylor seems to have fallen for a social media post containing misinformation about Donald Trumps position on taxing crypto.
In an Oct. 30 post on X to his more than 3.6 million followers, Saylor attributed a quote to Trump in which he said crypto shouldnt be taxed and that Bitcoin is money.
An investigation by Cointelegraph suggested that the fake quote originated from the X account Basedkarbon, which claimed in an Oct. 28 post that the Republican candidate made the remarks in a recent interview.
