Can anyone here explain to me what President Trump, his son, and Tucker Carlson were doing at a Bitcoin conference acting all enthusiastic about Bitcoin and its place in the future economy of our country? Bitcoin is the exact opposite of what I understood Trump to be working toward: a new currency backed by gold, silver, and other hard assets to replace our fiat currency and wrest control of our country from the Federal Reserve banksters and the globalist cabal.
Bitcoin and other crypto currencies can only be "real money" when provably backed by real assets, like gold, silver, oil, real estate, etc. Otherwise it's just a mental magic act: it's valuable because enough people agree that it's valuable…until they don't. Then it's worthless. The BRICS countries are in the process of moving to gold/asset backed currencies and have begun trading with one another on that basis. Other countries will ultimately follow rather than be cut off from global trade.
Was Trump's appearance at the Bitcoin Conference just a head fake? Or has he really changed his mind on Bitcoin and other crypto currencies?
