Politicians from different walks of life, such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and former President Trump, have recently shared this view. After initially downplaying the cryptocurrency industry, Trump delivered a keynote speech in support of crypto at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville this summer. In his speech, he likened Bitcoin to the “steel industry 100 years ago” and said, “If cryptocurrency defines the future, I want it to be mined, minted and manufactured in the United States.” Last week, he even bought a crypto-infused burger at Pub Key, a “Bitcoin bar” in New York.
