Next, I will immediately order the Treasury Department and other federal agencies to cease and desist all steps toward the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency. There will never be a C.B.D.C. while I am president of the United States.
Those who say that Bitcoin is a “threat” to the dollar have the story exactly backward. BITCOIN is not threatening the Dollar—the behavior of the current U.S. government is threatening the Dollar. The danger to our financial future does not come from crypto—it comes from Washington, D.C. It comes from trillions in waste, rampant inflation, and Open Borders while giving welfare and free healthcare to illegal aliens. It comes from printing hundreds of billions of dollars to fund endless wars overseas while our cities are like combat zones here at home.
TRUMP: I want the United States to be first in technology, first in science, first in manufacturing, first in artificial intelligence, and first in space. America’s destiny is to lead our rivals in EVERYTHING—and to surrender our industries to NO ONE.
TRUMP: Today, I am laying out my plan to ensure that the United States will be the Crypto Capital of the planet and the Bitcoin Superpower of the world. If crypto is going to define the future, I want it to be “MINED,” “MINTED,” and MADE IN THE USA. And if Bitcoin is going “to the moon,” I want America to be the nation that leads the way.
TRUMP: I stand before you today, filled with respect and admiration for what the Bitcoin community has achieved. In just 15 years, Bitcoin has gone from merely an idea posted anonymously on an internet message board, to being the 9th most valuable asset on earth. It is already bigger than Exxon Mobil, soon it will be surpassing the entire market cap of Silver—and one day, Bitcoin could very well overtake Gold.
TRUMP: I’m thrilled to be here in Nashville to become the first American President ever to address a Bitcoin event anywhere in the world!
