Donald Trump's Appeal to Bitcoin Miners: A Turning Point In American Politics

In another groundbreaking Bitcoin move, Donald Trump has appealed to Bitcoin miners and enthusiasts in the United States. Once a skeptic, Trump now sees Bitcoin as an integral part of his campaign, appealing to the large and growing community of Bitcoin users and miners as he campaigns for the 2024 presidential election.

On Truth Social, Trump posted: “Bitcoin mining may be our last line of defense against a [Central Bank Digital Currency]. Biden’s hatred of Bitcoin only helps China, Russia, and the Radical Communist Left. We want all the remaining Bitcoin to be MADE IN THE USA!!! It will help us be ENERGY DOMINANT!!!”

In his post, Trump linked a Bitcoin Magazine opinion article on why he would be the best choice for Bitcoin, written by Brian Mortgensen who also served in the Trump Administration as White House deputy press secretary. Clearly, Trump wants to unapologetically position himself as the pro-Bitcoin candidate (whether or not he will follow through with such promises remains to be seen).

Trump’s Strategic Shift

Trump’s campaign has already embraced Bitcoin by accepting Bitcoin Lightning Network payments for campaign donations. But, time will tell if Trump is really a Bitcoin advocate or if he's merely trying to appeal to the Bitcoin voter base which is about one in four Americans who own Bitcoin.

Regardless, Trump’s strategic move to accept Bitcoin donations showcases the Lightning Network’s potential in real-world applications. By integrating this technology, businesses can send and receive instant, cost-effective payments from any app or wallet integrated into the network, now available to over 400 million users across the ecosystem. The Lightning Network’s reach continues to grow, and Neutronpay believes it will eventually be the global payment rail of the future, eclipsing Visa, Mastercard, and SWIFT.
