Trump owns a majority stake in a company that recently bought $2 billion+ in bitcoin. I donโ€™t know if that makes him a bitcoiner, but there arenโ€™t many individuals who effectively own more bitcoin.
Dude is THE definition of rugged. But it was still better to have on #bitcoin โ€˜s side than the alternative. Plus, #freeross was the most major incentive after the #bitcoin -friendly platform.

I really canโ€™t explain it-maybe he thought he would need congressional support for an SBR and didnโ€™t have it, or for many other reasons. I agree Trump doesnโ€™t care about what most bitcoiners care about, nor does he really understand it, but I would rather have someone as President with a large part of their NW in bitcoin like Trump, who would much rather have bitcoin do well (i.e. his interests are aligned).

Elon and Rogan get it too. Theyr all stacking.
You're lost in the noise. And whether or not you know it, are hanging on everything he says. Actually giving credence to a proof of stake seal of Presidency. Which is on clear display. If you can't see that what you're watching is a psyop yet (after 9 years of it).... at least you hodl Bitcoin The ending won't be for everybody, but as long as you're holding Bitcoin, you're going to like the outcome.

Imagine being dumb enough to believe anything he pretends.
Only thing I know about Trump is that he's a pedophile who supports Israel. Nothing else about him matters anyway. Like shit, he may like Bitcoin or he may hate it I don't care, he is a zionist pedophile and deserves to be put to death. Anyone who cares whether or not he supports Bitcoin is probably just a pedophile like him anyway.

The effect on the bitcoin network is the same whether someone HODLs bitcoin and is a bitcoiner (which people have different definitions of) and someone who HODLs bitcoin and is not a bitcoiner.
Someone who sees Bitcoin as freedom money and as the end goal, aligned with the ethos of a permissionless, p2p universal money that frees you from the fiat control system. Not someone who buys and hodls Bitcoin in order to have more fiat.

Thank you. Your definition is similar to my definition. But if someone HODLs bitcoin (doesnโ€™t sell) and doesnโ€™t have that mindset/definition (like perhaps Trump and most who own bitcoin), they also help the network, and they probably consider themselves bitcoiners.

If only those people who thought like you and lived 100% on a bitcoin standard owned bitcoin, the network would be a fraction of the size it is today and much more vulnerable to an attack.
