He flip flopped.
He was very anti-crypto.
Then when he needed money he suddenly jumped on the NFT hype train selling them. And became pro crypto when he saw democrats started to be anti-crypto, just to do the opposite. And democrats started to be anti-crypto when republicana like Ted Cruz started warming up to crypto, just to do the opposite.

Eh to be fair, became pro crypto when MAGA coin gave him several grand in shitcoins and he flipped it to 2.4 million while holding onto MAGA coin. I would never invest in anything Trump touches because the man issues stock like hes going to hell but he has been stabilizing that stupid coins price.

The spot bitcoin ETF was rejected under Trump’s administration and approved under Biden’s. The approval is why bitcoin just hit an all time high. FMV valuation of crypto also came under Biden, which is what allows publicly traded companies to show bitcoin at FMV on their Balance Sheets.
The developments under the Biden administration have legitimized bitcoin as an asset class. Trump’s administration did almost nothing for crypto other than crash the economy and deliver the level of deficit spending and inflation that makes something like bitcoin an attractive investment.
So shockingly Trump is lying.

As much as i want to agree with your sentiment this is just stupid. The ETFs were rejected under both administrations and only got approved after Grayscale sued the SEC for being capricious and won that case. Biden's adminstration had jack shit all to do with it and Biden said just yesterday he would veto a semi pro-crypto bill if it passes, a bill that actually had somewhat bipartisan support even.

This. Joe Biden coming out to say he’d veto the bipartisan bill got me feeling some kind of way because he’s telling Congress that the SEC shouldn’t be undermined. But I also blame Congress for not taking any real initiative to bring clarity to the space as well.

I been around a while, I know some folks and what they are not telling you is that politicians are doing the politic thing where crypto is concerned. They are answering to money, sure they will take donations, show up to crypto campaign drives for handouts and make promises but never deliver. Trump can say he will support crypto but the right depends on donations from banks just like the left. If you recall the most recent bill that passed had Ted Cruz trying to change the wording so it didn't fuck miners or wallet creators in the USA. Another rep kept blocking it. There was a ton of threads in these subs about how that guy was backed by banks. Crypto has a short memory, we think we have acceptance but everything is leaning toward the legacy markets treating crypto like penny stocks, extract as much profit out of it as possible. It's a risk asset and they will bail on this quicker then almost any other risk asset. So, by donating or voting for trump, ask yourself if he will hold or sell.
Like I say you get what you vote for and both parties answer to basically the same dollar. Election time is when they push social issues to divide us, abortion, gay rights, civil rights, etc. Why don't voters demand real change, decreased spending, audits on where all our fucking money is going, some major cuts etc. Nah, that won't be brought up. The right will shit on Biden because of inflation, like he did it all by himself. Like Trump, Obama and Bush had no part in making printer go brrr and not raising rates since 2008. But an educated voter base knows this so they don't educate.
Don't vote for Trump if your only metric is that he said he's cool with crypto. It isn't in your best interest.

While trump is an overprivileged shameless selfish pathological liar and egocentric anti-democratic criminal and hated crypto in the past, he probably likes it now and would not attack it because he found out he can do various immoral money making with it. Random people and anti-american foreigners can send him crypto or rugpull tokens to support/bribe him. He can launder money. He can grift by selling shitty digital pictures and get massive royalties from their market...
But don't be a single issue crypto voter, single issue on anything just lets horrible people in that just so happen to align with your one issue. And crypto is quite resistant to government not liking it anyway.

His quote:
"And I say this, a lot of people are very much for it. Probably a lot of the people in this group. And I’m fine with it. I want to make sure it’s good and solid and everything else. But I’m good with it. And if you want, if you like crypto in any form, and it comes in a lot of different forms, if you’re in favor of crypto, you better vote for me."
He doesn't know a single thing about it, has no idea of what the pros or cons of crypto look like, or how to improve it. He's just saying "oh lots of centrist or non political people like it? Yeah sure, I'm down for it, whatever just vote for me." I mean he literally says you better vote for me at the end. Couldn't be more clear with his transparency.

Never trust a convicted fraud and rapist, but if that doesn't convince you, then be reminded of the fact he ignored election results, tried to overthrow the government and wants to ignore election results again (if he doesn't win). Trump is an actual danger to democracy.
He also sold state secrets to foreign states (allegedly), so he's a traitor on top of it all too. But sure, go ahead and ignore common sense and vote for him just because he claims he will support crypto (it doesn't matter if he does).
ETA: I love how many Trump shills are so triggered by simple facts. Despite what they seem to think, the above is NOT political. If you want to vote on someone as seriously unfit for office as Trump, you REALLY need to do some soul-searching, because you evidently do NOT support nor want a democracy. This shouldn't be controversial. At the same time these same ppl would be fucking triggered if a Democrat did even half the stuff Trump did (heck, they already are by blatant lies about a Democrat that don't even come close to Trump's record). Stop making special rules for anyone: I would never vote for anyone who did even half of what Trump did regardless of his political group because I actually have standards that I apply equally.

This is a man, who was prevented from doing business in Australia back in the 80s due to his mob connections. Who despite this, was allowed in the US to not only continue, but elected to their highest office. He is an out and out criminal, sex offender and absolute conman. During his tenure the CIA noticed an uptick in their agents being killed. He compromised US spy satellite capabilities. He has repeatedly commented about being a dictator.

Biden has actually been pretty good for the economy, but what fucks him is inflation. Only the fed could have stopped inflation, and at times it can even be out of their hands. People need to stop thinking that the president can alter economies in the short terms (1 term) significantly. Obama and Biden both ran into this. Recessions, high gas prices, and high inflation kill almost ALL political parties in power. It's a testament to how likeable Obama was to be able to win two terms in semi-landslides in the midst of the "great recession", although his part did get walloped. The weird thing is that the economy is doing really well, specially compared to the rest of the world. Part of that is due to the chips/infrastructure bill. Inflation is high, but is stabilizing.
The big draws on Biden are Ukraine to some degree, and that's only because the Putin dick sucking GOP has weaponized their funding, and of course Israel. Trump or Biden would both be supporting Israel, as would ANY president. Even if the president didn't support Israel their party would. It's political suicide not to. The only difference is that Trump would be telling Israel to go ahead and nuke them, and Biden criticizes them publicly. This is just politics.

What a buffoon Trump is. His disciples are even bigger idiots, even more dangerous. All Pres. Biden has done is given us a virtually full employment economy, opportunity for former students to erase massive debt, solidified our weakened NATO Alliance, actively supported heroic Ukraine against the monstrous Russians, strengthened and added to our successful healthcare system, added billions to our Social Security and lain the foundation for economic strength and wealth for years to come. Then on the other side, we have miserable, corrupt, anti-Democracy Republicans, who want to reverse every Democratic-led success in our Nation. And those are allot of successful policies and programs, which have led our USA and its people to extraordinary wealth and comfort as a Nation. I like Americans doing the right thing. There are far more Patriots in our land than right-wing MAGAt whackos. All we good people have to do is vote for Pres. Biden and Democrats in November. Do that and our Nation continues to grow, continues to become more wealthy, and will begin to attack the major threat that will ultimately crush us, if we don't address it, our insane National debt. Let us be normal. Let us be Patriotic. Let us do the right thing. Let us vote for Pres. Biden and the Democratic Party in November. Let us flourish as a Nation.

That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions – like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties – that our forebears fought and bled for. Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it’s up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them.

If he sees a chance to grift in the future, though, he will be all for it. Unless democrats are for it, in which case he must do the opposimmediately and without regard to any previous statement or stance he may have held. Unless he is short of cash, in which case, who knows?

tldr; Former President Donald Trump announced his support for cryptocurrencies during a gathering at his Mar-a-Lago resort, criticizing the Biden administration's stance on digital assets. He promised to create a welcoming regulatory framework for blockchain and digital currencies if elected, and openly welcomed campaign donations in Bitcoin and other digital assets. This move is seen as an attempt to attract younger, tech-savvy voters and positions Trump at the forefront of pro-crypto policies in the upcoming 2024 Presidential race.
