儘管川普現在被視為加密貨幣的救世主,但他並不總是熱衷於加密貨幣。在擔任總統期間,川普一直對加密貨幣持批評態度。
Crypto lobbyists are pulling out all the stops to influence the 2024 presidential election, donating heavily to candidates and wooing them at events like the GOP Convention.

Their goal? To fight back against Gary Gensler's SEC and secure a crypto-friendly administration.
他們的目標是什麼?反擊加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 的 SEC,並確保建立一個對加密貨幣友好的政府。

Crypto firms are pushing for less regulatory oversight of their industry, and if Trump wins in November, it’s a sure bet that Gary Gensler will be sent packing in January 2025. The leading lights of the crypto ecosystem would like nothing better.
加密貨幣公司正在推動減少對其行業的監管,如果川普在11 月獲勝,加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler) 肯定會在2025 年1 月被解僱。比這更好的了。
Although now seen somewhat as its savior, Trump was not always gung-ho on crypto.
儘管川普現在被視為加密貨幣的救世主,但他並不總是熱衷於加密貨幣。

直到 2021 年,川普才將比特幣標記為騙局和「即將發生的災難」。

Kushner emailed Steve Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary, arguing that a digital dollar “could change the way we pay out entitlements as well saving us a ton in waste fraud and also in transaction costs.” Sounds like a crypto-evangelist to me.

川普可能真的改變了對加密貨幣的態度。也許他是一個真正的信徒,但他對這個主題所說的一切都表明他對它的運作方式沒有任何興趣或理解。

更有可能的是,他對加密產業的擁抱純粹是出於交易目的。加密貨幣公司已經準備好為他們的首選政策投入大量資金,眾所周知,沒有更好的方法來引起川普的注意。

Indeed, Vance had organized the fundraising dinner and spent the
