It’s surprising that he used to be a pro-crypto. Sad he lost a sane brain cell.

"Don't use Bitcoins! They are EVIL! Give them to me, I'll take care of them!"

He realized that if you have a large number of people on remote control, you can do pretty well with Ponzi schemes.

A criminal saying that a laughable scam that is mostly used for criminal activity is good? Who would have thought? Oh right, everyone.

He was anti-Bitcoin until recently though. Now suddenly he's all-in on it. Obviously something major has changed. One person speculated that this is to appeal to libertarians. I'm suggesting that along with that, the Saudis, who are in tight with Trump, just announced that they are abandoning the petrodollar and are considering trading in Bitcoin.

Way too overthinking it for Trump. Some criminal puppeteer just paid him a lot of funds in bitcoin.

I'm not suggesting Trump came up with the idea himself.

Oh. Donald must have bought some Bitcoins so it is time to pump for a dump.
