Here's the thing, Trump's speech wasn't really about Bitcoin.

It was a political speech that included Bitcoin a few times, but it was meant to convince

you to vote for him and donate money to his campaign.

Now that's fine, and to be expected, he is a politician running for office, so it's

natural.

But do not confuse campaign promises with actions once in office.

One of the biggest things Bitcoin has taught me is that proof of work matters, and empty

promises do not.
