Former President Donald Trump says one of Bitcoin\u2019s biggest critics is warming up to the crypto industry.<\/p>\n
In a newly-released interview transcript from Bloomberg, Trump says<\/a> JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon\u2019s notoriously negative views on crypto are evolving.<\/p>\n \u201cYou ask Jamie Dimon, Jamie Dimon was, you know, very negative and now all of a sudden he\u2019s changed his tune a little bit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Trump gave the answer while addressing his own views on crypto, which have changed dramatically in recent months.<\/p>\n The former President, who once called Bitcoin a scam based on thin air, now says he\u2019ll protect the industry\u2019s presence in the US and support people\u2019s rights to self-custody digital assets.<\/p>\n In his new interview, Trump says his views on crypto have changed over time. If the US doesn\u2019t move the industry forward, Trump says other countries will.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we don\u2019t do [crypto], China is going to pick it up and China\u2019s going to have it. Or somebody else, but most likely China. China\u2019s very much into it. Also, it\u2019s not going away. It\u2019s amazing. I\u2019ve gotten to know a lot of people, like even the meeting in San Francisco [Trump\u2019s June 6 fundraiser]. I went to San Francisco, I met many people that\u2014these are people that this is really becoming an industry [for].<\/em><\/p>\n Now, if I throw it aside, it\u2019s going to be picked up in another country, most likely China\u2014they\u2019re pretty advanced in that sphere. So you have to look at it\u2014what I want, again, is what is good for the country. If we don\u2019t do it\u2026 The other thing is, I did things like NFTs and, you know, stuff. And I noticed that 80% of the money was paid in crypto. It was incredible. So, NFTs are, you know, I did the\u2014very successful. We had one year to sell it out and it sold out in one day. The whole thing sold out: 45,000 of the cards. And I did it three times [and] I\u2019m going to do another one, because the people want me to do another one. It\u2019s unbelievable spirit. Beautiful. <\/em><\/p>\n But the thing I really noticed was everything was paid in\u2014I would say almost all of it was paid in crypto, in this new currency. And it opened my eyes. So we have a good foundation. It\u2019s a baby. It\u2019s an infant right now. But I don\u2019t want to be responsible for allowing another country to take over this sphere. And so I think we\u2019re going to be good. Also, I\u2019ve gotten to know people in the industry, they\u2019re top-flight people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In the interview, Trump said he\u2019d consider Dimon as his US Treasury Secretary.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s new running mate, JD Vance, is also pro-crypto.<\/p>\n In 2022, disclosures showed the 39 year-old Ohio Senator bought between $100,000 and $250,000 worth of BTC.<\/p>\n Don’t Miss a Beat \u2013 Subscribe<\/a> to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox <\/span><\/em>  <\/p>\n Generated Image: Midjourney<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former President Donald Trump says one of Bitcoin\u2019s biggest critics is warming up to the crypto industry.
