 **Donald Trump is a politician who will promise anything to get more votes** 

So, before he speaks at Bitcoin 24', I think it's important to remember:

- He could have pardoned or commuted the sentence of Ross Ulbricht while he was the sitting President, but he didn't.

- He just made millions off of his own shitcoin.

- His stated views on Bitcoin before election season:

>I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug >trade and other illegal activity....

>Bitcoin, it just seems like a scam," Mr Trump said. "I don't like it because it's another currency competing against the dollar."
>
He added that he wanted the dollar to be "the currency of the world".

And, to those who think this is not he's changed and been orange pilled since all of his comments before campaign season, I encourage you to wake up and smell the psyop.
